Andrea Mitchell on Trump WH: "I have never seen anything like this where people just flat-out lie"

[riversedge]

She sure is spot on about this one!! That said, I am no fan of Andrea-and really do not feel sorry for her. At every opportunity, she seemed to bash our Dem. nominee during the GE.

THE GLOBAL POLITICO
‘People Just Flat-Out Lie’

Andrea Mitchell’s covered seven White Houses. Then came Trump. ‘I’ve never seen anything like this,’ she tells The Global Politico.

By Susan B. Glasser

April 10, 2017




President Donald Trump called her “Hillary Clinton’s P.R. person” when she got a scoop he didn’t like last week.

Controversial Fox News host Bill O’Reilly called her “unruly” when she shouted questions at Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Well, it turns out Andrea Mitchell, NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent and host of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports,” has some words for them, too. In a new interview for The Global Politico, our weekly podcast on world affairs in the Trump era, Mitchell says that after covering every president since Jimmy Carter, Trump is by far the most hostile to the press—and to the truth—she’s ever seen, with a White House staff using the briefing room as a daily disinformation machine and a president and secretary of state outright undermining the ability of reporters to do their job.

“It is totally sui generis. I’ve never seen anything like this,” Mitchell says. “I have never seen anything like this where people just flat-out lie. You know, black is white and white is black, and they mislead you. It's really disconcerting to see the podium in the White House briefing room being used to mislead or misdirect or obfuscate.”.................

1. "black is white and white is black" is right.

[pangaia]

2. She, like almost all the others, is just a hired mouth.

[elleng]

14. She is a journalist.

[pangaia]

16. We will just have to disagree on that.

[Me.]

3. It's The Old...You Lie Down With Dogs.... Andrea

You, Ruth Marcus & Cillizza couldn't stop sticking the knives into HRC & PBO. You were overjoyed by Benghazi & Email issues and pounded them every day. You could've had a decent, well run WH and press room but you got what you got because you enabled a mad man in the highest office in the land. Shame on you but just desserts too.

"You, Ruth Marcus & Cillizza couldn't stop sticking the knives into HRC & PBO. You were overjoyed by Benghazi & Email issues and pounded them every day.

I could only stomach so much of MSNBCRNC even when Hillary was doing well, say like after her debates but the times I could stomach it, your assessment is spot on of Mrs. Greenspan, Cillizza and Marcus. They all KEPT the long knives out for Hillary when I watched so like you, I have NO sympathies for Mrs. Greenspan being slighted in the LEAST, or when she was herded out of the room like a Yak by those tRumputin lackeys when she was trying to ask a question of the Secretary of Secrecy.

In this lyric from the song "Round-n-Round" by Hair Metal group RATT from 1984:

"What goes around comes around, I'll tell you why."



Where's Mr. Krabs and his small violin ....

[Me.]

34. "or when she was herded out of the room like a Yak"

Love that, so visually perfect.

[blue neen]

4. So, Andrea Mitchell is having a tough time covering Rex Tillerson.

Maybe Tillerson wouldn't be Sec. of State if Andrea and her press colleagues had asked the Trump campaign the looming questions about Russia. Maybe Sean Spicer wouldn't be telling lies in the briefing room everyday if Andrea and Co. hadn't spent an entire campaign season fixated on HILLARY'S E-MAILS.

Cry me a river, Andrea. It's not your fault Trump won, but you sure as hell didn't help by ignoring the news about Russian interference during the 2016 campaign.

Now we all suffer.

5. BULLSHIT, Laos, Cambodia, Iran-Contra, WMD, lying is the modus operandi of the Republican Party.

I've been seeing it all my long life.

[FakeNoose]

7. Thanks

...for telling it like IT IS !

Republicans have been evil for longer than Andrea has been around.

[Grassy Knoll]

15. Too You..

...

[Cha]

6. Yeah, they LIE MORE.. but pretty sure you've

done some lying yourself, AM

[sheshe2]

10. F**K Andrea.

She enabled him and then tried to normalize him.



Hey Cha~

[OnDoutside]

29. +1 She sowed, she reaped.

[Buzz cook]

8. She must have slept through Nixon, Reagan, BushI, and BushII.

Certainly Trump is a liar, but after all he is a republican. His lies are just more obvious.

[Golden Raisin]

9. Andrea Mitchell and her husband can both go to Hell.

[eleny]

11. Time to retire since she doesn't remember Nixon, Reagan, the Bushies and even Bill C.

I hate the current administration. But, really, Andrea needs to hang it up and give up her hour to Joy Ann.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. no words....

[cstanleytech]

13. Ya Rice and Obama need to sue Trump for libel thats for sure but Obama probably wont

as most Presidents give current ones a wide berth Rice however should sue his ass off and take him for a few hundred million.

[Grassy Knoll]

17. My, What Big Blinders You Have...

[wildeyed]

18. Well you enabled them for so long,

they think they can get away with it. Why would they NOT lie. It's been effective.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

19. Is Sui Generis related to Ellen Degeneres?

[Doitnow]

20. As always, like most all the talking heads on TV, Andrea, You're Too Late. Again.

[NurseJackie]

22. Look who's talking.

[SunSeeker]

23. They were like this from day 1 of the campaign, Andrea.

This is nothing new for that crowd. If you weren't so busy chasing right wing memes about Hillary's emails, maybe you could have announced this fact sooner, i.e. BEFORE the election. That would have been a lot more helpful.

[progree]

24. I cant believe a leopard is eating my face! sobs woman who voted for Leopards Eating People Party

Trump and his surrogates told breath-taking, jaw-dropping bald-faced lies every day of the campaign, so what did you expect?

(message title borrowed from Kpete http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028769606 )

[TeamPooka]

25. Interesting how she said it, but not her own TV show. When she starts saying it on MSNBC

call me.

[Volaris]

26. Oh bullshit Andrea.

Thats like saying you need to get a third degree sunburn before you realize it's a sunny fucking day outside.

Maybe it's just me but I can't stand her.

[democratisphere]

27. They flat-out lie............. about everything!

[Kablooie]

28. Just classic old school dictatorship 101. That's how it starts.

[WinkyDink]

30. I'm trying to be glad she's saying it now. Can't change the past.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

31. The lies are bad enough that even Andrea Mitchell can recognize them, eh?

It's nice to know that her brain can detect lies at some point.

[no_hypocrisy]

32. Then again, Andrea Mitchell didn't have the have the "benefit" of knowing her

husband's mentor, Ayn Rand. She lied a lot too.

[tavernier]

33. Uh oh... Someone wasn't invited to Mara Lago.

I bet HRC is getting plenty of giggles from Mrs. Greenspan's righteous outrage.
