Tell Andrea Mitchell What You Think [Updated]

OMG. My head just exploded over this one. Mrs. Greenspan needs to GO! WTF? What a demeaning thing to say about another woman! Sheesh!

I hope it doesn’t take being a woman to know how baaaaad this statement is. What a shill she is.

Mitchell should be forced to set the record straight in her own words that she lied when she claimed Hillary lied about the hospital story.

At this point I’m just getting very depressed about all of this. The media is responsible for Hillary’s tarnished image. I feel such a personal sense of insult and hurt over her treatment and I know there are millions of other women who also feel this way.

I will NEVER vote for McCain or Obama if, in fact, it comes down to those two idiots being their party’s nominees.

I am furious, pained, greatly insulted and scorned.

Susan:
Please take a look at my blog yesterday on Mitchell’s report on Bill and Hillary Clinton’s income. She was not expressly critical but there was an undertone of indignation. This is, of course, incredible–given that her husband collects reportedly $150,000 per speech, gives many all over, and collected an $8 million advance for his book.

I will be e-mailing my strongly stated letter objecting to Ms. Mitchell’s statements and demanding an on-air apology.

Thank you for succinctly summarizing the relevant information.

OMG! Reading that probably spiked my blood pressure!

I’m going to have to print Andrea Mitchell face out and attach it to my dart board. Or maybe I’ll stick her photo on the bottem of my shoe.

I write letters and complain about sexism in the media so much I’ve created a form letter. I just fill in the blanks and print the thing off. Which is good because I wrote it when I was calm.

The press knew she told the truth yesterday but they are in the bag for the health care dollar. They also hate the Clintons. 1+1=2 Kornblut sat there and knew she had the info and just kept her mouth shut. Mitchell has alway been a hack and MSNBC should be boycotted by us all…money talks and the only thing they understand.

My e-mails to NBC, et al are being returned as undeliverable. Anyone else having that problem?

Excuse me, but I’m sick of these insults from the entire media. Hillary Clinton is an exemplary woman! Don’t they realize that when they attack her, they are attacking all women?

You see ladies how far we’ve come? You see how they REALLY feel about our sex?

OUTRAGEOUS!

Thank you for letting me vent.

Well, my emails are getting through as I’ve had an exchange between myself and Steve Capus for half the day. I’m working on my third reply to him. He is not a happy camper.

This is his latest reply to me, which is similar to the others that I’ve received from him today.

I’m just incredulous that MediaMatters posts something – and immediately, otherwise smart people, start emailing us the same messages over and over. Please consider the sheer absurdity of the basic charge that Andrea Mitchell, of all people, is sexist. She’s had a long, distinguished journalism career — which means nothing to MediaMatters…. All they care about is politics.

Well, here’s my letter to MSNBC. I was a bit steamed when I wrote it.

=====================================================

I am writing concerning Ms. Mitchell and the decidely anti-Clinton slant to her
reporting.

Both today and yesterday Ms. Mitchell made snide remarks against Sen. Clinton to
dissuade listners from voting for her in the Democratic Primary.

Yesterday, Ms. Mitchell, while interviewing a Washington Post journalist,
accused Sen. Clinton about lying a story concerning a young woman dying because
she could not afford her $100 co-pay to enter the hospital. As I’m sure you
know, Sen. Clinton was correct. Where is the apology from Ms. Mitchell?

Today, while interviewing Dee Dee Myers, Ms. Mitchell twice made snide remarks
that based on the Clinton campaign there is no evidence that a women should
rule (a country).

What kind of a news program are you running? What kind of idiot reporters do
you hire? When you interview them, do you check for pro-Obama bias? Do you
check to ensure that they have a sexist misogynisitc streak and will either
insult or call Sen. Clinton names while on the air? Do you check to ensure that
they don’t have an ounce of professionalism in their bones? Once they meet all
these requirements, then they are hired?

And Ms. Mitchell, or should I say Mrs. Greenspan, has no business criticizing
others after her husband worked so hard to destroy the US economy and put us
into our current recession. As they say, “People in glass houses shouldn’t
throw stones”.

Was this on the same day that Mitchell’s husband, former Fed chief Alan Greenspan, publicly endorsed Senator John McCain? It’s becoming impossible to find anyone without visible bias these days in the television media. If it weren’t for the Wolf Blitzers and Anderson Coopers, we’d lose heart altogether that there is no one left who can show political neutrality while reporting the news. I find this highly unprofessional and unworthy of Andrea Mitchell; hopefully, she’ll see that and make it right, regardless of which candidate she is (privately) supporting.

I’m trying to figure out how a respected female journalist would make such a blatantly misogynist statement. Andrea Mitchell has joined Chris Matthews and his ilk at MSNBC, pretty sad.

And by the way, Hillary Clinton fired Penn because he expressed his own trade views which did not agree with her own. There was never any doubt that Clinton’s view differed from Penn. Obama was telling voters that he didn’t agree with NAFTA while at the same time he had his advisers telling Canadian officials the exact opposite. Clinton was doing what a strong boss does. Obama was LYING to voters. This is not “splitting hairs,” these are entirely different situations.

I think Andrea Mitchell IS Alan Greenspan IN DRAG!!

