Egyptian Foreign Minister Speaks lives, but all I heard was Andrea Mitchell talking!
Amazing!

Foreign Minister was talking about the very big difference between this U.S. administration and the last one, and how the approach from the US government is no longer rethorical but is in fact real, in terms of approach; this administration listens...really listens, and that's important, he said.

Then he went on to say something else, but of course, instead of being able to hear further from the Foreign Minister in advance of Pres. Obama's trip to Egypt, I got to hear Andrea Mitchell babble on while the TeeVee set was showing the Foreign Minister speaking.

Than we heard one answer from Hillary Clinton on N. Korea....and then they cut away.

And they call that reporting!

1. I hate it when they do that!
I don't why the pundits think they're more important than the actual politicians they're reporting.

2. They ARE more important!
None of the people they're reporting on get paid $1000 per word spoken or get bonuses for editorializing or obfuscating. That foreign minister obviously wasn't toeing the MSM line so it was important that Andrea talk over what he was saying. So there.

Down here in the rabbit hole on the other side of the mirror (i.e., in MSM's and Rush's 'Murka), things have gotten so insane that this is probably necessary in order for someone to understand: :sarcasm:
