Andrea Mitchell has completely lost it !
I have seen at least 4 reports from her today & each time she has distorted or blatantly used republican talking points in her "reports."
I know she's nothing more than a repub shill, but shouldn't she be held to account when she gives and responds w/ her personal opinions as opposed the actual facts as they are ?

It's infuriating. :evilfrown:

5. Why do you think the whole gang is on the trip
Andrea is a scumbag. Someone should ask her about her husband's role in the sub prime mess.

6. I have solved the andrea mitchell dilemma
by turning off the teevee after countdown is over. Thus I don't have to hear her condescending voice or look at her crater marked face. I have not actually encountered the beyotch for years and I'm a lot happier for it.

8. What is her beat?
It used to be the State Department. Does she report exclusively from D.C. or is she "on the campaign trail"?

12. She's jealous of the soldiers for being allowed to talk
to Obama while she's on the sidelines. I've watched her during this trip and she is continually grouchy and miffed at not being given more of the spotlight. She just referred to Obama's talking to the soldiers as being "fake interviews" since he wasn't talking to a journalist. Then she said she had "never seen" a candidate act like this. Really? Really, Andrea? You "never saw" the endless Bush "clearing brush" interviews? The McCain barbeque "interviews"?
I think Andrea has been relegated to the sidelines and she's not taking it well. Those impertinent soldiers are soaking up all the attention.
Who do they think they are?

20. Whoa, bet the soldiers loved that.
It might have been almost enjoyable to see Mrs. Greenspan throw a tantrum about it, but I'm better off not subjecting myself to that.

Thanks for the detail.

13. Held to account for doing her job?
Nonsense. It's just that her job description has changed over the past few decades. The transition is now complete and she's an fully integrated member of the ministry of propaganda, working exclusively for the oligarchs who own her, their political arm, the RNC and, by extension, the Bushies and now McCorpse.

So why would anyone but the powerless peasantry want to hold her to account? She's performing exactly as she's supposed to, faithfully delivering the right wing message to an audience of uncritical, misinformed, gullible, apathetic and mentally castrated vegetables.

Just another trained seal pretending to be a "journalist," hiding behind the First Amendment while she labors non-stop for our massuhs who have worked so hard -- and successfully -- to kill that very amendment.

18. She never admitted that the minimal media reports from
Obama's travels were "handled" by the DoD, possibly for the safety of the entire entourage.
