65. Ah, the Andrea Mitchell card.

NBC has a decades-long reputation for ethics and good journalism. (Not every network is Fox.) Mitchell has a good reputation. Compare her to the clowns at Fox. She's much better than any of them. The memes against her and Todd are internet memes. I would be amazed if even a small percent of those criticicizing her has any connection with news. Journalism is more than yelling at your subject or doing gotcha questions. The problem, as I've said numerous times, is that Fox muddied the waters about what good journalism is. Real journalism isn't what you always want it to be. It's what it should be -- the story told without bias. NBC does real journalism.
