Her husband is at the root of some of our current problems.

How can we expect such an insider to give us fair reporting?

2. Typical republicon homelander propagandist
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 11:55 AM by SpiralHawk
No discretion, no honor, no service to either the truth or the American people, only to her own prejudiced interests and those of her corporate overlords.

5. true
Sometimes they keep her off on "economy" days, like when Greenspan was testifying. I think I also remember her saying once that she isn't allowed to talk about the economy. Then why the heck have I seen her for the last week making crazy "ALL economists say" falsehoods? It's quite annoying.

6. Yep. Back in the day that was called conflict of interest.
At the very least, some disclaimer should be made as to whom she's married to, much like the way NBC does when a story involves GE, or CNN when it involves Time-Warner.

Really, the simplest solution is to not have her cover finance in the first place.

8. What - guilt by association? A woman is only an extension of her husband?
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 12:23 PM by kiranon
Perhaps women should not be allowed to vote (sarcasm) after all this same argument was used to prevent women from voting. Whether I care for her positions or not, she is an independent person and not an extension of her husband.

9. That's what I've been saying.
She could have a full time job reporting on her husband's giant fuck-up.

11. And looking back, why did NBC let her do reporting WHEN her hubby was head of the fed, when
they asked Maria Shriver to resign when Ahnuld became Governor?

Andrea covers "serious" issues. Maria just used to do the here and there special interest piece.

I will never understand this double-standard from NBC.
