Anybody sick and tired of Andrea Mitchell?

Have you had enough of her insufferable anti-Hillary bias? I have to admit - I'm just fed up!

Inspired by this:

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/twitter-explodes-at-andrea-mitchell-for-declaring-trump-tough-on-terror-but-clinton-off-message/

And pursued by this OP from our own Cyrano:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028173791

I started in, tweeting, to her @mitchellreports and then decided maybe we have to go up a level because complaining to her won't do any good. And I'm trying to include OTHER newsfolk's Twitter handles as well as OTHER news competitors. The idea is to make damn sure other eyeballs see this, including those of her peers. Maybe she has to be shamed into being less biased? For example:

@mitchellreports DISGUSTING! http://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/twitter-explodes-at-andrea-mitchell-for-declaring-trump-tough-on-terror-but-clinton-off-message/ Bias much? Just when did you take up residence inside @realDonaldTrump's back pocket?

@mitchellreports SO damn tired of your anti-@HillaryClinton bias! Time to start taking my complaints upstairs. You on Trump's payroll?

So I did. Still can't find Andrew Lack's Twitter handle. Not sure if he has one. But there's always @NBCUniversal, and there are all those other competitors' emails, too, so they know this is stirring up a hornet's nest with VIEWERS. Anybody wanna join me?

@NBCUniversal @NBCNews @MSNBC @waze DISGUSTING anti-@HillaryClinton bias by @mitchellreports this morning. Looks like she's on Trump payroll

@NBCUniversal @NBCNews @MSNBC http://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/twitter-explodes-at-andrea-mitchell-for-declaring-trump-tough-on-terror-but-clinton-off-message/ @mitchellreports shows WAY too much anti-HRC bias. @jheil She getting paid by Trump?

@NBCUniversal @NBCNews @MSNBC http://www.rawstory.com/2016/09/twitter-explodes-at-andrea-mitchell-for-declaring-trump-tough-on-terror-but-clinton-off-message/ Could @mitchellreports time be passed? @CNN @CNNPolitics @nytimes @TheFix @CapehartJ

Anybody wanna join me? No way I can get this done by myself.

Should we maybe start a campaign to get rid of Andrea Mitchell?

Have we had enough? Having suffered through her manifestly extreme bias against Hillary for WAY too long, I've certainly had enough.

I know there are many others here and elsewhere, too, who are fed up with her smug, sanctimonious, biased reporting. By now it's quite shameless. Some help would be appreciated, and would probably help this have more of an impact. OR at least harder to ignore!

the latest time - she will never forget Hillary laughing at her at the presser after the CIC..9-8 on the tarmac - andrea was jumping up and down in front of the cameras - after last question announced...Hillary heard her - and started laughing saying andrea you're my kidda......(pause) woman...was brilliant.....

to completely agree with you on this. It's always bothered me that, whenever she's discussed on here, people immediately bring up Greenspan and put what he's said and done on her, or talked as if she is his puppet. She is her own separate person and should be treated as such, just like all women should be treated as their own persons separate from their husbands words and deeds.

We see the same thing coming from the right in regards to HRC; they talk as if she is solely responsible for everything Bill has said and done and can never seem to talk about her without making it seem as if she is inseparable from Bill. Actually, and unfortunately, I've seen people on our side do the same damn thing.

But I keep thinking about that timeslot. Joy Reid sure would do nicely in that hour (Noon Eastern, 9am Pacific).

I always change the channel when Mitchell comes on. It's not only her bias against Clinton, she's a lousy commenter or communicator. Not sure if she's always been like this, or if she drinks, but she seems to have difficulty finding, or remembering her words.

It also seems as if all the others at MSNBC fawn all over her about how great she is. Sometimes I wonder about their sincerity, and if they do so to stay in her favor.

I don't watch CNN, but will definitely tune in for Banfield. I haven't watched her since forever, yet I do remember having respect for her.

Ms. Mitchell, she apparently has a devoted audience. Otherwise, she would have gotten the chop when Comca$t took an axe to the daytime lineup. I, personally, can't stand her, and immediately reach for the remote wherever she shows up. Switch her off. Go out to lunch, or go for a walk during that hour. It'll save your nerves.

Believe me, I'm not saying you shouldn't organize as many folks as possible to highlight her anti Clinton bias, but my suggestion is that everyone switch her off, and let her know they won't be back until she's more balanced in her coverage.

