Andrea Mitchell's MSNBC show is pretty cringe-worthy |
|
She is pretty awkward and not good with interviews. Something about her seems off. She hesitates a lot and it seems she forgets what she's supposed to be saying mid sentence. I pretty much hate it.

1. Thankfully I don't watch TV news but this is not the first time I've heard this about |
|
Mrs. Greenspan. Has she always been this awful or is her memory fading?

3. I've always thought she was weird and awful. Dunno why she has her own show. |

2. Maybe she is preoccupied thinking about how her husband Alan Greenspan |
|
is a key architect in this historic downfall of our economy.

5. I know exactly what you mean |
|
People have posted it here and I've read it on other message boards...she drifts off in mid sentence, like she's on pain killers or is really distracted. Strange.

20. I wonder if it's the earpiece the anchors wear. It must be very |
|
distracting to have people talking in your ear and probably takes years of practice to get used to it and converse normally with the guest.
Her manner of speaking is completely different when she's anchoring and when she's just reporting. When she reports, she speaks at a normal pace and doesn't seem to hesitate or stutter.

6. She has trouble remembering how to deliver the talking points the RNC gives her |
|
That's what it always looks like to me

9. I've started threads saying the same exact thing... |
|
She is TERRIBLE in her delivery, doesn't know when to stop asking a question (the person starts answering her and she continues asking the question after pausing for a couple seconds), doesn't follow up half the time, and is just so CHOPPY! She should NOT have a show.

11. Agreed. She seems well liked by her colleagues... |
|
but she is not a good television host. Just stick to field reporting.

10. She speaks in a hesitant manner because her mind is always on her appearance. I jest not. |

She seems uncomfortable in the way people who need to fuss with make-up and hair and aren't aging well because they've always had bad skin, are.

13. Every time she talks about the economy, all I can think of is how |
|
her husband is responsible for this mess.

14. Plus, she's a hard core Conservative water carrier. |
|
I think they have her on just because she's married to Alan.

16. Maybe they are scared of Greenspan to do anything about her? |

21. I dislike her picking winners and losers as a journalist. If she wants to be a commentator fine. |
