— Ace This guy really took one for the team, here.
And if you deny it -- would you talk this long with Andrea Mitchell?
REP DUFFY: Listen, is it nonnegotiable that he's not going to enter Obamacare? I get my gold plated health care plan but I want members of Congress and rest of America to be in Obamacare, that's nonnegotiable? Come on. That's not reasonable. One issue we have, the media won't ask the question about why are you treating families different than big business. You need Jon Stewart on Comedy Central to ask Secretary Sebelius, hey, why won't you treat these two equally and she won't answer it. That's how pathetic news reporting has come when they won't ask tough questions to the administration.MITCHELL: We've asked questions of both sides. That's not fair.
DUFFY: Do you ask that question, Andrea.
MITCHELL: We have asked the question. The basic point is that --
DUFFY: Why do you want your own ... and won't join us in Obama care. That question I haven't seen anybody ask on MSNBC. They don't have a good answer for it. With regard to actually --
MITCHELL: The response Kathleen Sebelius gave to Jon Stewart, if we got what we wanted, a single payer plan, this wouldn't be the problem.
DUFFY: You say I think this is what they would say but you don't know because you haven't asked.
What a horrid woman. I'd say "witch" but witches are usually thought of as smart, or at least cunning. She is simply dumb.
I'd also say the "lights are on but no one's home" but that implies attractive, or at least superficially intelligent. She's not. She appears superficially stupid, but when you dig underneath the surface, you find she's also fundamentally stupid as well.

My only question, since I can't and won't watch the video of this vag stank whore, is this: when she refers to "we," is she saying that as Sebelius? Or as herself? Because we know they're both lying vag stank whores who would spread their legs for any commie who could recite Mao's Little Red Book from memory. I'm just wondering if Mitchell was revealing the ugly face of gubmint, or herself.

Rush played some of this earlier. I thought it was funny because he started by saying he has a ban in place regarding what gets said on that network, but was willing to make an exception for this.
His point was, essentially, why give them free advertising? It used to be fun to laugh at them, but it's gotten to the point where it's just not worth it, and I was thinking he must have been reading my mind... except he said his ban has been in place for about a year. So it pre-dates my own.
Still, it's a good point. Why bother with that network? They're paid shills, through and through. Treating them like a news gathering/reporting organization is just buying into the lie.

67 -
It started with him asking why the media, those people who LOOOOOVES them some Obamacare haven't yet signed up for it.
The dried up woman tried to throw it back at him, and ask why he hadn't, and he was simply saying "We have! Congress has been required to sign up for it," and he sent it right back to her... why isn't the media asking the question of themselves: if Obamacare is so wonderful, why aren't they getting on board with it?
Pretty simple, actually.

I have said all along that the intent was to take over the system. The strategy?
1. Obamacare to collapse the system because it will not work.
2. Go to single payer insurance, government of course.
3. At that point since the government is paying all the bills and the only insurance carrier. Everyone in the industry works for them.
4. Last step. Since they pay all the bills they will nationalize all the healthcare apparatus and set rates, wages, and "healthcare taxes".
After that last step they will have nationalized healthcare in the US, lock stock and barrel.

It was largely a matter of being in the right place at the right time. In the 1970s all the networks were trying to hire female reporters and she had been a local radio reporter in Philadelphia and later in Washington DC.
She then worked the hell out of her connections so that now she has too many high placed friends in Washington society to be fired.
I seriously doubt that anybody as ugly or as obviously mean spirited as Andrea Mitchel could be hired into her position today, but then the news business is a different animal than it was 30 or 40 years ago.

This sums up my media experience today. I actually looked for press conf by Jay Carney but guess I will catch it later on teevee.
Messaging for Democraps: A for effort
Messaging for GOP: C minus up against Dems plus referees (MSM), so not a fair game
Losers: Military, their families, Americans
Winners: unable to compute as servers down due to unexpected demands after three years of preparation for game

In Linda Ellerbee's autobiography "And So It Goes:Adventures in Television", G.P.Putnam, 1986, she makes the point that Andrea Mitchell always fucked the camera man from every story she reported. I guess that is one way that to get them to film your good side or at least to do what they can to make you look less hideous on the screen.

Let's not get crazy here.
I think I'm well acquainted with the tapping standards of the moron horde, and Andrea Mitchell falls well within the norms.
Yes, she's a stupid bitch. But to say that would stop most anyone here is just a bit of a stretch.

Well, the one sure way to avoid the tragedy of the commons is to transfer that land into the private sector where the owners of property will have a strong incentive to put that land to its best use.
The most effective way to get that land transferred into the private sector is to have a large but concentrated group benefit from that transfer. Hence my modest proposal.
Most or all land owned by the Federal Government should be handed out in 40 acre parcels as slavery reparations. Republicans should return to their 19th century roots and get behind this program. While it would not totally surprise me to see the Democrats in the Congressional Black Caucus oppose this transfer, I could easily see them facing both a primary opponent and a Republican candidate in their district who would run on the reparations issue.
Democrats then have a decision to make - do they bone their environmentalist coalition or do they bone their black coalition.
No matter which way it goes a big bunch of Democrats gets boned and if the land is actually transferred into the private sector, the price of oil and natural gas are probably headed for a significant decrease.

Many here have repeated what I've been urging, to no avail, for years: take charge, maintain the initiative in interactions with the "press", and use them to demolish the false frameworks and mock the distortion of their "coverage".
It's not hard. Sure, it's harder than ordering a latte at Starbucks, but doesn't require Gingrich-like intelligence and verbal agility. Just some reasonable knowledge and SOME verbal skills and wit.
As I've written in these sections before, I was personally in a position to explain/push this very strategy with a very senior USG official who was in the center of the hottest story on earth at the time, and who had several tactical advantages to boot in his interview with perhaps Europe's most influential print periodical. He seemed to get it - actually was taken aback and excited and a bit curious why nobody had ever coached him thusly. Then ....... nothing. He failed to challenge even a single ridiculous premise, just meekly went along for yet another predictable dreary session of absurd and tendentious "questions" followed by wimpy evasive answers.
It would take months, perhaps, before a vigorous campaign of this sort would bear much fruit in public awareness. But it would, eventually. Most important, it would work at all levels, on all issues, and - if pursued long enough - could help rescue and actually partially revive real journalism. Only intelligent, fair-minded reporters asking sensible questions and not distorting their premises or their coverage would, eventually, prosper.
OK, waking from my dream now .....

During a presser in the 1991 Gulf War, Andrea asked, "Why are we using B-52 bombers? Is it because, as everyone knows, the B-1 can't get off the ground?" The briefing officer calmly explained that the 2 bombers have different mission profiles and that mission flew within the parameters of the B-52. But he did it like he was lecturing a rather slow child.
