always struck me as a hateful and dishonest person who twisted events into her own convenient facts and who lived and breathed on a deranged hatred of all things Clinton.
Everywhere in the media today people were singing her praises and commenting on her wonderfulness.
Somtimes I don't get the world and I feel like Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree.

(12,392 posts)as she detests HRC. She was all smiles talking about her stellar and down to earth performance.

(3,284 posts)She becomes almost giddy when she can report negative stuff about HRC; it's a little weird.

I don't know how she's still in such a prominent position on TV, what with her undeniable bias and all.

(59,504 posts)I suspect that what is seen as negative coverage is that Mitchell is bending backwards to be "neutral" - falling into the trap that some things really are not two sided.
Mitchell traveled with Clinton while Secretary of State and was generally positive. When HRC stepped down, Mitchell's summary of her term was very positive.

(3,335 posts)at the same time than they are wonderful. Of course the comparison of Kellyanne Conway is to Katrina Pierson who like Trump, just opens her mouth and whatever comes out, so be it. Sort of like Trump without teleprompters.

Tactical Peek
(1,210 posts)In 2012, in an interview with the Family Research Council, Conway compared Republican criticism of Todd Akin (R-MO), one of Conway's clients, to the siege in 1993 of cult leader David Koresh. An Akin representative said that Conway's comments were "stupid". Conway said she was not comparing Akin to Koresh, but instead comparing the FBI's tactics to force Koresh out with the Republican's tactics to force Akin out of the 2012 election.[5] Conway also defended Aiken's position of opposing a rape exception for a hypothetical abortion ban on grounds that womens bodies had mysterious ways of avoiding conception in cases of legitimate rape.[6]

A step in the right direction, am I right?

(5,901 posts)He's become a slobbering, interrupting idiot. His views are all over the map depending on who he's talking to. He loved Tom DeLay because he gave him a "scoop" once and that's just self-absorbed and sad. He comes from a strict Catholic, Republican-dominated, law and order family, and he can't get past it. He's now a buffoon. He has the same guests over and over and blows smoke up every ass declaring the brilliance of each. I, for one, take nothing the man says for granted. Why he still has a show is a puzzlement.

(29,205 posts)Ben Stein... maybe.
Most of the others, even the lauded pundits and operatives... not so much.
I could beat Ben on his game show "win his money"... but he beat me almost as much (I have a fairly decent high IQ, worked as Chief Scientist for NASA for 10 years, numerous patents and publications).
She can move a conversation back to her talking points fairly quickly. She is smarter than the TV personalities she is paired with (there is a reason that most of them are closer to average intelligence).
I doubt she could do well with Rachael Maddow or Keith O.
If Republicans (in general) were smart (and not evil), they wouldn't be republicans. You can't believe many of the things that rank and file republicans believe (about history or science for example) and be all that intelligent. However, like many evangelical preachers, you can lead the sheep if you can tell lies so effectively that you don't even know you are lying anymore.
I don't see her as "smart". Just evil.
SomethingNew
(279 posts)Chief Scientist on the job for ten years. Why make up a background that is so obviously false?
lapfog_1
(29,205 posts)Never said I still worked there.
SomethingNew
(279 posts)I said there has never been a Chief Scientist on the job for ten years. There were multiple Chief Scientists between 1989 and 1999.

(16 posts)I messaged Hayes after listening to him make nice-nice with Conway.I thought he was going to kiss her ring.Nothing but "good point".Nothing about her nefarious background or questions about Bannon , or any of his complimenting the confed flag after the Charleston massacre among countless white supremacy statements or even calling Bill Kristol a "renegade jew".I commented that Hayes is probably career hunting .His obsequiousness was nauseating.I am boycotting him and hope to see a trend.

nolabear
(41,984 posts)If Tweety and his ilk get to do the only interviews we'll never get beyond her steamrolling the menfolk and them going blind rather than jumping in her face.
We need Joy Reid, Rachel, and Brianna (damn, forgot her last name) from CNN, women who can't be called sexist for getting in Miss Kellyanne's face and who can do more than let her lie lie lie RW talking point talking point lie lie.

(3,284 posts)It's so BIZARRE that everyone's acting like she's the most amazing political advisor they've ever seen...WTF. I feel like I've stepped into the Twilight Zone again.
I guess the trendy new thing to do is to applaud racism and hate if it comes in a polished package.
This is, without a doubt, the most depressing election I've ever witnessed in my life. There's no escaping the propaganda of blatant and intolerant bigotry it's now being blasted out 24/7 by mainstream media.
