Andrea Mitchell: What a hack!

Prime example of how there is little true journalism. She was "reporting" how democrats like Barnie Frank (Hillary booster) are "Mad" & "Upset" that Bernie is "trashing" Obama legacy, and they tried to do everything they could (financial reform, etc) but there were no votes, and republicans were not playing "ball". Just ridicolous.

1) Obama "legacy" is pure Clinton campaign talking point. How she can repeat that from Clinton supporter without any challenge is crazy

2) No pushback on possible reasons why they could also be upset at Sanders. If she was a real journalist, she would know why Barnie is upset. He, along with Hillary are basically in the pocket book of Wallstreet (strangely both Clinton/Frank have benefited personally). Maybe they are upset because Sanders is calling out their corruption? Could that be a possibility? Why is this not mention in the main street media?

This election isn't about Obama. It's got nothing to do with bashing him. Bernie isn't doing much of that. Bernie is talking about what he wants to do. It's just more BS from the Clinton campaign trying to turn support away from Bernie because she's tied herself to Obama's coattails - in part because she lacked the imagination to do anything else.

It's about where do we go from here?

People still want change. Obama with the obstruction couldn't get as much change done as we hoped.

Now we chose: Hillary's "No, we can't NEVER, EVER" status quo "I'll be safer" or what Bernie is offering. I think more people want what Bernie is selling - real change. Hillary is selling fear if we pick Bernie. Bernie is selling hope if we pick Bernie. etc I love Obama but he's history.

a fine thing it is. One of those rare times when the film matches the quality of the novel it's based on.

And I love the Chief.

She didn't look too good - way thin and haggard.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1106624

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Because she is a woman let's judge her by appearance, that's not sexist or anything. Can we cut the blatant sexism from the Bernie supporters please?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jan 31, 2016, 09:00 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Sexist crap like this belongs at Free Republic, Stormfront, or a Trump Rally.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Do you think only women can look haggard and thin? Now, that's sexist. Nothing wrong with this post.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "thin and haggard" sound suggests that she appears to be unwell, not undesirable. One could use the same phrase to describe a man just as easily.

Can we cut the blatant anti-Bernie alert trolling please?
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Unbelievable - Andrea Mitchell is a respected journalist, she doesn't need to be attacked like this just because the poster didn't like what she looks like. Stuff like this should not be allowed on DU (BTW, she is professionally known as ANDREA MITCHELL, not the wife of "Mr. G."!!!! Doubly insulting.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
