This network, I tell you. Yes, they have their moments of clarity; even a blond squirrel finds a nut. But to say that NBC News or MSNBC don’t have a political point of view is just ridiculous. We all know it. Well, anyone who isn’t a snowflake progressive knows this. Mick Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Budget and Management, surely knows this, with him calling out some of the questions during Sunday’s Meet the Press broadcast, where he plainly hinted at NBC’s slant on the issue. It was something that guest host Andrea Mitchell was not keen about, saying they’re not taking a point of view, merely citing nonpartisan groups. The two were discussing the Republican tax reform package, which Democrats say is a giveaway to the rich. On the allegations of sexual misconduct involving Roy Moore, the Republican Alabama Senate candidate, Mitchell asked Mulvaney if he believed the accusers. Mulvaney noted that he was the OMB director, but that he had no reason to doubt the accusers credibility. Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner had the transcription. The Media Research Center clipped the exchange.
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell Insists ‘I Have No Political Axe to Grind Here’
Mick Mulvaney: “So I laugh every time I come on networks like this, they accuse us of cutting taxes on the rich. Every time I go on different networks, and you may understand who those are, they accuse us of raising taxes on the rich. So I think it looks — depends on how you want to look at it.”Andrea Mitchell: “We’re not taking a political point of view here. We are actually going by nonpartisan groups like the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, all the impact on the exploding deficit which will impact future generations.”
[…]
Mitchell: “Do you believe that the women who’ve come out against Roy Moore are credible?”
Mulvaney: “I believe they’re credible. I don’t know who to believe. Again, I'm at the Office of Management and Budget–”
Mitchell: “You don’t believe them?”
Mulvaney: “No, I said they’re credible. I don’t know who to believe. And I do think, as the president said, that voters should decide.”
Mitchell: “If they’re credible. Why wouldn’t you believe them?”
Mulvaney: “Andrea, I run the Office of Management and Budget in Washington, D.C. You work for NBC News in Washington, D.C. My guess is we’ve not spent that much time looking at the specifics of these allegations. You’ve arrived at a certain conclusion because of a certain political persuasion. We’re simply–”
Mitchell: “Not because of a political persuasion at all. I’m -- I am simply asking whether you believe that they are credible. They have been out in public. They have spoken on the record. Some were brought; some stories were brought out by Alabama journalists in the local newspapers down there, not just by the Washington Post. And I have no political axe to grind here other than to ask you whether you believe they are credible.”
First, this is laughable. NBC, CBS, or ABC doesn’t have a political axe to grind or a certain tilt. Just be honest, folks. ABC News has a former Clinton operative, George Stephanopoulos, as one of the faces for its network. The fact is there is a bias and now we have an administration that’s calling it out. Trump supporters, even Republicans who don’t even like the man, are probably not opposed to this pushing back, even from the OMB director of all people. It’s the reason why Trump won’t stop tweeting. He sees it as a direct line of communication to his supporters who see him delivering uppercuts to the news media pervasively. After eight years of Obama, yeah—it’s time to go on offensive a bit. One last thing, it’s also nice to see other members of the GOP lobbing heavy punches back at Democrats over this tax reform push. Sen. Orrin Hatch wasn’t having any of Sen. Sherrod Brown’s (D-OH) nonsense on how this package is a giveaway to the wealthy; something that Hatch found incredibly offensive and made it known—big league.
A blond squirrel. I see what he did there.
NBC is hideous.
Administration officials really need to call them on this stuff.
“No axe to grind Andrea? You are a straight-up shill for the Democrats. You push the Liberal viewpoint on every newscast. You hate the President. Everyone knows it. Be honest for once.”
Who are the voters in Alabama going to believe? Roy Moore or Andrea Mitchell?
:)
Too bad he didn’t switch it around on her.
“Do you believe that Judge Roy Moore is credible?”
“You don’t believe him?”
“If he’s credible. Why wouldn’t you believe him?”
LIVE! From New York... It's 40+ years of progressively hideous desensitization and demoralization!

EHRLICHMAN: It’s fatal liberality.
NIXON: Huh?
EHRLICHMAN: It’s fatal liberality. And with its use on television, it has such leverage.
NIXON: You know what’s happened [in northern California]?
EHRLICHMAN: San Francisco has just gone clear over.
NIXON: But it’s not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time—it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can’t shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.
Decorators. They got to do something. But we don’t have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they’re trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.
EHRLICHMAN: Hot pants.
NIXON: Jesus Christ.

She should have been asked if she believed Juanita Broderick.
They’re credible? Why don’t they sign a sworn statement? The accusers came out of the woodwork and expect everyone to believe them willy nilly.
I personally think she may be the most dishonest reporter there is. Maybe there is one out there that no one knows who is more dishonest but I doubt it.
Two words Andrea:
DUE PROCESS
Freaking used to do the reach around with Teddy Kennedy....all the time.
He's of NO use to the GOP...but he is of use to the GOPe.
Yes!
wish he would first have answered: “Do you ?”
That would have established her bias - one way or the other.
Who has the picture of her on Hillarys campaign plane, looking lovingly at Hillary like a kid seeing the presents under the tree Christmas morning?
Remember what a strong Deficit Hawk Andrea was during the Obama administration?
And how she constantly voiced her concerns about Obama adding $9 TRILLION dollars to the national debt in only 8 years?
No one else does either.
Andrea never tires of telling stories about the nights she spent at the double feature silent films and her family’s Model T.
A fifth-column media lying leftist slut.
Bill Clinton said “I did not have sex with that women” (referring to Monica Lewinsky. Quite a few people thought his comment was credible. Do you still believe him?

Showing my ignorance. What is a snowflake?
