Note to Andrea Mitchell: 18% does not equal Most Americans

[Quixote1818]

I usually like Andrea Mitchell but what she said here really pisses me off. How could she mistake 18% for a majority???

hardball-andreamitchell.jpg On Monday's Hardball, Andrea Mitchell said this about how the Bush administration may handle any forthcoming subpoenas in the wake of the the Libby verdict:

"They're going to try to really tamp this down and appeal to the polling which indicates that most people think, in fact, that he should be pardoned. Scooter Libby should be pardoned."

In "fact," huh? Theres one slight problem; only a whopping 18% of Americans support a Libby Pardon. (CNN Poll .pdf)

12. Andrea Mitchell has a little Republican in her.

She sleeps with the opposition.

another Republican Jew. ( I'm Jewish )

2. I'll do it in the morning

I am sick of this spin

[tiptoe]

18. "Spin" is spin for propaganda

"Freedom of speech is a PRIVILEGE..."

Corporate media-whore Couric vomited those words on her first CBS evening news show. Despite the best efforts of facade groomers at now-corrupt CBS and CNN ("The Most Busted Name in News"), the make-up and stylish coiffures aren't powerful enough medium to mask or massage-away the stench of the messages fed them by their ogreish producers' garbage hearts and minds.

Andrea Mitchell seems of the same "professional ill-k" as her kolleague, katie.

3. What she meant...

Most people in the White House.

[stillcool]

4. She must have meant "her people"...

those 2%'ers I hear so much about.

[Halliburton]

5. shouldn't we be sending this to msnbc?

[Quixote1818]

11. Yes! I saw CNN at the bottom of the story and thought it was CNN

Thanks for pointing that out! I made the change just in time.

7. She probably knows that she should be going with him.

8. Two things totally unrelated but I am not going to start a

thread that may or may not be moved to the lounge.... first, anyone think that if they make a movie about the life of Bob Dylan, (please don't yell if they already have) that seeing Adam Sandler with a beard, he would be a shoe in... and second, if they make a movie about dumbya, they could call it "Slaughtergate" in memory of Watergate..... and the third thing I didn't think of at the beginning, Andrea Mitchell needs to get a clue.

[snappyturtle]

9. K&R Thank you......we heard that ridiculous remark too....

it gets me that no one ever stops her mouth. If I'm home alone and she comes on TV I switch channels or I mute her..............it makes me feel powerful....isn't that petty but I love switching her off.

10. Do you need any knee pads Mitchel l ?

[senseandsensibility]

Disgusting.

14. Please write MSNBC at links above!

Andrea needs to hear about this and MSNBC needs to make a public correction!

15. Sent off an e-mail after Hardball.

Andrea Mitchell, Hardball just now:

They're going to try to really tamp this down and appeal to the polling which indicates that most people think, in fact, that he should be pardoned. Scooter Libby should be pardoned.

CNN poll says 18% support pardon.

Is this a new brand of "truthiness"? 18% support a pardon. That's it. That's reality.
I guess "middle America" gets it. A crime was committed. No more passes, Andrea. Good luck with that "tamp this down" strategy. BWAHAHAHAHA. Pathetic.

16. I absolutely must know..

how do you do the not equals sign? It's, um, not on my keyboard. :blush: and I would find it very useful. :D

[Quixote1818]

17. It was a cut and paste

I actually had to edit the title because it did something weird when I posted it. Maybe you can copy it and keep it saved in word for when you need it?

[crispini]

19. Haha, okay. I was just wondering if there was a magic key.

Inquiring minds want to know! :D

20. In word,

go to the insert, symbol menu. It's there, I think under mathematical operators. You can also type 2260, alt + x.
