Andrea Mitchell has a conflict of interest.

1. The entire corporate owned MSM
has a conflict of interest, IMO.

2. Amen to that!
It's insulting the public that they do not disclose her connections every single time she's on the air.

3. What about Dick Gregory?
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 09:40 AM by mrJJ
MSNBC's David Gregory's wife was right in the thick of the crap at Fannie since 2005 Beth Wilkinson Beth A. Wilkinson was Fannie Mae's executive vice president - general counsel and corporate secretary. She reports directly to the chief executive officer. Wilkinson has oversight and management responsibility for all legal issues, strategies, services and resources. Additionally, she serves as the business-oriented, senior legal advisor to the board of directors, chief executive officer, and members of the senior management team.

4. David Gregory also has a conflict of interest. (Husband of former Fannie Mae Executive VP.)
Both should recuse themselves from reporting on or discussing the issue.

7. Actually, I have never felt she was a good reporter, interviewer whatever. If you listen to her,
she never feels sure about what she is saying or asking, never follows up on a lot of questions, doesn't really seem to know much about the topic. I feel if it wasn't for her husband, she would never even have that job.
