Take the Pledge: I will not watch Andrea Mitchell.

[redstateblues]

Long time MSNBC viewer here who is totally done with her. Hopefully if this catches on the suits will give her the boot and give Joy Reid her spot!

[Funtatlaguy]

1. Letter writing works best

Not emails
Not Texts.
Not phone calls.
Actual, old fashioned written letters have to be kept on file.
They make the most difference and are read and shared by people who matter.

[redstateblues]

2. Where would I find the address? I've heard they consider one letter is equal to 10,000 phone calls

Or emails.

[Funtatlaguy]

5. Here you go.

NBC News
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, New York 10112

[tavernier]

32. Yes!

Handwritten so there is no question of a copy.

Mailing tomorrow.

[Kathy M]

99. Thanks for the address , will write by hand

[calimary]

97. YES. That's the BEST Way.

Paul Begala once said 100 paper letters can change the course of a newsroom.

SHEESH - if only those of us ON THIS THREAD took the time to send a letter, we'd almost have that, just by ourselves!!!

I'm gonna write one, myself. BY HAND.

[Duppers]

100. Here's another address directly to MSNBC

MSNBC
One MSNBC Plaza
Secaucus, NJ 07094



I stopped watching long ago.

[Andy823]

3. I never watch her.

I do listen to MSNBC on Sirius radio when I am driving, but if she is on, I go to another channel. I got tired of her a long time ago.

[Demsrule86]

4. I never watch her...ever.

[MFM008]

6. I will and DONT

Ever watch her.

[PearliePoo2]

7. I listen to Sirius/xm Radio all day long. Equally CNN & MSNBC, however...

When Andrea comes on I now switch to CNN or POTUS or XM Progressive. Andrea is losing it, IMO.

[Hortensis]

8. Easiest pledge ever. She's like aversion therapy.

[titaniumsalute]

9. I never watched her...she sucks

[HurricaneWarning]

10. I'm in.

And she can take Kristen Welker with her. An up and coming cross between Chuck and Andrea.

[TeamPooka]

11. I do so pledge. nt

[Xipe Totec]

12. I have a better idea.

Watch the show, take note of the sponsors, send the sponsors messages that you will not buy their products because they sponsor her show.

[joeybee12]

27. +1

[niyad]

57. yes.

[redstateblues]

65. Brilliant

[Billb93]

13. Take the pledge: I will not watch Andrea Mitchell.

I quit long ago. I won't watch Stephanie Rule, Chuck Todd nor With all Due Respect.
I will also change channels or mute my TV whenever Hugh Hewitt is interviewed. He was totally anti-trump until they threatened his attending the Republican convention. What a phony.

[redstateblues]

66. Hugh Hewitt is on I'm gone. I know his voice

[ooky]

93. Good call.

I always switch channels when he comes on too.

[wncHillsupport]

77. Yes, why is

Hugh Hewitt interviewed so much. He sickens me. He looks like a person who spends 1/4 of his day preening into a mirror. And says the same thing every time.

[uppityperson]

88. +1, I agree. How did you find DU? I am always interested in finding this out.

[onecaliberal]

14. That's easy stopped that long ago

[ffr]

15. Who is Andrea Mitchell? j/k

I don't have cable, so I cannot watch her. I assume some of what she's been doing lately has been to create a false equivalency between the two candidates. I'd expect the corporate news to do nothing less.

[Ligyron]

64. The former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan's wife .

fake progressive.

[TwistedTinkerbelle]

16. Already skip out on her slot...

I cannot stomach her passive/aggressive, lying, acidic attacks on HRC. Nor her little hag loving minion Chris Cillizza. I'll watch freaking game show re-runs before I'll watch those two doing their hateful song and dance routine.

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. No need for me to take the pledge. I've never watched her, and even when she's a guest, I....

immediately reach for the remote.

[Eleanors38]

104. I not only don't watch, I don't listen.

[spiderpig]

18. Can't stand Mitchell and that stupid 20-year retrospective MSNBC spot

where Hillary calls her "indefatigable"

I have another word in mind.

[turbinetree]

19. Reid needs to be on Meet the Press

Mitchell should be fired along with a bunch more starting at 6 with the decaffeinated joe

[BigBearJohn]

20. COUNT ME IN!!

[bmstee01]

21. Me too

[geardaddy]

22. I've never watched her.

But I take the pledge to never watch her. Every time she's on, I turn the channel.

[Cracklin Charlie]

23. I'll take that pledge.

Haven't watched her in years anyway.

[oasis]

31. I propose a MSNBC swap with Fox's Megan Kelly.

[Goblinmonger]

105. Yes, let's make fun of how women look.

That's cool on a liberal website.

