TPM: Phantom Polling from NBC's Andrea Mitchell

[libssuc]

Gallup Poll. July 10-13, 2008. N=1,016 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3. 

"Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?" Approve Disapprove Unsure 14 75 10

Good upload. =) Ever wondered what it looks like underneath a speeding train? train.lostfrog . com is pretty sweet.

[marinela2you]

people need to upload more clips like this. I prefer funnier stuff myself, check out dolphinhump. lostfrog . com , I laughed so hard I got kicked out of class! haha.

Andrea Mitchell is a hack. This has been going on ever since she became a talking head, instead of a reporter.

[pipermen22]

I take a lot of issue with Andrea Mitchell. I've notice this stuff before.

[J1Goro]

Pelosi isn't a member of the party? I'm afraid she is. We have one party here. You're a clown.

[socaljet]

The new Gallup poll finds that Congress' approval rating is 28%, down nine points from Gallup polls in January and February.

Did we forget to find this one?

[chervilant]

Andrea Mitchell IS married to Greenspan, but her political stance precedes her alliance with him. Has anyone noticed how strange she looks now? Is she one of those sad examples of too much plastic surgery? I know that's not as relevant as her intellectual deceit, but it's a form of deceit nevertheless. Please, keep these excellent videos coming!!

[numex7]

good catch.........isnt she married to Alan Greenspan? which might explain her decidely GOP bias

[poodle55]

Thanks for catching that and I hope you catch more. Good job.

[RelativelyPeeking]

This is just like when she told Imus - everyone knew Plame worked for the CIA and that she was not covert. Thanks for catching this! She always gets away with her partisanship and hack reporting while still being labeled a "journalist". She would never have gotten away with this 30 years ago. My how things have changed.

[FattKidd]

I think it's a CRIME that this lying gasbag is allowed on the air. Almost as big of a crime as the news shows having neo-cons or other rightwinger so called 'experts' on to discuss foreign and/or domestic policy! THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING and they're still allowed on these talk/news shows!!?? WTF!!??

[fishbones72]

Sorry Josh, Andrea Mitchell doesn't have time to do verification of her data. She goes with her gut and her gut tells her that George Bush is a very popular president and the American people want to drink beers with him.

[DuFonz]

Question: Is it morally and ethically worse to lie to millions of Americans about high ranking elected officials for reasons of personal political bias, or is it worse to use profane language about someone peddles those lies? The following exemplifies the lesser of those two evils:

Fuck you Andrea Mitchell, you lying, decietful Hack!!! Fuck you. <url link to TPM video on YouTube>

Somebody get that useless hack off the air.

Sincerely,

Joey

Misleading a nation is far worse.

[Chandlerbin2006]

Shake up the political establishment. Restore the constitution, repair foreign policy and bring back monetary sanity. Ron Paul for president spread the word. Go to ronpaul2008,com our liberties are in the balance. This is not part of the official campaign; I'm just a concerned citizen.

Thanks.

[ohfan4uk]

Good job man. That is the perfect example of the myth that there is only left wing media.

[lovuian]

You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

Andrea Mitchell is a LIAR and propoganda tool of New World Order glad Greenspan is out

they are wrinkled and Ancient

[bigjaytexas]

another republican lying talking head,surprise surprise.

[soniatx]

Andrea Mitchell is highly creative liar, is what I think.

[dafttool]

Good job keeping them "honest."

[mhaggs]

While I agree it's good pointing these things out, clearly it's not keeping her "honest" because she continues to spout this garbage. What to do?

[dafttool]

That's why I put honest in quotation marks. --I'm not sure if these posts affect their targets, but they do at least raise the conscience of the people who get to view it.

[mhaggs]

Agreed! I know I appreciate the posts about this!

[walkingshark]

Try and culturally import the ancient Japanese practice of Seppuku?

[mhaggs]

unfortunately I don't think right wing apologists have any shame.

[walkingshark]

Hmm. How about we americanize the practice... we could call it "non-elective seppuku?"

[oldhacks]

I guess thats why Bill Oreally said he checked her out and she was OK.

[BobbyinNashville]

She's a mouth piece, not a reporter. I doubt she even eats real food, just the blood of the innocent.

[desspec]

"Highly Creative" - why are we afraid of calling lies lies? "Factually Inaccurate," "I misspoke," etc etc.. No, you lied.

[pat637]

It's because Polls are not an integral representative of the whole nation. The sampling is very random, and media biased - internet, tv, phone calls.

[walkingshark]

Actually, polls are pretty reasonably accurate. The science is in on this one.

[BluerOcean]

Andrea Mitchell will say whatever is favorable to keep her table warm at high society (Repub) restaurants.

No suprise there if anyone's been paying attention since George Bush took over.
