Finally, a journalist put Andrea Mitchel in her unpatriotic place. And Andrea has to apologize.

[joetheman]

Just now on Andrea's show. She keeps asking the leading question "Do you feel betrayed by the US?"

Bitch!

[Ocelot II]

1. *sigh* How about a little context? What did she say and what did the journalist say?

We aren't all watching Andrea Mitchell this morning, you know.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Some of us intentionally turned her off...

Seriously, her endless stumbling and bumbling trying to formulate simple sentences annoys the holy living shit out of me.

[hlthe2b]

3. Yes. OP, Please summarize what was said by both for those of us not watching tv.

[joetheman]

23. The context in the OP title. She asked the journalist

If she felt betrayed by the US. The journalist said she didn't think it was proper for her to answer a question like that in summary.

[ShazzieB]

24. But how did that "put Andrea Mitchell in her place"?

it's really not clear from this.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

4. Mitchell needs to retire

[XanaDUer2]

5. what was said? Nt

[Treefrog]

15. Apparently we'll never know.

[XanaDUer2]

22. Lol!

It'll be lost in the mists of time

[LakeArenal]

6. Did you post this just so you could use the word at the end?

No context? Just a slur?

[Treefrog]

7. Seems likely.

[MrsCoffee]

10. +1

[LakeArenal]

11. Profiles are interesting.... nt.

[Kingofalldems]

12. Can I steal that?

[LakeArenal]

13. Sure. Because it's always informative.

[likesmountains 52]

16. Clever user name too...nt

[ShazzieB]

25. That word should not be allowed here.

Gendered insults have NO place at DU.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. Do better.

[MineralMan]

9. Please do not use that word to describe any woman.

Thanks.

[Treefrog]

14. I've noticed a few who like to word their posts so as to use that word and get away with it.

I remember one poster telling about what he would say to a someone coming to his door (can’t remember the reason).

In his imaginary story, the worker was female and he kicked her off his doorstep while using that word.

So obvious.

[iemanja]

18. Then we are told the word isn't really sexist

despite the fact they always use it to attack women.

[Treefrog]

19. Exactly.

Same posters do it, and if I can spot that then I’m sure posters with more time here can too.

[ShazzieB]

26. We should all start alerting on it every time we see it here.*

I have resigned myself to the fact that I am going to encounter gendered slurs online, and I can't control this for the most part. But at DU? NO. Not acceptable.

This should NOT be allowed here.

*Like I just did.

[CrackityJones75]

17. This forum needs a live chat

This forum needs a live chat feature for the tv watchers to be able to communicate in real time.

edit: Oh wow! Either through the common usage of it in our social vernacular or being tired of the topic at hand I didn’t see the sexist slur at the end. WTF?

[ShazzieB]

27. I didn't see it at first either.

I just didn't notice that there was anything else after the first paragraph. Now that I have noticed, I can't unsee it. UGH.

[Dawson Leery]

20. k/r

[Scrivener7]

21. Do you see that thing I am looking at???? Whoa!!!! Do you hear those thoughts I am having??
