Anyone watching Andrea Mitchell?

[EmeraldCityGrl]

Sununu just yelled at her attempting to take control of her show. This is the third incident
I've seen this morning of Repukes challenging and attempting to dominate shows on MSNBC.

Kay Baily Hutchison attempted the same thing earlier this morning.

1. I saw...and my response to them

You anti-patriotic fuckers voted against my son and all veterans.
Piss on you.

[BumRushDaShow]

2. Ha!

Let 'em bite the hand that feeds them. But they might not like the result.

[liberaltiff]

3. Short-lived

I am watching, but their happiness in their liar of a candidate will be short-lived, Mitt will put his foot in his mouth again. I am confident.

[wryter2000]

9. Welcome to DU

[liberaltiff]

12. Thank you I feel so at home!!

[w8liftinglady]

16. hugs!

[liberaltiff]

22. Thanks right back to ya, dems are the best!

[monmouth]

19. Last night was the "setup"...two weeks will come the "sting". Welcome to DU..n/t

[liberaltiff]

21. Thank you, and I agree

[leftynyc]

34. Loved that movie

Hope it turns out exactly the same way for us.

[monmouth]

38. Me too, I watch it every time it's on..n/t

[porphyrian]

4. No. n/t

[adigal]

5. I wonder what their thinking is

Any journalist worth anything will be pissed at this. And do something about it. I just seems counterproductive.

[flamingdem]

6. Plus he called Obama lazy

if that's not a dog whistle what is, frickin disgusting racist we should complain to msnbc

[Cleita]

7. Why do you watch her?

She never fails to show bias when she can. There are several good left leaning radio shows on at the same time with better guests. The best way to get her off the air is if her ratings go down and in order for that to happen, you have to turn off the channel when she's on.

[southern_belle]

8. No, she was defending Obama

and was PISSED at Sununu!

[Cleita]

20. I wouldn't know because I don't watch her,

however, the fact she would have the likes of Sununu on to air his very biased propaganda is enough reason for me not to watch. I don't mind the occasional right wing hack on a program as long as they are exposed as the liars that they are and are forced to back off their carefully formulated Heritage Foundation talking points like Thom Hartmann does. Otherwise, I don't appreciate them to be able to say anything without consequences like our MSM usually allows them to and Andrea is particularly guilty of this.

[veness]

10. Andrea was great!

Idiot Sununu said Pres. Obama is lazy.

Andrea said, "I' m giving you a chance to take that back.

" Take what back?"

"You just called the President lazy. Would you like to take that back?"

"Hell no! He IS lazy! Blah blah blah..."

Then more Sununu screaming.

Andrea was calling him on all the b.s. he continued to spew, but he would not stop.

She remained highly professional.

I hope someone posts the clip!

[Cleita]

24. Why did she have him on to begin with. She knew what she was going to get.

He and his filibustering, shouting ilk shouldn't be allowed near a microphone unless they have something salient to say.

[Blue_In_AK]

26. I understand your frustration, Cleita,

but it's good for people to be exposed to these disgusting Romney surrogates so a distinct contrast can be drawn with the dems. It's kind of like when bill maher has the conservatives on his panel and by their own words they expose their idiocy for all to see.

[Cleita]

31. Yes, but Bill maneuvers them to do so, these people like Andrea usually don't.

So Andrea did it this time. Big deal for the number of times she and her colleagues never did and allowed them to spout their shit without question or rebuttal.

I guess it's getting harder for her to have to share a lunch room with the likes of Rachel, Big Ed and the Rev. Al. I'm sure they tell her what they think and maybe that's why she's developing a bit of a spine and trying to remember that she was once a real journalist. Maybe her contract is due and she's getting apprehensive she won't be removed.

11. Called Obama "lazy" ... believe it or not Mitchell has gotten BETTER

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. Sununu said every tax deduction is on the table

That would include the home mortgage deduction and the charitable deduction. I've never heard this position before. In his zeal to describe Romney as a good negotiator and Obama as a lazy incompetent, I think he let something slip that could be very big.

[liberal N proud]

14. Republicans are notorious for interrupting everyone on talk shows

This is would just be the next level and that is how they think they can take America back to the 18th century.

Bully it back.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

18. Chris Mathews said last night MSNBC was the only

network having the discussion about Willard and his lies, my words not his.

This is a new aggressive strategy against MSNBC. Watch, it will get worse.

CNN has been FOX lite since the campaign began.

[Cleita]

23. Which campaign are you talking about?

I found them to be Republican Lite since the campaign of 2000.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

29. True. They just no longer try to hide it.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

36. Yes. I saw a distinct change in 2000.

It's too bad that Ted Turner's CNN became a pile of crap.

[Delphinus]

32. Was watching PBS

last night and was very surprised when they didn't mention anything about the lies.

[WCGreen]

15. Why don't they just shut down the microphone...

You know who invented this strategy? The Nazi's...

[ann---]

17. I never watch Andrea Mitchell

can't stand her.

[Blue_In_AK]

25. Just following their leader.

That was Mitt's tactic with the debate, as well.

[AlinPA]

27. I can't watch her. She is a republican tool.

[PatSeg]

28. This isn't the first time Sununu

has yelled at her in a very condescending fashion. It was just a little while ago that he was inexcusably rude on her show and I was shocked that she had him back on. I'm yelling at the TV right now. She shouldn't put up with him.

I'm also amazed that the Romney campaign uses him as a surrogate. He is horrible. How did he ever get elected governor of a state?

I did see Hutchinson earlier and it looks like the GOP thinks one good debate performance (if you don't take into consideration FACTS) means they've won the election and the right to do whatever they want on television.

[moondust]

30. Control freaks.

Can't stand 'em.

[nc4bo]

33. Was it Bernie Sanders I saw sparring with Hutchinson?

Bernie unloaded at the end and Hutchinson wanted the last word, host said time's over, the end. She insisted on getting in the last line anyway but it was ineffective.

The GOP are nothing but bullies and I get so po'd when reporters, journalists, hosts roll over for them. It really makes them all look weak.

[PatSeg]

35. Yep

She was on with Bernie Sanders and she just didn't want to take no for an answer. Very pushy.

[BlueStreak]

37. The Faux ratings are dropping

so they have to venture out of the cocoon. Besides, there are only a couple million people that watch Faux so regularly and they need to find another 5 million votes somewhere.

They aren't accustomed to getting anything other than softballs.

[Life Long Dem]

40. I never liked Sununu

A squealing slimy pig comes to mind.
