Why bother? Another o'blemming...
Thanks for all your gutsy reporting through your career. Maddow says you are always in the right place at the right time, but you are also the right person. Good on you.
When are you and representatives of the media going to put some teeth behind telling the truth? What kind of example are you setting for our youth when you and representatives on both sides of the aisle conflate political prowess with telling the truth? Singing Ryan's praises because he is able to create a false narrative and, thereby, fool those of us who have not been following the political process as many of the political junkies in the media, simply elevates the notion that the means justifies the end. When you try to be non partisan, fearing that you may be defending one side or another instead of condemning Ryan's lack of truthfulness, you demean the whole democratic process.
Andrea Mitchell = Left Wing Propagandist with absolutely zero credibilty.
Why not just watch the "babbling brook" at Fox news then, if they are more your speed. I'm sure you'll find much credibility there...if propaganda is what you seek.
Propoganda from a lot of angry white men is what you get on MSNBC.
Couldnt agree more Zathrose... She's about as useful as a reporter as Obama is as a President. ZERO
How can Andrea Mitchell continue to have the title of NBC News Correspondent. Have you seen the ad she did for Obama? Completely lost all credibility as a newsperson. NBC should fire her for allowing the Oboma campaign to use her as a spokesperson. Shame shame shame.
andrea you are a nice lady but please be a netral journalis..........!
Well, that didn't take long! The first question asked and YOU (Andrea) could not answer the question. You could not answer the question why? Did Obama ask you personally to deflect the question? Hey look over here at this, please don't look at Obama's pathetic record. Andrea Mitchell you are a joke!
She's a bad joke at that
maorioa - Gutsy reporting or do you mean slanted? Coming from the giraffe necked hyper-biased lesbian Maddow, thats really all you need to know about Andrea! Is it not? You should also say, you are in the left place at the left time.
Calling people names makes your comments oh, so much more credible.
By the way- that was meant to be sarcastic.
Name calling Geo-1957883 the true sign of ignorance .
Andrea - you just said Ryan's budget balances the budget ... not for 25 (or more) years. You also said he is smart ... not so sure about that either, and, at least in terms of higher education, a bachelors in econ at Miami of Ohio does not make him the whiz-kid everyone makes him out to be. He IS an accomplished politician - I'll give him that. The term "smoke and mirrors" comes to mind .....
Please Andrea -- Tell these Republicans that Obama did NOT "cut" the $700b from Medicare. It is a TRANSFER into new elements of Obamacare which will provide improved services for Medicare recipients.
Seriously- allowing Romney surrogates to spread lies about the differences in Romney's and the President's Medicare cuts are two different animals.
By throwing softball questions, you distort the truth.
And your bias becomes more obvious every time you interview a Republican.
MSNBC needs to put you behind the cameras.
MSNBC, What's up with the crappy creepy prison shows? Dear Andrea Mitchell, Please stop interrupting the President (or the first Lady), during their speeches. It happened again today. It really sucks. I always turn you off and go finish the speech online. You do yourself no good cutting in like that.
Andrea you need to go and join Fox. You let Republicans take over your show and you make no attempt to put the records straight. You should learn from Chris Mathews how to conduct a decent interview. Not the first time and we now switch you off.
Kind of surprised that it was such an issue to have Obama meet with the press. I think being on the campaign trail is a lot more critical to the campaign right now.
Hi Andrea, I and my sister in Kentucky are fans of yours. I'm in california. We
talk politics by phone. We have a concern that has been a concren of others.
Why do you allow Repulicans to take up most of their interveiw time constantly
repeating themselves as they slam President Obama. Yet when interviewing
a Democrat it appears that, are you give the impression that, the President is not
being open to the news media??? We have a problem with how many things he
should be doing as he races across the country. He is trying to get out as much
info as one man can in such a short time. Those who come on your show to
represent him should have as much time to do so as your Republican guest.
Hoping you are in good health....
Lame, Andrea. Never a follow up, as if you were a shill for these folks on the right, pretending to be left of center, able to get the opposite side to appear, but only by letting them get away with their lies. You do a disservice. And you're stumbling every day more and more with words, memories and the like. TIme to pack it in. Your efforts are weak, your followups non existent, your work counter productive and ultimately dangerous in its lack of focus and result.
You make me sick. I change the channel as soon as I see your face.
please ask the people on the show whether or not it is 545 members of the House and Senate who are the only people able to change the Constitution or change or make a budget for the USA. Will they give up their Healthcare? The Blame Game is everywhere, but the buck stops at all Congressmen and Senators- including Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
These are the Fact: Romney has been a Racist all of his life! The Mormon Church taught him as a Child to Hate others!! The Mormon Church still teaches that All African American People are a Cursed People!! They believe that this Biblical!!!! I believe that the GOP + Romney (The Mormon Church) = The Largest Racist Hate Group In America.
Andrea, I have always loved your reporting. I was, however, a little disappointed that you did not press Condi Rice a bit more the other day when she gave credit for the outcome of Osama bin Laden to the previous administration, and when she defended the Iraq war as something "good" for the Iraqi people. They sold the American people on those lies without challenge-boldly went to war despite the protests of the UN and the rest of the world. She was quite defensive about their actions, but I felt she should have been challenged on this-rather than the "birther" issue.
I have always admired you for your intelligence and grace. I hope that you "bring it" to the liars.
By the way, whose brilliant idea was it to have you interviewing people with the loud, albeit enjoyable, music in the background? I guess the same producers who allowed Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow to bellow their questions to Dr. Rice during the interview? I applaud you for keeping your decorum! I would not be able to concentrate with a concert in the backdrop! Are they trying to test your fiber? Well, you pass, Andrea!!!
If Eva Longoria and all those other very rich liberal women love Planned Parenthood so much, how about them ponying up the money that the government is currently supplying to this controversial organization? Democrats are always telling us that the "rich" don't need as much money as they have.
So....can't Ms. Longoria get by on $500,000 per year (or even a million)? She could re-distribute all the excess she makes, and easily keep Planned Parenthood flush. These rich liberal women need to put their money where their mouths are and do some major re-distribution of their own riches. The taxpayer should not be forced to fund this gang.
How can Andrea let a guest refer to the President as "Buddy" on the Sept 11, 2012 show. Ongoing lack of respect to the President of the United States.
Yes, MJB, there has been a lot of disrespectfulness to the President. that would be Pres. Bush, who was disrespected and called worse than "buddy" by the left.
The Komen Foundation has every right to give their grants to whomever they want. It's unfortunate that they buckled to the pressure of liberals and the media to keep giving those grants to a very controversial organization, Planned Parenthood. If liberals love Planned Parenthood so much, it's time for them to put their own money where their mouths are. End the taxpayer subsidy, and make it an organization that has to fend for themselves, just as places like Catholic Charities has to.
When will we see less reporting on what Mitt Romney said about the Pres. and the middle east, and more reporting on what the President did or didn't do? What did he know, and when did he know it? Why has he missed so many personal intelligence briefings, including all of them in the week before 9/11?
Why did he run off to Las Vegas yesterday instead of staying in Washington to do the job he was hired to do?
I just finished watching interview over Romney's video on not caring about the 47%. The other person, didn't catch his name, questioned the motive for recording his comments. Doesn't matter. He said it, no one forced him to. Someone was there to record it and hold him to it, what does it matter what the recorder's motive was.
Uh, class warfare was totally instigated by the Republicans.
