Andrea Mitchell is a Fucking Idiot

Interviewing John Podsta on MSNBC just now, brings up the Hillary interview on Faux:

"Sec Clinton told Chris Wallace that Comey said she was truthful when she said she didn't believe any of the emails were classified. That's not what he said. He said that she was not untruhful. How do you respond to that?"

"not untruthful" = "truthful"

Andrea Mitchell is horrible. She has great connections but she's a lousy reporter.

what's "really" being said by pols. Yet she fails to "report" that Comey using the words "not untruthful" is an inelegant way to smear Hillary once again by uttering the word "untruthful" while speaking of Hillary. Damn the double negative, it's all about using the word "untruthful" as opposed to "truthful," which is what "not untruthful" means.

Almost NEVER gives her a break. Always looks to bring in a negative about her. Hell, if she cured cancer and beat ISIS, Andrea would still find a negative to stick in there. I now tend to switch to CNN when her MSNBC show comes on.

Shearer's dripping contempt for all things Clinton & Obama is off the charts. Been listening to Le Show forever, but his "too cool to be a dem" BS is increasingly hard to take.

8. His response wasn't great. He did that "at the time" routine

which makes it sound odious. He would have done better to call out Comey on his double speak.

12. Someone needs to call her out on not being current.

She either stopped following the story after the repub FBI directors initial statement, or she is purposefully ignoring it.

Either way, she is an irresponsible journalist.