I was once on an elevator when that nasty thing got on, with her nose in the air and swanky sunglasses. Looked the other way to make sure that no one would dare speak to her, in the unlikely even that their stomach settle from the experience.

And you Ms. Mitchell are a perfect example of
why they never will.

This issue is significant… But let’s get back to the REAL issue. The failure of MSM to “reveal” BHO for what he really is and their vile and corrupt sexist treatment of Senator Clinton… This just distracts us and is one of obama’s ploys.

Oh dear Andrea Mitchell…if I were as ugly as hell as she is and married to someone 20 years my senior who doesn’t exactly qualify as Sean Connery, I’d be bitter, too.

I just sent a message to NBC that stated the following. I hope it is read by someone in management.

Dear Sir,

Andrea Mitchell’s recent comments about Hillary Clinton having a “growing credibility gap” were disturbing to me. In a time of a very close and heated Democratic nominating race, irresponsible comments such as the one that Andrea made, can have lasting implications. Hillary Clintons’ story about the tragic death of a pregnant mother has been proven to be true, whereas Andrea Mitchell’s assertions about the story being a lie have now been proven to be false. Andrea owes Mrs. Clinton an on-air apology. This was lazy reporting by Andrea. If she doesn’t provide an apology, then it will only confirm the “growing credibility gap” in NBC’s reporting.

Respectfully,

FYI: A letter sebt to Mr. Capus:
Mr. Capus,
Recently, Mr. Phil Griffin, head of MSNBC, indicated that MSNBC and NBC News are basically one and the same. Simultaneously, MSNBC announced two new shows with Andrea Mitchell and David Gregory; the announcement solidified the view that what MSNBC does is a reflection of NBC News.

I recognize that television news executives must be mindful of viewership, including viewership statistics, all the while attempting to adhere to accuracy and to live in the Parthenon of journalism, “unbiased reporting.” My view is that NBC’s need to claim certain viewership statistics has cannibalized it’s brain, heart and hands that held onto “unbiased reporting.”

Our presidential campaign has called into question issues involving racism and sexism.

MSNBC’s actions appears to be sexist, racist and politically biased; and therefore, arguably, by extension, NBC News is sexist, racist and politically biased. Let’s take a recent example in which Andrea Mitchell commented that Sen. Clinton’s campaign is not a testament to Dee Dee Meyer’s book title, Why Women Should Rule. First, the title of the book is ludicrous. Second, if the book title was “Why Afro-Americans Should Rule,” and Ms. Mitchell indicated that an Afro-American’s presidential race was not a testament to support the book’s title, her comments would have been condemned by the network. Interestingly, both MSNBC and NBC are using Prof. Dyson as an expert commentator, even though his book urges Afro-American women to accept the sexist “ho” language of rap music. I seem to recall that MSNBC fired Mr. Don Imus for a “ho” comment.

I used to watch Mr. Chris Mathews’ MSNBC show as well as his NBC Sunday show which airs at 6:30 AM in my time zone. But both shows became nothing but rants against candidates Mr. Mathews didn’t like, including Sen. Clinton; and his shows became nothing but spittle-laden kisses for the candidates he did like. The shows weren’t thought provoking; they were mind numbing. I can appreciate that Mr. Mathews appears to have a large ego, like all of us; and, like anyone in the television/print media business, he wants to be influential. But Mr. Mathews is like a Luella Parsons — a caricature with floppy big hats. (Jon Stewart’s diss of Mathews when Mathews appeared to pitch his book said volumes.)

I used to watch “Countdown.” I thought the audacity of Keith Olberman, even dressed in his “Guys and Dolls” gangster-style pinstripe suits, was interesting. And then he, too, latched onto a programming scenario that insisted upon negative Sen. Clinton stories. The programming consisted of bash Clinton and bash Coulter and bash OReilly.

I also heard Ms. Mitchell as well as “Morning Joe” hosts repeatedly comment that the Clinton so-called “hospital story” contributed to the “credibility gap” for Sen. Clinton; conversely, there was very little commentary/publicity when the story was proven true by the Washington Post. Interestingly, the same lack of coverage about the truth of this story was evidenced by Fox Network. Since Fox is going after a particular viewership, without any thought of objectivity, I’ll assume that NBC and MSNBC is going after a particular viewership with the same absence of consideration for “objectivity.”

Since you and Mr. Griffin are now tied at the hip —MSNBC and NBC are essentially one and the same — and MSNBC eschews adherence to objectivity and demonstrates an habitual aversion to insisting that its hosts refrain from exhibiting sexism, then I have to conclude that the network has embraced the era of “penny newspapers” that never, never clothed their publications in the seriousness of “objectivity.” These publications were biased, and sometimes salacious, soap-boxes. Fox Cable embraced this approach; apparently, NBC and MSNBC has embraced the approach as it attempts to vie for viewers.

I don’t know if your approach will fail or succeed for your network. For me, it failed. I don’t watch MSNBC or NBC anymore.

I don’t understand what Hillary Clinton has done to the worker’s @ MSNBC,for all of them to dislike her,all but joe dislike her why is that?

I have the solution to many question. We are not taking care of our teachers they are spending so much time with our childres and the  cheldresn are the future of this nation. I am not a teacher ust a mom who see the need of uor teachers. If we have happy teachers we will have happy students.
