Andrea Mitchell "complicit"

Perhaps she doesn't intend it this way...but every time she chuckles at trump's "antics," it indicates, yet again, that MSM doesn't see him as a credible threat to life and liberty. Which, of course, he is.

I saw this way too often - not only Mitchell - in 20 16. Some did not (Tur, Maddow, obviously), but many at NBC/CBS/ABC did...

If you proles are suffering because of Trump's "antics," it's no skin off Andrea's nose. She'll still go to all the swell cocktail parties and live a life of luxury and ease. If you didn't make good choices like she did, too bad. She thinks her privileged position is unassailable by the capricious winds of political vagaries.

Of course, when her house gets blown down, she'll be the first in line to wail and kvetch about how unfair it all is, and why can't all you unwashed hoi polloi be more sympathetic to her plight?

9. I've watched her since her domestic and international coverage since the 1980s.

Andrea's a workhorse. Since the 1980s, she has worked as Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Chief White House Correspondent and Chief Congressional Correspondent for NBC.

She's been one of the best reporters in NBC's history, IMHO. And a breast cancer survivor.

A POS, she isn't.

Breast cancer survivor or not, she's still a partisan POS!

Have a nice day!

12. Yes, she has worked very hard

to destroy Hillary/and the Clintons. She has also taken on the mantle of protector to Alan Greenspan and the harm he caused to our country through his financial “wisdom and advice”. I believe that is why she doesn’t retire... so she can incinerate any negative stories that are released about her hubby.

bigoted sexual predator who loves a murderer, Vladimir Putin, destroying our country. It's time to get serious and stay serious. We are in a direly serious situation.

5. I've seen it too. A number of them smile and/or chuckle over Trump, Putin, Kim Jong-un, etc.

Frankly, it makes them appear very naive ... which they are not. I don't get it. Exceptionally dangerous events are occurring, the world is now at a hair's edge, we have a damn fool trying to run the country, and they smile/chuckle. I've seen it across all networks. It's creepy!!! Many journalist are note takers and many anchors are story tellers today.

7. I noticed her intro was about Jared receiving millions.. not HUNDREDS of millions..

Her tone seems gossipy rather than serious. I don’t know, maybe she’s trying her best and this is just overwhelming and hard to absorb for someone so entrenched..

She can't say something off-putting. Just imagine the damper that would put on the whole affair. Oh, my word!
