Nailed it, nailed it, nailed it, and just kept on nailing it!

Called out reporters for not bearing down harder on Donald Trump. No freakin' KIDDING!

It's been sheer agony for me to watch the "journalistic" malpractice on wide display.

Andrea Mitchell, for example.
Trump had just held his news conference where all this stuff about his possible connections to Russia came up (shit, they even asked him about it - color me shocked!), And what did she lead with at top-of-the-hour? Terry McAuliffe running his mouth off that she obviously felt was damaging to Hillary. ANYTHING to lead with dumping on Hillary. When, franky, I'm pleasantly surprised to see the Russian thing is starting to grow legs. But HER lead was whatever might reflect poorly on Hillary.

I think I tweeted about four or five times, on her page with criticism about this, questioning her VERY clear anti-Hillary bias.

My last tweet was about how I was so fed up with her anti-Hillary bias that I'm switching to CNN. Which I then did - for the rest of Andrea Mitchell's hour. Think I'll be making a habit of that. I wasn't exaggerating. I'm totally fed up with her "reporting." If she hates Hillary that much, she really should be working at Pox.

Yay for Rob Reiner!! Hope it sinks in. n/t livetohike Jul 2016 #1
