The Blame Game

NBC Nightly News’ Andrea Mitchell has a thing about the CIA and Director George J. Tenet. We have previously reported that her coverage of Tenet’s appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee in early March represented some of the most distorted, dishonest reporting we had seen in some time. She was at it again in her March 24th coverage of Tenet’s appearance before the National 9/11 commission.

No that is Filthy McNasty's...you dyslexic clown, you:)

Mitchell keeps serving up distorted, biased reporting intended primarily to discredit the Bush administration and excuse the failures of Bill Clinton.

Yep! Mitchell envies Monica.

I think the only way to deal with this kind of selective editing is to provide pool feeds to the networks and embed in the feed a digital clock in the corner of the frame. That way the attempt to remove context from the speaker's remarks will be transparent. Andrea Mitchell and her variant of journalist can snip sound bites all day, but their game will be exposed on the screen.

Great tagline...

Welcome to FR -- good post!

I will endeavor to improve it!

Pardon me? I don't know a Filthy McNasty. I've always been known by the name that Mr. & Mrs. McPhilthy gave me at birth.

[international american]

It is the name of a famous restaurant in California:)

[Nasty McPhilthy]

Don’t know what your motives for pursuing the attack on a user name. What gives? Am I the only one you go to these lengths to annoy?

If you come here to defend the Right, that’s great.
If you come here to defend the Left, then go screw yourself.

But, if you come here just to show everyone how obnoxious you can be…..job well done!

[international american]

I just thought it was funny how your name was so similar to the name of a restaurant here. I meant absolutely no offence to you or your tagline. As for politics, I come here defend the right. My apologies anyway!

[international american]

I just went back and checked my post#2 and I can see how you would be upset. I had assumed you had heard of the restaurant, which was dumb on my part.

[Bigg Red]

I will endeavor to improve it!

And so you did!

Wow! It's a shame the poster McNasty got so cranky with you.

"Yep! Mitchell envies Monica."

Was it Andrea Mitchell who said she herself would happily service Bubba Toon a'la Monica Lewinsky as long as he kept his promise to keep abortion legal? I'm sure it was a journalist who said that. I just can't remember who it was, though.

[Bigg Red]

It wasn't Mitchell. The journalist who said that was, I think, with NYT. Can't remember the name. The name Nina Burleigh keeps coming up in my brain, but I don't think that's it.

[international american]

I wasn't on my best moment, either:)

[Nasty McPhilthy]

Whew! I sure am glad we got that cleared up. How's the food there at Filthy's?

Being from the coast of NC, I've never heard of them. With a name like Nasty McFilthy's, it's got to be good. (sort of like Smukers jellies & jams?)

Look, I'm sorry if I over reacted. I've had my medication, and I'm all better now.

[international american]

Food is great!
