Fuck off, Andrea Mitchell.

Watching her on Brian Williams & she's talking about the Clinton campaign, (of course) "They are so dangerously close to being overconfident..."

What the fuckity fuck fuck fuck does that even mean? At least they sort of criticized Disgusting Donald for his heinous performance at the Al Smith dinner, but even then Costa from the NYT said that Trump was "anti-establishment," Seriously? No, he's just a boorish asshole. I'm glad that the crown roundly booed him.

The whole over confidence schtick is
Fucking tiresome
The Clinton campaign has been tightly focused and working non stop for months, they're allowed to be happy when things go right.
If you hit s home run and win a game during the playoffs, you're fucking allowed to crack a smile
It's good for morale

During that time, the legion of doom has been feeding lazily off the corpse of desperate media and calling that a campaign

Mitchell sicophant clapping seal routine for Trump is pissing me off; you're candidate is a human dumpter fire, deal with it an F off

Why is Mitchell even relevant anymore. She offers nothing. Absolute loathsome washed-up has-been disgrace to journalism.

She should be fired.
Go Home Andrea Mitchell

My 22 year old co-worker cane over to me today and said she watched the debate. "You're right, he really is an asshole!"

After the third or fourth question she tried to get another question in. You could see a quick glance from Hillary while she chose another reporter. There appeared to be a simultaneous flash of almost disdain flashed at Andrea as Hillary was passed over. No love lost there.

...HRC said, "Hi Andrea" and kept right on walking, leaving the reporter-turned-hack stewing in her own juices.

I can't remember what obnoxious thing Andrea did that got on HRC's last nerve, but I swear I heard the twang. After that, she started being ever so politely treated as just one of the gaggle.

Andrea Mitchell has had a long career, and she was one of the pioneer female TV broadcast journalists. Remember that when she gets eulogized at her retirement party, because that much is true.

But sometime in the last many years she changed, and imho seldom rises above hack status anymore. Time to retire.

He has good access to trump but I think he knows trumpo watches his TV appearances and tries to not slam him too bad when he's live to keep his access but does give you the temp of Trump and if you read between the lines you get a good shot of whats in the guys head.

Mitchell, Todd, etc. They hardly even bother to hide their bias. Their lack of objectivity would not be bothersome if they labeled themselves what they are: "and now we hear from Republican commentator Andrea Mitchell/Chuck Todd," or whoever.
