Crooks and Liars: Let’s ask Andrea

Crooks and Liars

McCain’s Media was out yesterday. Andrea Mitchell actually told MSNBC viewers that Barack Obama gave “fake interviews” because he didn’t cater to her and the traveling road show during his Iraq/Afghan visit. I understand the need to get footage of Obama is her job, but to say they were phony was like saying his trip was like those fake news reports the administration sold to local networks that were presented as real new stories. I wondered if John McCain handled any of his overseas trips in the same way and guess what?

(via email) From an AP article during McCain’s March trip:

McCain’s visit was not announced and he was believed to have been in the country for several hours before reporters were able to confirm his arrival. It was unclear who he met with and no media opportunities or news conferences were planned.

Let’s Ask Andrea a question. Why wasn’t John McCain attacked for giving “fake interviews” during this trip up until he held a presser in Jordan?

1. The McCain campaign deserves her.

She is a spoiled brat. Didn't get to be 1st chair and now she will smear those who shut her out.


Kind of childish for such an old woman.

She's just another clown in the sideshow that Matthews talks about.
Course, he's the ringmaster.

4. As one member of the panel on Road To the White House said

(paraphrasing) "I hate to break it to my media friends, but it's not all about them. "

6. Maybe is she wasn't such a pathetic, obviously biased Republican

ass she might get more air time.

Andrea Mitchell should just cover McCain and get all the exclusives she wants and she can modify McCain's statements to make him look coherent.
