Andrea Mitchell: Hillary Friend Blair's Memoirs 'Taken Out of Context'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/11/2014 5:29:57 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

It remains to be seen what damage if any the papers of Hillary's close friend Diane Blair will do to Clinton's presumed presidential candidacy. But Andrea Mitchell made one thing clear this morning: if there is anything there [or anywhere else for that matter] that is potentially harmful to Hillary, Mitchell and her MSM cohorts are ready to ride to Clinton's defense.

On today's Morning Joe, Mitchell trotted out the hoary "taken out of context" chestnut in response to revelations in the Blair papers, such as that Bill Clinton's campaign advisors viewed Hillary as "ruthless." Mitchell also promoted Hillary's excuse that the Lewinsky affair was due to the "stress" that Bill was under. Right.

Andrea buys into Hillary’s excuse that Monica was due to “stress” Bill was under. Ping to Today show list.

Oh don’t worry, Andrea, The Five was very busily putting a positive spin on this story.

Everyone else is so infatuated with this beast, they’ll spin it in their own minds with no help from Fox

The devil is called the “great deceiver” for a reason.

Everyone knows Andrea Mitchell is a partisan hack. She calls David Axelrod “Axe” and has long been a Hillary worshiper. Nothing new here, including her ongoing deceit in presenting herself as a impartial “journalist”.

Andrea Mitchell does not have the wherewithal to produce an independent thought. She presents whatever was the ambient theme of conversation at last night’s Georgetown cocktail party as if her deep insight produced it. Then, she goes back the next night and says “Did you see what I did?”, expectantly seeking approval.

Andrea, be careful where you point that thing you could put someone’s eye out.

Andrea, do you ever get the urge to charge a jeep?

Andrea, make yourself useful and find me some truffles.

Andrea is probably correct. They only reported the good stuff out of those files so nobody would find out about the REALLY bad stuff.

I never watch The Five but couldn’t sleep last night and it was on. They were spinning like crazy on everything Obama and DemocRAT. I had to turn that crap off. It was disgraceful. They are big admirers of homosexuals.

The whole operation at NBC needs to be uprooted and started over. I read an article over the weekend written by the AP (Administration’s Press) about the problems at MSNBC and how they are now concerned about the tone and how that bleeds over to NBC News. So much so they’ve tried to seperate the two by removing “straight” news content from the MSNBC website and starting and NBC News website. The big problem they have is they still have their “reporters” who cover congress like Andrea Mitchell Greenspan with an opinion show and Chuck You Todd who is the Washington Bureau Chief for NBC spewing the Liberal Talking points daily and then go back to what they think is reporting news objectively.

Sorry NBC big dogs, but they DO NOT report the news fairly. Rule number one for any network who has a setup like MSNBC where they have network and cable channel reporting news is not to cross contaminate the content. Same would apply to Fox if they got into the network news business. That’s if you want to maintain any sort of credibility in being objective. Which is a laughable thing I just typed.

Chuck You Todd who is the Washington Bureau Chief for NBC

Chuck Todd is the former staff member of Sen. Tom Harkin. No bias there. And don't get me started on Bob Costas.

IMO, there is no difference between MSNBC and NBC, none.

The real dirt is in the part that has not been released. Hillarys own fingerprints into some of the most brutal actions during the Clinton march.
