Andrea Greenspan reaches a new low.

She showed up. If she shows up again tomorrow, she will set another new low.
I woke up from my daily nap and there was that hag running a puff piece on anne money's "roots".
I would rather watch one of msnbc's prison shows. Especially if andrea and her adonis like husband were "in"
it.

Andrea needs to take a vacation, she is implicated and not objective. Plus, she probably is hot for Ryan and can't think straight! Maybe they can do a threesome

They are interested in moving forward with the Koch, Bain and Rand philosophy. She is doing exactly what they want her to do, why have her take time off?

Many of us are still living in the dream that the Fairness Doctrine still exists or that the media is there to promote the public good. It is no there for that reason at all, but to promote the private good of monopolies and the most reactionary forces in society, to make them mainstream.

Most of the people they permit to talk on their airways will follow that line or else be gone. The rest are there to get liberals to believe they have a voice on the media and get them to tune in to hear the rest of it, to make it seem universally accepted until the day that it is.

I watch her show right after I've tanked up with coffee and would be better off watching Sesame Street or something

In the early 1950s, Greenspan began an association with famed novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand.[42] Greenspan was introduced to Rand by his first wife, Joan Mitchell. Rand nicknamed Greenspan "the undertaker" because of his penchant for dark clothing and reserved demeanor. Although Greenspan was initially a logical positivist,[49] he was converted to Rand's philosophy of Objectivism by her associate Nathaniel Branden. He became one of the members of Rand's inner circle, the Ayn Rand Collective, who read Atlas Shrugged while it was being written. During the 1950s and 1960s Greenspan was a proponent of Objectivism, writing articles for Objectivist newsletters and contributing several essays for Rand's 1966 book Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal including an essay supporting the gold standard.[50][51] Rand stood beside him at his 1974 swearing-in as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. Greenspan and Rand remained friends until her death in 1982.

She desperately needs a foil touchup. Not surprised Mrs Greenspan was focusing on something so vapid though.
