She actually asked Congressman Jefferies, "it's been almost a month, how do you get Americans to care about the capitol attack"?
The Congressman looked a little shocked and pushed back that "Americans DO care".
Holy Fuck Andrea! It's January 6, 1942, how do you get Americans to care about Pearl Harbor?
It's fucking October 10, 2001, how do you get Americans to care about 9/11?
The attack of January 6, 2021 was even MORE destructive than either of those attacks, because this one came from within, and was foistered and enabled by one of our own political parties!
She needs to retire, or be fucking fired.

She actually asked this question to a doctor.
This is just a dumb, lazy, sensationalist question. It has no answer. EVERYONE DIES!!!! WE ALL DIE!!!! WTF did she expect her to say?

(2,250 posts)We do have such a short attention span. Republicans are banking on that so 1/6 is normalized and Ds are painted as hysterical. I HATE this!

(52,317 posts)It never occurred to any journalist to ask that question about 9/11 or Pearl Harbor because of course everyone cared about it.
So here she comes on air to say hey, maybe we shouldn't care, maybe people don't care, and maybe it's even a partisan thing to try to convince people to care.
Why would she even ask that if not to push the notion that an attempted coup was a nothingburger?

(1,261 posts)We care. DUers cares! Democrats care!
Repukes have already forgotten. Trumpsters and Alex Jones followers celebrate 1/6. Conservative conspiracy theorists believe Antifa and BLM did it. Yeah, I know...ridiculous! Millions of others have pushed 1/6 down their priority list or worries behind everything from finding another job to COVID avoidance/vaccination to posting today's selfie on Facebook.
I've personally talked to some of these people, and it's sourly frustrating. Andrea is not promoting 1/6 apathy, it's already here!

She and Chuck Todd are on my first dismissals list. She would have been gone on my first day. Him too.
Around our house, shes known as Andrea oh but her emails Mitchell.

(3,586 posts)I'd give their time slot to Malcolm Nance and Joyce Vance... just so I could call the show "Nance and Vance." And they're both great, so... bonus.
And Joyce is on the air as I write this.

(1,580 posts)I really hate that woman she is a hack. People don't care when those Trump terrorists broke in vandalized, defeated and urinated in the Capitol? In the "people's" house? She is infuriating!
McKim
(2,412 posts)This says more about her than anything. She reveals that she doesn't care about anything if its past. Why should anyone care deeply about anything except MONEY? That is what is in her head from living with a Neoliberal economist. She is without values.

(19,204 posts)She's certainly of retirement age, and I've noticed her really slipping the past few years. I always thought she was too far right-wing for my tastes, but she's become unbearable lately. Her wheels spin far too often. She can't think of the words she wants to say, she stammers and stutters. Go enjoy your wealth, Mrs. Greenspan. Please retire.

ProfessorGAC
(65,168 posts)...it was well known, back in the late 90s that Andrea did not change her name when she married Greenspan.
It is not merely her TV last name. It's simply a fact that her last name is not Greenspan nor has it ever been.
Accuracy matters.