I sent an email to NBC/MSNBC that this "journalist" should retire. Her anti-hillary rants and the way she sets up her questions demonstrate a definite bias against HRC and for Trump.

Then again, she's married to another con-man who tanked the US economy twice with his Ayn Rand policies. Andrea Greenspan has to go.

even if I'm not watching. So in one way, it's not the answer. Although I do like Ashleigh Banfield a lot better on CNN at that same time - for however long that's going to continue.

If her ratings dropped, it'd be something. But she must have a great contract and an agent with lots of leverage. Even so, the pressure should be applied. She needs to know we're out there keeping track, and we are NOT pleased.

I may have to watch tomorrow and take note of who the advertisers are...

I find I now have a routine. At 9am Pacific time, I switch to CNN. And I've started just leaving it there while I work or write or craft or whatever. Just noise in the background, really, but I can still listen while I'm doing something else. I usually don't switch back til Hardball.

But the advantage of leaving it on CNN throughout midday, even though I hate Wolf Blitzer's HORRID breath-control problems, is - I also miss Fuck Turd - OOPS, I meant Chuck Todd and the obnoxious Bloomberg twins, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann on "With All Due Respect." My husband reinvented Chuck Todd's name and now that's become a routine for me, too!

Tue Sep 20, 2016, 01:07 AM
Sep 2016

around her. A torrent of complaints - a tsunami of emails and a storm of tweets will at least get their attention, encourage others to join in or at least retweet something, and MAYBE show dear Andrea that her work is widely suspect. And that her bias is unmistakeable. And that SHE herself is no longer credible.

Especially NOW with the media somewhat uncomfortable amid all the very recent comments and op/eds and harsh criticism about the general botch job they've collectively done "covering" this election. There have been swarms of this, for the first time that I've ever seen.

It started with the avalanche of bad reviews for the AP's abysmal job on the Clinton Foundation and yet another scandal that not only WASN'T but was extremely loosely and recklessly reported all the way along.

Then came "Lauering the Bar" night at the Commander-in-Chief Forum, which left Matt Lauer rotating on a spit from the sign-off through the whole next day for the shit-job he did.

Now, we have all the rest of it - the Newsweek report that nobody seems to want to bother following up on, because it's tax stuff and financial stuff and it's not nearly so fun or racy to cover as it would be if there were a stained blue dress in there somewhere.

AND there was last Friday - where Trump tried to lead the press down the garden path again for his REAL intention - to get a free infomercial about his new hotel, throw in a bunch of Trump-supporting veterans as human shields, and then LIE his way all over the birther mess, inflaming it again, about Hillary starting the birther movement, and spinning such utter crap about it that the media COULD NOT avoid the words "lie" or "lies" or "lying" or any other derivation of that word. It was not possible for ANYBODY to spin this shit such that you could call it something other than a bald-faced, flat-out LIE. It was such a big fat lie and stunk up the joint so doggone bad that NOBODY could avoid calling it a LIE.

MAN the gymnastics the media has attempted, to avoid using the word "lie"! MAN-OH-MAN have they tied themselves into multi-layered pretzels trying to get around calling shit like this a lie. But this was the last straw. No one has been willing to leave the spin that Hillary started this alone. They just couldn't wrap their limited intellect around this one, it stunk so bad. Couldn't find a way to make it work.

I was utterly delighted. YES, you idiots! He fucking LIED! AGAIN!!!!! About time you assholes recognized it, and start calling it exactly what it is.

I have come to hate her smug attitude. Once upon a time I admired her simply because she got where she was in what used to be very solidly a man's world. But as I've observed her coverage in the last couple of years, it's just burned. Just BURNED. The bias! The total flagrant bias! She cannot bring herself to make even ONE positive comment about Hillary without overrunning it with negatives jabs, asides, comparisons she'll pull out of anywhere to try and cast Hillary in a bad light. She seems to want to go out of her way to cast Hillary in a negative light. Consistently and perpetually.

It's nauseating. I won't watch her anymore. Wonder who'll replace Ashleigh Banfield now that she's moving to Headline News?

Andrea Mitchell and Brian Williams droning on and on on a split screen.

On a continuous loop.

I can't be sick and tired of her since I've never seen nor listened to her.

I certainly despise biased reporting, which is why I don't watch or listen to "news" on the tv or radio. It's all biased. I don't really know anyway to "fix" it, outside of some sort of modern fairness doctrine, breaking up mega news corporations into smaller entities, and maybe a strong union for journalists that would protect them from negative consequences for reporting truthfully and neutrally.
