Andrea Mitchell's floating of the Obama-camp accusation that John McCain cheated by overhearing Obama's responses at the Saddleback forum, as NewsBuster D.S. Hube reported, isn't the first time the NBC correspondent has made herself the propagator-in-chief of Obama's conspiracy theories. As NewsBuster Noel Sheppard has noted, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis has now written NBC to protest Mitchell's behavior. Here's an excerpt from his letter to NBC News president Steve Capus [emphasis added]:
"[I]nstead of taking a critical journalistic approach to this spin, Andrea Mitchell did what has become a pattern for her of simply repeating Obama campaign talking points."
In asserting a "pattern" of such behavior by Mitchell, what did Davis have in mind? Almost surely it included a very similar stunt that Mitchell pulled in connection with Obama's cancellation of his planned visit to injured troops while in Germany for his speech in Berlin. As I noted here at the time, Mitchell passed along the Obama camp's unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that McCain had pulled strings with his Pentagon buddies to have them withdraw permission for the visit.

Andrea Mitchell, aka Mrs. Alan Greenspan, should be fired.
The fact that anyone watching that crap called the NBC Nightly News in the first place is amazing.
...She really should be fired!
BUMP! BUMP! Thanks. BUMP!
The old grey mare she ain’t what she used to be...
Should we expect anything else from DNBC??
Pray for W and Our Troops
She’s starting to look like her husband!
I can't figure out if she is a pimp or his whore, but I'm sure that SHE IS UGLY.
If I heard right, Doucey on Fox&Friends implied that Team McCain are now backing away from the ‘McCain was traveling’ spin while Obama was being interviewed.
Apparently, McCain was in a ‘sitting room’ while part of Obama’s questioning was going on.
I’m more than willing to write a protest letter but where do I contact them at?
Glad McCain is going after NBC for this - wonder if Andrea even realizes how deep is her bias.
The newest arrow in their quiver is that Mc made up the story of the cross.
WRITE MEET THE PRESS:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6872152/
Demand that Andrea Mitchell or any other partisan not be allowed to host Meet the Press again otherwise you will stop tuning in.
...what all y’all said...she ugly too
You people have no sense of humor!
too early in the week and the morning for those optics.
This woman is starting to look like a camel.
Thanks, e-mail was just sent.
It’s very obvious who the Obambi spinmeisters go to in order to help them get their word out, just about everyone at nbc and msnbc. I’m sure Andrea gets the same briefing/spin that Matthews, Olberman, Shuster and Gregory get.
It doesn’t matter. McCain answered questions that only he
was asked (because Obama was so long-winded) and there was
no change in his performance and no surprise from him.
ping!
It doesn’t matter if McCain was in a “cone of silence” or not, I am sure he would Never Cheat, on anyone or in any way. He is a former naval officer and an honorable man. That’s the kind of man we need in the White House.
