This is why I hate Andrea Mitchell

[DLCWIdem]

She just asked Rep Hakeem Jeffries it's been a month now how are you going to get American people to care about this. Apparently she thinks people have forgotten about Trump terrorists breaking into the capital urinating and defecating in and vandalizing our house. The people house. Killing 5 people injuring 150 police officers, etc....Did she ever say that about Benghazi. What a hack

[ellie]

1. She's such a hack

Maybe she can give us a rousing report on Hillary Clinton's emails, next.

[Yeehah]

2. Why do you watch corporate propaganda on the telescreen?

Turn it off while you still can.

[dchill]

3. How will she get herself to care about it?

Actually, I believe she does. She just has to knee-jerk a doubting Thomas meme into any situation. Like Chucky.

[Faux pas]

4. I

NEVER watch her.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. She married Alan Greenspan, a disciple of Ayn Rand.

'Nuff said.

[sop]

6. Andrea sure tried to get the American people to care about Hillary's emails.

[Eyeball_Kid]

27. Hillary's emails are no doubt still on Mitchell's back burner.

Watch out for a slow news day. She'll pull that one out of her pants for a special Andrea Mitchell "scoop."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. It was a dumb question, but I'll bet a lot of people *don't* care about what happened.

It was far away; it didn't affect them directly; it was "only" Congress (which a lot of people don't like); and there are plenty of Q-sympathizers out there who might have even thought it was a good idea even if "maybe they went a little too far."

[LymphocyteLover]

19. but they never cared about it

people who care about it still freaking do, very much!!!

[lunatica]

29. Andrea talking about it isn't going to make them

pay any more attention if they haven’t already.

She’s very careful of cultivating her unique status. Of burnishing it just right so she appeals to the powerful as well as to the common man. It’s a balancing act that works for her because she feeds all sides what they want to hear in turns.

She knows that if she offends one faction that she’s pleasing the other, and then to maintain her situation she reverses that with a balancing act. Thus she can always claim neutrality.

It works for her.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. True, but the people who watch MSNBC probably already care about 1/6.

The ones who don't are watching Fox or worse, which are avoiding talking about it as much as possible - which might be one reason they don't care about it.

[lunatica]

35. From my experience in the workplace over a few decades

I found that the great majority of people around me simply weren’t interested in politics and had no idea it has great impact on our lives. The prevailing attitude was that they were vaguely convince there was nothing they could do about it, whatever it might be at the moment. Their answer was to sadly shrug their shoulders and dismiss it. They had more interesting things to do like post something vain on Facebook or text or gossip around their social life. They just lived their lives feeling untouched by “politics”.

There were people who cared and kept up with current events, but they felt just as alienated as I did.

8. I watch CNN from 12-2pm, sometimes until 4pm.

I return at 4 pm to see Nicole.

[StClone]

9. Mitchell does her job defending Clinton and attacking her

This upset me way back when Benghazi's crappy smell got warmed through efforts of the disingenuous Right: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/andrea-mitchell-calls-benghazi-report-devastating-katrina-trinko/

But then I saw Mitchell do this:

[lindysalsagal]

10. I usually defend women who have attained positions of notoriety but

Andrea seems to be just trying to "keep up" with her telecast these days. She seems unfocused and confused.

[spanone]

11. She's despicable

[blueinredohio]

13. Agree a million percent.

[stopbush]

12. Yep. In the same b'cast, Biden announces that his plan will extend unemployment benefits

THROUGH September. Then Mitchell recaps what he said and reports that he said unemployment insurance would be extended UNTIL September.

[Mike Nelson]

14. I've learned...

... how to have the channel changed so I never see her "Reports" show. I'm sure she's studying Hillary Clinton's emails and will call the FBI when she finds the proof in the pizza.

[Lonestarblue]

15. One of the people MSNBC needs to retire.

Let someone younger, smarter, a d not biased have an opportunity.

[ancianita]

23. Absolutely the very FIRST person they retire.

[Cozmo]

16. She's a HACK

[Duppers]

17. BRAVO!! K&R

[BobTheSubgenius]

18. Yeah, who could or would ever care about that?

A trifle...a mere bagatelle.

It actually caused GOP politicians to break with the party line and denounce the simulacrum behind it, and many people to either change parties, or just drop their R affiliation.

No one cares.

[Boomerproud]

26. Very few Republicans .

Most of them absolutely do want what happened on January 6th trivialized or forgotten altogether. My Trumper coworkers never bring up the riot but had a 15 minute cryfest how the 15 minimum wage will cost us our jobs and lead to higher taxes. We make the hefty sum of 13 an hour. Anyone like to go to the French Riviera this spring?

[lunatica]

34. Just a slight difference of

opinion here. It wasn’t a riot. It was a blatant attempt to seize power through violence instigated by Trump so he could remain in power. It was insurrection. A deliberate attack on Democracy in order to give all the power to one person.

A riot is never about anything but gratuitous violence and destruction of property and is not in any way connected to establishing any kind of government or rule. It’s just destruction for its own sake.

[LymphocyteLover]

20. sickening-- liberal media my ass

[ancianita]

21. I've never trusted her, a slow, shallow gaslighter of Dems. No followup or context with her. Ugh.

I don't listen to a thing she says.

[NurseJackie]

22. That's a good reason to hate her... there are SO MANY to choose from.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

24. the deference to her is real. It respects who she was more than is.

I doubt being Mrs Greenspan carries as much weight as her history with NBC since July 1978. Hope she isn't going for 50 years. Should have quit at 40.

Tom Brokaw only just retired. Maybe she is eyeing the exit.

[Tacan]

25. I agree with you. Chuck Todd is just as bad.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. Todd is worse.

[Jerry2144]

28. Imagine

Imagine there is a book about journalistic integrity sitting on her network’s news desk. Her desk, in relation to it, is on the other side of the universe. She is so far from integrity

[brooklynite]

33. Tune in tomorrow!
