Andrea Mitchell keep talking about the "unverified" video that MSNBC will not show

but she keeps talking about it and repeating the contents of a 14 year old video when Obama was at Loyola talking about the role of government. She even mentioned the Drudge Report posted it. She just can't help herself and it is really getting on my nerves.

She is also emphasizing "losing a few points on foreign policy" but ignoring the headliner - that the WSJ find Obama ahead by 5%.

No and he cannot do it unilaterally if he wanted to anyway. JRLeft Sep 2012 #11

Andrea says what she is told to say by her conservative bosses. NEVER confuse her with an actual independent minded news woman. She is nothing more than an overpaid sock puppet.

that video was Breitbarted by Drudge, who left out some key comments. As if that's new.

This is a pathetic attempt by AM and Drudge to play false equivalencies. Obama's message of fairness polls well, Romney's message of reverse Robinhood does not.

What she said here was kinda off, no question. But I think she usually seems fair. I don't think she's as bad as the likes of OxyRush or Billo the Clown.

Tell her what a twit she is for pushing unconfirmed stories.

When you tweet someone like her don't forget to put a period in the first spot right before twitter account name. For instance, for Andrea it would be .@mitchellreports -- That period expands the scope of twitter users seing the message.

In addition, using hashtags which are these -> # will expand a tweet. So if you don't want to tweet to Andrea Mitchell but want people who have an interest in her you can use #mitchellreports in your message. An example: #mitchellreports spends most of her time being Romney's dog.

What Mittens said was in May. What Obama said is 14-years ago. And it is hardly anything devastating.
