Good God - Andrea Mitchell is at it again

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

She opened up with a love fest with Joe Lioeberman. Then she had L.A.Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on the air and gave him nothing but a hard time, accusing Obama of folding on gay marriage because of Biden and then she said that Obama staffers were "trashing" Biden behind the scenes. Villaraigosa seemed to take exception to her colorful choice of verbs, indicating we don't know the facts. Moments later, Mitchell interviewed some right wing hack and agreed 100% with him, never challenging him. She had a look of disgust on her face when she played Obama's new ad where Romney's Bain shenanigans are described as the work of a vampire. Her right wing nut said that's divisive and anti-capitalist. She could have challenged him by asking how it's divisive if Santorum and Perry were accusing Romney of the same thing.

Mitchell has become the most extremist right wing host on MSNBC, worse than Buchannan, worse than Scarborough, because somehow she still enjoys a reputation as an objective journalist.

She needs to go. I can't find an e-mail address for MSNBC or I would have posted this gripe to them instead of here.

4. Well what do you expect? She's married to Alan Greenspan!

She's nothing more than a mouthpiece.

5. "Anti-capitalist" Andrea? For reals?

I suppose if your definition of capitalism is "I stole my money fair and square, so fuck you," then, yeah, call me anti-capitalist, too.

6. She's a total wingnut. Always has been.

7. KKKrazy Uncle Pat was canned a while ago.

What the hell do you expect Mrs. Greenspan to say? She's married to one of the people most directly responsible for the Lesser Depression. She knows which side her bread is buttered on.

8. Are you sure about Andrea being a righty?

I know she has thrown a few hardballs at Mayor Villaraigosa and people from the Obama camp. But it would seem farfetched in my opinion for a righty to be on a commercial that is anti-voter ID, and her commercial about women in the workplace. Voter ID laws are a right-wing policy, while feminism...not so much.

9. The last two days she has really gone after the Obama ad about Romney's Bain shenanigans

and appears to be in the Romney camp. Her show has always involved hardballs for liberals (which is good journalism) and softalls to conservatives (which is not) but this morning when she basically agreed with everything her right wing guest said about Obama being divisive and anti-capitalist took her right wing hackery to a brand new level.

17. On gay marriage recently, she declared marriage "A Sacrament!" ...

She did not qualify that statement with "some see their marriage as a sacrament" ... she said "marriage IS a sacrament".

She's a RW tool.

19. Have you listened carefully to that MSNBC voter suppression ad by Andrea Mitchell?

A lot of liberals on blogs find it deceptive. Mitchell accuses "parties and interest groups" of trying to suppress the vote, as though both parties are doing it when we all know it's just the Republicans.

22. I agree about how ludicrous that sounds, but

I originally thought that Andrea worded it that way since she's supposed to be a straight news anchor, and it would look biased for her to state exactly which party is responsible for voter suppression.

20. She's married to Alan Green$pan

She's a Corporatist POS.

10. Pretty sure she socializes with the Liebermans

And she laughs while she does it..

12. And we're supposed to believe our media is liberal. WTF are they smoking and where might I obtain some?

[asjr]

14. MSNBC can boot Chuckie Toad along with Andrea. He has

been pro Romney so much in the last 2 weeks I can't stand to hear him.

[soleft]

15. Why does Rachel Maddow keep telling us to watch

2 times Rachel has lauded her for her knack of breaking major news. I do not believe it's because Rachel has been given marching orders from her bosses. I think she's sincere.

[tabasco]

16. I'm sorry, but

why do you watch that propaganda?

18. Pat Buchanan is no longer with MSNBC

21. the media is no friend. they are gonna make it a horserace. truth be damned.

m$nbc having joe scarborough in the morning is like fox having keith olbermann, except the latter is pure fantasy.

23. MSNBC doesn't give a crap about what their viewers want, MSNBC wants money

The TV paradigm of TV news being a place where actual news is reported has long been dead. It was replaced with pure propaganda slowly but surely and now TV only places mouthpieces in front of the cameras to sell viewers an extremist RW view or a corporate LW view.

Read about the progression of propaganda in the United States beginning in the industrial age, around 1900.
