He is the former President not Mr President.
Eff off with the licky licky questions and deference to this criminal lowlife.
Saying you wouldnt be there without Andrea Mitchell is all I need to know.
Of course you both think interviewing this monster for your first show is a big deal.
Spare me please - he should be a pariah.

(79,156 posts)I agree. The only interviews I'd be interested in would be Jack doing cross-examination, or H2O Man interviewing him for DU.

(17,869 posts)Why they wont put someone in like Nicole Wallace who will push back is beyond me.
SheilaAnn
(10,751 posts)this, but just like they lost viewers with Chuck Todd, if she doesnt push back they will lose even more viewers-I hope.

(17,869 posts)the Whitehouse correspondent for NBC the last few years as well as one of the hosts on Saturday Today show. I believe she was one of the moderators during the last presidential election and at that time she did push back on tfg. That seems to have gone by the wayside the last couple years. Now she just goes after Biden.

(37,092 posts)from olbermann podcast "GOP DEBATE 1: TRUMP IS ROMPING BECAUSE DeSANTIS IS A HOLOGRAM - 8.24.23
And maybe bigger than all, there is a scandal involving ABC News, CBS, CNN, NBC, The Washington Post, the New York Times, and other news outlets and I doubt anybody will notice but it drove me to distraction. Why, the night before the debate, did a dozen of the leading political reporters and editors think it was cool to have a meal with Jason Miller and two other thugs from the Trump Campaign and let them get schmoozed by them and let Miller try out his latest attacks on DeSantis? The Trump people want to dismember the press and maybe individual reporters. With the BEST of politicians you must keep yourself at arm's length - and these are the worst of them. They (and they include Dana Bash, Robert Costa, and Kristen Welker) should all be fired.

(25 posts)I WAS always a fan of Kristen Welker but after this interview with the indicted guy, I'm done. She could've picked a better person to interview. But then I gave up on MTP after my dearly beloved Tim Russet died suddenly. I still miss my fellow Irishman.

(55,517 posts)I thought she was none too qualified from her days in Philly. Now she's buffed the rough edges and masquerades better, but still the same core.

for all the women who came after her.
That is just a historical fact. It doesnt mean they have each created a shrine and pray to her icon.
gordianot
(15,780 posts)Then Hilary dissed her by not giving Andrea any attention. You could tell by facial expressions both were not happy for the mutual company.

journalism. Every woman who gets promoted or hired at NBC gives her a shout-out for being welcoming to them. Even Rachel Maddow. Its what well-mannered people do when they share a workplace.
Hillary Clinton is a politician, and has never been a broadcast journalist anywhere, much less in the same shop as Andrea Mitchell. Andrea has a long history of being a pill to the Clintons just as she is doing now with Joe Biden. Enough about Bidens successes in the economy weve done that for 30 whole seconds. How about Hunters heinous crimes? The remote control is my friend.
