Andrea Mitchell shows her stripes again (birther story)

Hillary can't keep her pneumonia to herself and email, email, email for Andrea. It's all she can talk about.

But when Donald Trump says he has a major statement to make, and then does an infomercial for his stupid hotel, and then let's his military sycophants act as human shields for him, and then offers no apology but even congratulates himself, she has no comment on that.

Andrea Mitchell is human scum and should be fired.

I was reamed a new-one before the lockings for being a misogynist.
I've been walking on DU eggshells because of it.

I have been tarred and feathered, after being here since DU day 2, for the first time of steadfast support for progressivism... for misogyny (by a certain group of posters supporting a certain female nominee for POTUS).

I've been disgusted by it. I'm sticking to DU's offbeat fora since.

I was commenting on her proximity to Alan Greenspan and where her sympathies truly lie, not her gender. If Andrea Mitchell were male & Greenspan female, I would've called Mitchell Mr. Greenspan. I'll watch it, though.

Needs to put her out to pasture. Sadly it's up to the field reporters to correct her sorry ass. Somehow she managed to turn this story into a bash of Hillary - saying Sec. Clinton is now distracted by the Birther story instead of giving speeches her campaign wants her to give...

Propagandist.

But emails and someone keeping their cold to herself, well, that's just something she can't stop yapping about. There's a clear flaw in her character.

and she talked about birther, mentioned he lied, and had Joy Reid and Kristen Walker and Katy Kur on the program talking about it..atleast for 10 minutes.

She did give a lot of time to Joy Reid, Kristen Walker, and Katy Tur and the Trump lies about how Hillary started it. I was surprised. She's usually so anti-Hillary that one could reasonably suspect she's either jealous of a BIGGER alpha female, or she's getting paid under the table by the RNC.

Seems to be OK to do so now. But, I'm still on the edge because of it.

She is Greenspan's wife. That does not make her Mrs. Greenspan. She has chosen to not take her husband's name, and by referring to her as someone's wife instead of her name, you are insulting her, since that is not her choice. Greenspan does not get called Mr. Mitchell.

Well, unless or until I'm warned, she's Mrs. Greenspan to me.

And by the way, she insults me because she's not covering all of the LIES, racism and deception which comes from tRump and surrogates. She's shirking her so-called journalistic creedo by being nothing more than a shill and mouthpiece for tRump whose scandals she barely covers, while at the same time holding Hillary Clinton to a different and more stringent standard than she does tRump.

The Greenspan comment would account for only one of those.

Worthless. Talk about a "media whore"...this weak kneed "journalist" is among the worst.

It's pathetic cowards like Andrea that have degenerated our news and media pillars in this country to nothing more than cowardly ratings whores. Just pathetic.

Andrea could certainly move down the street - to Pox Noise, where she'd be a far better fit, and she could indulge in her Hillary hatred to her heart's content.