[INdemo]

25. All the MSBNC hosts have to follow the Comcast script and they

better or they get the boot.In case no one has noticed all of them are on their knees for the Fascist.
Except for Joy Reid and I don't expect her to be there long because she wont adhere to Comcast demands.
Even Rachel is very careful with her words.
Have you noticed how Tweety has shifted his stance with Donald..He takes the wrorst and trries to make it Donalds best by giving examples of how he attracts voter support and the key word there is " FEAR"

[redstateblues]

68. I used to like Tweety. Lawrence O'Donell speaks his mind.

[johnp3907]

26. Not sure who she is, but....,

OK.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Does this have something to do with TV?

What's a TV?

[budkin]

29. No problem, I stopped watching MSNBC long ago

Total joke of a network ever since they fired Keith.

[gopiscrap]

30. I am with you

[Tess49]

33. Never watch her. I cannot stand her, and grab the remote every time she pops up anywhere.

[world wide wally]

34. I'm way ahead of you on this one

[redstateblues]

70. I admire you. I got suckered in for too long

[fantase56]

35. Andrea who???

[calimary]

98. Welcome to DU, fantase56!

Maybe in a few years we'll all be asking that, as people forget.

I'd like to start toward that goal TODAY! I'm writing one of those paper letters. Our own Funtatlaguy up in post #5 thoughtfully provided the snail mail address!

NBC News
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, New York 10112

[Joey Liberal]

36. Amy Goodman on Democracy Now is much better

[yuiyoshida]

91. agreed!

[lark]

37. Never ever will I watch that joke of a talking head

[chillfactor]

38. the minute her time slot pops up...

i switch channels.

[yeoman6987]

39. Pledge? Really?

[redstateblues]

71. Kinda goofy I know. I just wanted to get her off MSNBC.

[TonyPDX]

40. This one's easy. I'll never watch a program that includes Ms. Greenspan

[JCanete]

41. what did you ever like about her? I always found her coverage and depth rather

shallow, and stilted, which I would expect from somebody as tied to the establishment as Mrs. Mitchel is.

[redstateblues]

72. It was like a bad habit that I finally broke. Kind of like quitting smoking.

[anamandujano]

42. Hillary needs to toss Mitch off her jet and give her a nasty case of apoplexia.

It'll be very bad form but Hillary is always too well behaved.

[femmocrat]

43. I never watch her.

I turn the TV off as soon as I see her!

[rladdi]

44. I have been saying this for months, she continues to trash Clinton on MSNBC.

Yet she hitches ride on Clinton place as a press agent. She is old, sentile and surprise that MSNBC continue your daily, hourly report. Clinton told Mitchell the other day that Mitchell has covered her for at least 30 years. But Mitchell has huge issues with Clinton. And actually support senile TRump

[Old Terp]

45. don't watch her now

and I will not in the future.

[Scruffy1]

46. Not watching is the best answer.

It's all about ratings. If everyone of us could get some other people to turn it off they would notice it. I personally turned all ofg them off years ago, but I don't expect everyone to do this. However, remember that every ad you view is money in their pocket. Current rates are about 6 cents per view, which means about 60,000 dollars for every million views. I refused to stop feeding the beast. Watching and complaining about is hopeless since they only care about total viewers. None of the younger people I know watch this garbage. We need a mass movement to boycott the MSM.

[Dem2]

47. Gave up on her ages ago.

She won't call a spade a spade, it's cowardice like this that has let the psychopath thrive.

[GusBob]

48. 3/18/2003. The day I stopped watching TV

Did they ever find those WMDS everyone was talking about

Ok I do watch football in the Fall......

[LakeArenal]

49. Easiest pledge ever!

[BigMin28]

50. I can take that pledge.

Haven't watched corporate news for years.

[pangaia]

51. Who?

[winstars]

52. For. Sure.

[asjr]

53. not only will I not watch her but also will never listen to her again!

[HockeyMom]

54. I will stand out of respect, but don't ask me

to put my hand over my heart or pray to God reciting the Pledge. I did enough praying in Catholic School. No more. No public school in two different states as a staff member disciplined me for not saying the Pledge. I suppose Adults, especially those who aren't MUSLIMS, have more right than Minors.

[redstateblues]

73. It was kind of a goofy way to galvanize opposition to her.

I just can't stand her

[forest444]

55. I pledge to take a page from the great Alan Greenspan.

And avoid even looking at Mrs. Greenspan.

[saltpoint]

56. Am I disqualified if I've already

long since stopped watching her?

If so, I pledge to continue to not watch her.

[redstateblues]

74. That works!

[saltpoint]

81. : ) eom

[GP6971]

58. No pledge required here

I stopped watching her months ago.

[redstateblues]

75. You were way ahead of me. You rock

[lunamagica]

59. I don't watch her

[Mira]

60. I took that pledge privately a long while ago.

But I gladly make it public.

[llmart]

61. I don't have to take the pledge.....

I haven't watched her in years, sometime way back before she had her facelift. LOL

She was awful even back then.

[redstateblues]

76. Wasn't she a real journalist in the past? How did she get that gig?

[2naSalit]

62. No problem with that!

Never watch her anyway.

