61. It's always politics...

Of one sort or another. Mitchell was on every show during the Iraqi evacuation. She has a lot of clout with her network and probably owns a big chunk of stock in it which means when she feels she needs to go shit-talk someone or something, she can foist herself upon the hosts because there are few who could keep her off their show. Watching Rachel's body language and discomfort during their conversation, it seemed like Rachel was on script because it would have been unpleasant if she had not stepped out of the way and let Mitchell have her say.

Mitchell is a war monger and is likely among the war profiteers.

That's how I saw it at least.
