Andrea Mitchell are you so pathetic of a journalist, that this Rahm Emanuel story was so important to you that decided to put a so-called news report together. Did your research team quit; were you forced to downsize.
Was a Morning Joe Mandatory Obama Administration Negative Coverage Story Requested? A yesterday story, well actually an August 2009 story that you thought was worth playing out another day, and there wasn't another story out there for you to cover?
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel will meet today with Special Olympics head Tim Shriver at the White House to discuss Emanuel's acknowledged use of the word "retarded." The chief of staff invited Shriver last week -- after Shriver wrote him to complain about the remark, a slur on special needs people.
It was reported that Emanuel told a liberal strategy session last August that liberals who were planning attack ads on conservative Democrats over health care were "F...ing retarded."
Sarah Palin, mother of a Down Syndrome child, called for Emanuel's firing on Facebook yesterday writing: "Rahm's slur on all God's children with cognitive and developmental disabilities -- and the people who love them -- is unacceptable, and it's heartbreaking."

I mean seriously, this is what you deemed to be an important story. Okay I get it, this was a careless comment but a media distraction as well. I suspect that if this were a Republican we would here silence which would explain why Mr. Limbaugh wasn’t included in this journalistic masterpiece.
Andrea Mitchell Report: If you are having trouble doing real stories, how about I guide you towards stories that should be concerning to you:
• Senate Republicans Mulling A Filibuster of Jobs Bill
• McConnell Raised Big Bucks From Foreign Defense Contractor Probed For Bribery:
• New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has filed civil securities fraud charges against Bank of America and the firm's former CEO Ken Lewis
• The Wall Street Journal reports that "Republicans are stepping up their campaign to win donations from Wall Street," John Boehner (R-OH) reportedly met with J.P. Morgan James Dimon last week to try to persuade him to support his party.
• Republican’s Budget Proposal: (1) Big cuts in Social Security benefits for everyone currently under 55 years of age. (2) On top of the cuts it also calls for privatizing Social Security. (3) It calls for the full privatization and phasing out of Medicare. (4) The GOP budget doesn't get the federal budget into surplus until sometime after 2060 ---- I’m I missing something here or shouldn’t this be a big deal....
• McCain Flips Flops on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell
• Scott Brown’s Flips Flops on Healthcare (2009 Brown endorsed the Senate Healthcare Bill he has threaten to attempt to kill)
• Susan Collins unknowing of any facts (Earlier criticized the Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's Interrogation) which now proves she didn’t know what she was talking about because he has apparently being talking even after receiving his Miranda rights.
• Why Journalists continue to fail the American People: Washington Post piece. Titled "Despite his roots, Obama struggles to show he's connected to middle class (The problem with this story is that their own polling data contradict this assertion)
• Why Journalists, Newswires Organizations continue to fail the American People: Reuters Withdraws "Backdoor Taxes to Hit Middle Class Story linked by Drudge Report (why did The Newswire Reuter have to withdraw this story, because it was false. But don’t take my word here is their own statement and comments: According to a Reuter’s rep, it was withdrawn "due to significant errors of fact." "The story was wrong on multiple points and should have not gone out" A formal withdrawal went out that address specific points that were incorrect
• Why Journalists, Newswires Organizations and Financial Reporters continue to fail the American People: Erin Burnett’s January 19th Morning Joe comment to Donny Deutsh, when he Mr. Deutsh suggested that the banks give 10% of their earning to the people of Haiti: Ms. Burnett comment was "What would they do with all that money Donny" A stunning comment, but I suspect that if a Democrat had made such a disheartening comment Andrea Mitchell and Morning Joe would have ran with this story for 3 weeks and counting... (Ironically, there were some from a homeless shelter in Baltimore who donated to Haiti but what would the Haitians do with all the money from the Corporate Big Wigs....) http://ebonymompolitics.wordpress.co...
