I know many here don't like Andrea Mitchell
and that's fine. I believe you that her political coverage is biased, and not very good in general. But you've got to give her props for foreign policy. At least I do. I watch only the foreign policy section of her show, after recording it, and it is usually head and shoulders above CNN.
Today she interviewed guests about the Nevalny death and the Rs withholding Ukranian funding. She was well informed, made no apologies for Rs, and let her guests talk. Michael McCall, the former ambassador, said that Biden should release frozen Russian funds and give them to Ukraine. He said that many Rs are in favor of this and it would be a good solution. He's in communication with Biden about it. I found this very interesting and informative, as well as positive. There was no stuttering or interrupting from Andrea, and she asked relevant follow ups.
Some here have compared Tur to Mitchell, but Tur doesn't have Mitchell's foreign policy expertise, and has a horrible, bored attitude, so I think that's unfair to Andrea. Just my two cents, of course.

... has experience, for sure, and must be worried about the new Republican party. I admire her career and longevity... sadly, what I remember most is her breathless, breaking news coverage of Hillary Clinton's email releases. The emails never lived up to the excitement.
