Andrea Mitchell said, "He's lying again," and then continued to cover the disaster at the border. We need more of this in the media. "He's lying. Here's what's really going on."

(3,435 posts)...is trump's propagandi aparatus to spread hate and lies. Am I? Am I a conduit for his message of hate? I just deleted my cnnapp.
I refuse hear the hate propaganda and lies from miller, conway, huckabee-sanders, or any repub pundit especially when hosts like Cuomo lets them spin lies unendlessly. I was sickened when he had huckabee-sanders as guest last week...today more so. Balanced news? Provide both sides time? NO, not when one side is supporting the torture of children.... Basta! Enough!

(6,916 posts)What value does he bring to truth?
Zero.
And his reputation requires we assume everything he says is a lie.
So why listen to a single word he says?
Ignore him. Its the right thing for the country.
And as citizens we should do the same. Dont watch him. Dont read him. Dont listen to him. And DO NOT retweet him or reply to him or repeat his words. Repeating Trump helps Trump. Dont do it.

She is an solid little stooge for the profit media center that is NBC.
Every time I hear about Clintons emails I hear it in the voice of Andrea Mitchell. She was obsessed and was not reporting the truth during the campaign.

Now, if you really feel that way about Trump's lying and what's the right thing for media to do, perhaps you should make a big stink about pressure from on high to cut back to that lying sack of shit and then resign saying "I won't be part of this fascist, racist takeover of our country."

Orsino
(37,428 posts)I think he gave Miller the go-ahead, and as usual only wanted to be able to take credit for a PR success. Here we see him ranting about not getting adulation, and about people daring to question his lazy, detached ass.
The responsibility is still Trump's but we've known all along that he can't run an office, much less a branch of government. Other people are doing this in his name, and he doesn't even know what "this" entails.

ancianita
(36,047 posts)it takes fifteen positive stimulus events to return the subject to his/her original state, no matter their relative outlook on the world.
One reason why neither Obama or Hillary will never overcome negative narrative events constantly put out by fakeass Fox for years, and why Dems will have to see a lot more truth-telling from those two.
We're experiencing a national learning curve about media hosts who've been misled, stayed committed, learned or sold out.

DFW
(54,369 posts)There is a major difference between giving a Republican slant to the news, which Mitchell openly does, and substituting Republican lies FOR the news, which she has just declared she will not do.

It takes a strong will not to look, and to keep calm and focus.
I keep thinking, if I can not control my thoughts and emotions at a time like that, what will I ever do at the time of my death?

(18,470 posts)I would rather have sports or just about anything else on. I go to the gym to work out and not be distracted by blowholes spouting off. Especially reich wing state television (aka Faux News) blowholes.
And my answer to people not liking that is if you want to watch the news that bad go the fuck home and do it there.