[japple]

63. Never have watched her, never will. We don't watch

tv. It is unplugged, not hooked up to anything. Takes up space and requires dusting. If we can figure out how to hook it up to the old fashioned rotary antenna from the 1980s, we might do it. Watch tv, that is. But never Andrea Mitchell.

[Ligyron]

67. BTW, what is wrong with her anyway?

Her speech is stilted, sputtering, etc.

Did she have a stroke or something?

I turn her off as fast as I can find the controls.

[wncHillsupport]

80. I have noticed that

there are days when Andrea is not 'all there' mentally. That is when she searches for words and stutters trying to recall the topic.

[tavernier]

85. She will be 70 on Oct 30.

I know this because we share the birthday, day and year. That's ALL we share. Can't stand the woman. But I've noticed especially this year, I lose words once in a while too. Comes with age.

[Blue Idaho]

69. CNN has much better programming during her hour...

But then again so does the weather channel. I stopped watching that partisan hack weeks ago.

[redstateblues]

82. I think CNN has realized how lame their competition is in that slot

[asiliveandbreathe]

78. I shut down the whole mess - including Rachel months ago -

Joy is great - Lawrence maintains his calm - and mine...

Andrea needs to hear from us.....I think a comment or two headed her way...

[redstateblues]

83. Those two are the only ones I trust. Joy is fearless. Lawrence tells the truth calmly.

[unitedwethrive]

79. I always switch to CNN during her hour. I can't take her!

[CajunBlazer]

84. I take the pledge - that's easy, I never watch MSNBC

And I wouldn't recognize Andrea Mitchell if she came up and shook my hand. Why do you folks continue to bitch about what she does or doesn't do - wouldn't be easier not to watch her?

[Stellar]

86. MSNBC... LOVES their Republic0ns.

Joe Scarborough is still there with his 15 hours a week (more hours than anybody on MSNBC) early in the morning, to f#*k up your day. I haven't watched him in two years and he's still there. They would much rather get rid of those people on the left than those on the right. You probably already know those that they forced out or got rid of to date.

[lsewpershad]

87. I left

A long time ago

[VOX]

89. I do not now, nor will I ever watch her...

For the most part, cable news is god-awful: crosstalk, bullshit stories, filling the 24-hour schedule. But Andrea Mitchell is among the worst, so no -- not now, not ever.

[Coolest Ranger]

90. I will and

I haven't in many years

[Journeyman]

92. Haven't watched television news since Linda Ellerbee signed off from "Overnight" in '84. . .

and my life is infinitely better for it.

Do yourself a favor. Don't even need a pledge to accomplish it, either.

[pwb]

94. I can't watch her. Cut the cable long ago.

But she has always been terrible.

[flying-skeleton]

95. Andrea who?

[calimary]

96. DONE. Already.

I made the mistake of sticking around this morning when her show started - after we'd had Tamron Hall and Craig Melvin on in the background, earlier. And whaddya know? Within the first few minutes, she's dumping on Hillary, talking about a rally where Hillary's lead-in, Congressman John Lewis, got all kinds of huzzahs and enthusiasm, but when Hillary spoke, things went flat. "I and my colleagues who were there noticed it..."

AW FUCK! There you go again, Andrea. You just can't help yourself, I guess...

I tweeted:

@mitchellreports There you go again w @repjohnlewis trying so hard to push @HillaryClinton "flat," isn't connecting. MY, how you hate her.

@mitchellreports Your ongoing @HillaryClinton-hate is nauseating. Gave you 2nd chance this am. There you go AGAIN! Screw it. Hello @CNN!

And then I switched to CNN. Ashleigh Banfield for relief from symptoms! Thing is - I'm learning to leave it on CNN until "Hardball." That way I miss the smug assholes Mark Halperin and John Heinemann on "With All Due Respect" AND of course dear darling Chuck "it's not my job to fact-check" Todd in the "Meet the Press" weekday edition. EMINENTLY missable, both those shows. It does mean, unfortunately, that I have to suffer through Wolf Blitzer, and his WORST-breath-control-IN-THE-ENTIRE-INDUSTRY, but I'll take bad delivery over bad, biased content any day. 

Meanwhile... I've been trying to do something about the whole Andrea Mitchell plague:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028174252

[DFW]

101. That's an easy one. We don't get U.S. TV here

It wasn't a difficult decision

[prairierose]

102. easy for me...

I stopped watching M$NBC a couple of years ago and haven't watched her for years.

[apcalc]

103. Easiest pledge ever!

[tandem5]

106. been recoiling for years -- no problem.

[freebrew]

107. Cheerleader for the BFEE, ...

I don't care for her 'journalistic' "style".

Isn't she married to someone that used to be important?

[angrychair]

108. Ahead of the curve

Don't watch Mrs. Greenspan anyway...

[Skidmore]

109. Nevermind the pledge. Just change the channel

and tweet the name of the alternate program you chose toher show & MSNBC. Today mine was Paranormal Witness which was conducting an exorcism. I told them that too. Ancient Aliens or some other fantastical program serves as well.
