...Andrea Mitchell, who (by her own admission) sat up all night reading old Sunday bulletins from Barack Obama's UCC church in Chicago. Let's see what she learned.
The irrepressible Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. is at it again, this time taking aim at Italians -- expounding a two millenium grudge against the sons and daughters of Rome -- and their (allegedly) breath-altering prediliction for scampi and pesto.
So instead of talking about Obama's major address on the economy, the news on MSNBC led with the question: "Has Obama done it again?" and screamed prejudice against Italians (albeit 2000 year old Italians).
What sparked this "discovery" and the "all nighter by Mitchell? A sermon about attitudes toward Romans in Bibical times is the alleged source. But there's a deeper explanation.
I'm always surprised at how low the standards are in journalism these days. "Investigative Journalism" seems to have gone the way of the sabre toothed tiger. But yesterday's news seemed to prove that new lows are always just around the corner.
On Morning Joe Andrea Mitchell admitted that she stayed up all night reading old church bulletins from Barack Obama's church. Now, of course, she didn't spend any time investigating Hillary Clinton's right wing prayer group...
Mitchell has been grasping at straws to find a story to distract MSM from the real story. Here's what she found:
The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."
Mitchell has, to be fair, continued to act as if she were actually investigating the real story: Clinton's lies about Bosnia, invented by her staff to justify her claim of "experience under crisis."
Andrea Mitchell of NBC News asked Wolfson to explain the discrepancy between Clinton's recollections of her Bosnia visit and the video clips and photographs showing no sniper fire, no running and no apparent tension (though some news stories from the time mentioned security precautions taken). Wolfson, after blaming the Obama campaign for hyping the controversy, finally allowed that "it is possible in the most recent instance in which she discussed this that she misspoke in regard to the exit from the plane.
But the real story is about Mitchell. She was on the plane...She has known for weeks that Clinton was lying...and she never reported it.
Why? Because she risks losing her precious access to the White House and her reputation as "pundit" if she crosses the Clintons?
What's your take on this?
