Fascinating comment from my VERY perceptive husband, about Andrea Mitchell...

[calimary]

18. Hell, in this day and age, it's kind of sad to think that this could be little more than

cat-fight stuff.

One would think that, by NOW, for Pete's sake, most of us would have evolved out of that, or at least tried to.

But shit, I'm sorry - the more I think about it, the more I think my guy pegged it head-on. It would not surprise me at all. And Greenspan himself may not even have been aware of his wife's reaction when he tossed out some random quip of his own that was flattering about Hillary.

I used to regard Andrea Mitchell as a very good, strong, solid, and objective reporter. Admired her for her work and her drive and how high her efforts enabled her to soar, to such a level of prominence in her career. Seriously! I have my female news heroines (like Cassie Mackin, Pauline Frederick, and Barbara Walters back in the day, and Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, and Katy Tur, now). But with the rise of Hillary, I have been struck by Andrea Mitchell's very thinly-veiled negative bias.

At first, I thought it was just me, being frustrated and terribly hypersensitive about the consistent and thoroughly undeserved negativity toward Hillary. But it was unavoidable. I couldn't ignore it. Even while I doubted it and thought it was just me jumping to the wrong conclusions. I swear - it ROUTINELY seemed as though Mitchell could not find a positive thing to say about Hillary if her very life depended on it! Even on the last night of the Dem convention, when it was a night of 100% sheer flat-out triumph for Hillary Clinton, ol' Andrea STILL couldn't quite get there. She was unable to report on the huge and enthusiastic crowds there for Hillary without making a snide little comparison to how big/much bigger Bernie Sanders' crowds were. I tried to be objective in my assessment and found that it was no longer possible, with what I was watching, and noticing. It just got way too obvious after awhile, because I started keeping track more closely. And finally, after long and careful observation, I couldn't deny what conclusions that kept hitting me in the face. And I finally became SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF about it!!!