• Why Journalists, and Pundits continue to fail the American People: Since Morning Joe, Andrea Mitchell and MSNBC News like playing Fox Footage how about Sean Hannity ridiculous and factually false statement that Bush never played golf during wartime Or this beauty: Don Imus asked Chris Wallace on his Fox Business show whether Fox News contributor Sarah Palin would be sitting on Wallace's lap during an interview on Fox News Sunday this weekend. Wallace responded: "One can only hope." (Isn’t there already a lawsuit of Sexual harassment and discrimination at one of Rupert’s other organizations? And didn’t O’Reilly settle a sexual harassment lawsuit as well....)
• Which story got more of your attention: Giuliani and 911 (Why was this a one day story but Reid was a weeklong controversy)
• Shouldn't this be an important story: The White Supremacy connection of O’Keefe
• Scarborough past and present; with his history how was he able to land this job.... And if this were a Democrat would the investigation have disappeared.

You see I can help you out if you really needed direction or research team when it comes to actual reporting of the news but the truth is, if anyone wanted to know where Andrea Mitchell stood as far as Right or Left goes, this Rahm story proves where her bread is buttered and that’s right in the bed of the Republican Party. This is an August story, and Mitchell is reporting on this now, because of what reason; oh Sarah Palin posted it on Facebook... So Sarah Palin Facebook messages are now how Andrea Mitchell determines what’s important in the news... .... So if Sarah Palin doesn’t post a comment on Facebook demanding Rush Limbaugh to apologize for his continuing use of the word "retarded" you won’t bother questioning her on her double standard of whom she chooses to be offended by. Come on Andrea Mitchell don’t let us down; we want you to put your time and effort into putting a piece together on Rush and his inflammatory comments; this is important don’t you think, it has to be, all that time and research effort you put into the Rahm piece in attempt to create controversy for the Obama Administration, come on, or is this type of story only important when it involves a Democrat?
You Republicans continue prove that you are nothing more than cowards; you ask of others, things you are unwilling to do yourselves (like go to war to fight for your country) ... You don’t care that is was your party who screwed this country up, but Oh No let’s bring in a Democrat in to fix this huge mess so that we can allow our greed and selfishness to destroy it all over again......
Here is an August Story and a Rush Limbaugh Story involving the use of the same word so why was there only a Rahm Story; no need to answer, Mitchell’s only objective is clear, keep the focus on the Democrat so that American won’t realize until it’s too late that they have given control back to the same party that put us in this mess in the first place.... Let’s pretend Rush never said the word retarded and let’s pretend Rahm said retarded yesterday... But then there was Tamron Hall today, professionally pointing out the fact that these words were said by Rush Limbaugh also, and will Sarah Palin be requesting an apology from him as well; but I suspect Sarah only uses her son when she can politically target a Democrat or when she is trying to take the focus off of her PAC MONEY book purchases Controversy.....
In all honesty, I don’t understand why Andrea Mitchell’s hasn’t been cancelled; This Andrea Mitchell Report should have been cancelled right along with Dr. Nancy; at least with Dr. Nancy we slowly watched her become more fair but her show wasn’t meant for 5 days a week; but Mitchell’s show, it’s apparent that she is nothing more than a Republican Operative pretending to be a Reporter and it was no more evidence than the non-substance she bring Monday thru Friday.
• Andrea Mitchell is a failure on reporting anything of substance
• Andrea Mitchell is a failure on aggressively reporting and calling out the Republican’s lies
• Andrea Mitchell is a failure for failing to ask the Republicans to provide proof on why the American People should trust them again; what exactly have they done since being voted into office.
• Simply put Andrea Mitchell is either worthless......or she is worthless
Olbermann and Maddow research team is extraordinary but The Veteran News Journalist Andrea Mitchell’s seemed to be pretty pathetic in bringing actual substantive information; even David Shuster’s IQ level is way surpassed Mrs. Mitchell. Andrea Mitchell, make no doubt about it, her work is geared towards presenting slanted negative coverage to the Democrats and positive or free pass coverage to the Republicans. If I am wrong back it up.... All the things listed about that could be reported on by Mitchell, she hasn’t bothered and if so at what degree... Because you know this Rahm story is what Americans are losing sleep over every day.
