If you are near a TV that's set to M$NBC it's time to switch off Andrea Michell. Let's send that Clinton hater's ratings to the bottom of the tank.

(92,061 posts)Keep in mind it was MSNBS that start this whole distortion, by misrepresenting the fact, and insinuating it was from Hillary and her server, both complete LIES, since it was from Huma and her deviant ex husband Weiner

(5,038 posts)M$NBC has never really been the progressive network we hoped it would be. Now more than ever - they spend far more hours promoting republicans and republican ideals. At best there are maybe three hours out of every 24 when progressive voices are heard.

(2,550 posts)She doesn't seem RW at all in her reporting.
I've seen her attack every RWer and defend Democrats so much that it made me a little uneasy at a news stations bias.
I wouldn't throw Ruhle under the bus.

(21,055 posts)Not until Chris Hayes does it sound somewhat liberal.
But Andrea Mitchell is a right wing troll who lies everyday. She really hates Hillary. I wonder what the backstory is on them?
Blue Idaho
(5,038 posts)But lately they have been turning over huge swaths of air time to show complete Trump speaking events. Let's face it - they are just another biased mouthpiece for the 1% - so they air what they are told to air.

(15,805 posts)Either that or something serious happened to her. Is she ill? I don't remember seeing her look this gaunt and haggard. Her skin looks like is just hanging off her face. Its not just the normally expected wrinkles earned by age, but her cheeks look rough and scarred and pocked with dark pits. Did she have some sort of facial treatment that went haywire?
Look at her chin; it looks all swollen, lumpy and bumpy like she got smacked around, or had some medical procedure that injected something which didn't work as expected. I dunno, maybe she isn't wearing the right makeup, or its because she outdoors under natural lighting?

Looks like you got some puke on your shoes.

(6,787 posts)All lives matter and commenting on someone's looks is not sexist. Someone can be ugly; someone can be beautiful; someone's face can be pockmarked or not pockmarked. Their faces may not be germane to the subject but it is not sexist.

(15,805 posts)I know when I look awful, and when I'm sick or tired, I'd look somewhat like she does. When I'm ill, I look it, and what my lyin' eyes see, has nothing to do with her lady parts, or mine. Your mileage may differ and maybe you're lovely 24/7; not my issue, but most of us aren't that fortunate to escape the effects of age or illness... just ask me.
I speculated that maybe it was due to a poor makeup job or the bright sunlight by way of explaining her harsh appearance. She doesn't look like her normal self today. If you think she does, then the onus falls on you, yeah?
Grey Lemercier
(1,429 posts)SO FUCKING SICK of it coming down to female appearance.
Sexism is sexism, regardless of the political ideology who you are attacking. It is wrong.
procon
(15,805 posts)no correlation to gender. Get over yourself. Your hangups are yours to cope with, not mine. If pasting huffy labels on everything makes you feel better, then have at it, but I ain't gonna play your game. At least take the time to understand what that sobriquet means before you start lobbing spitballs.

(15,805 posts)Is illness and bad makeup limitedto one gender? Explain why a public figure is exempt from any criticism, opinion or speculation about health or physicality simply based on her lady parts? And you would ban all such discussions because... what? It's unseemly, damned Free Speech, just give us a pass due to our squishy bits, yeah?
Seriously, isn't it the epitome of sexism to place us fragile womenfolk up on sacrosanct pedestals as objects and things that need to be protected from the hurlyburly of scathing criticisms and keep us immune from the slings and arrows of the wretched hoi polloi?

(15,805 posts)I've heard the same privileged condescension from misogynistic men for over 70 years. Like you, they too, couldn't grasp what sexism means either because it got in the way of their own pretentious bluster.

(6,930 posts)I don't trust her, I don't believe her, I can't stand her stumbling delivery, and she loves saying nasty things about the Dems. I tweet my hate regularly.

Blue Idaho
(5,038 posts)But the best solution is to starve her of viewers. That show she will get pulled off air.
oldtime dfl_er
(6,930 posts)KNOW we're not watching. That's why tweeting and contacting is useful, especially WHILE she's on air. Wouldn't it be great if there was an enormous FLOOD of tweets saying "Oh Andrea Mitchell just came on, I'm SWITCHING OVER TO CNN."
Blue Idaho
(5,038 posts)I hope it helps get her off the air.

unitedwethrive
(1,997 posts)they have contracts to send viewer numbers directly to the ratings companies. In fact, as long as your cable box is on, and tuned to a particular station, it doesn't matter if your tv is on or not...they think you are watching.
So, if you don't want to give MSNBC ratings (and you have digital cable), turn the channel before turning off the tv.
