The title of this post comes from remarks by Lt Gen. Honore at a press conference following hurricane Rita in 2005, when he was admonishing the press work with him cooperatively to communicate accurate information to the public for a change.
It kind of sums up my view of NBC. This morning brought another example, when Andrea Mitchell was on a panel on Meet the Press spouting unfounded opinions about a vast array of issues. Here's one that really got to me.
MR. GREGORY: Just be a little bit more specific, Andrea, whether we're talking about figures like President Obama or Sarah Palin, who you spent a lot of this year covering as well, as kind of this leading edge of conservatism at the moment. What happens?
MS. MITCHELL: What I noticed when I was out covering Sarah Palin when she was out on the book tour, at 4 and 5 and 6 in the morning on freezing days, when people had been out for hours, camped out with their kids because they wanted to see her, they are so hungry for a symbol for anyone who can give them answers. And in this case, she was just signing books.
All accurate so far, and if she had stopped there, all would have been well. But she didn't.
But there's an anger out there, and I have not seen it since my very first campaign, which was 1968 and George Wallace. And that is the angry populism which is not fact-based, it's just furious at everybody; angry at Democrats, at Republicans. The tea party has higher numbers in our last NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll than either of the other traditional parties. And that is what I think this news cycle which you referred to is feeding into, and that is what does frighten me. This spirit of America is so large and embracing, but there is an angry subtext because of economic dislocation that is very, very worrisome.
Tea parties = Ku Klux Klan. Right. Stuck on stupid.

Mitchell is still CYAing and pimping for her crooked ex-FED Chair husband’s books
Haven’t read the article yet. Was searching for my Andrea slideshow and haven’t found it yet, lol.
Very attractive graphics Phil!
.
LOL!
Good pic!
Moron ambusher Andrea Mitchell looks like she is pretending she is not angry that she is being restrained from harrassing Sarah Palin
Going out a bit after 2pm here - stocking up on stuff
Stock up. A bottle of wine to relax the spirits, lol. Think the ‘spirits do the relaxing’. Snowshoes or ice skates may be needed....
Make a list, and check it twice!
Remember Mitchell and all the balloons thrown at her during the convention? She makes a good target.
Andrea actually said after interviewing Sarah right after Sarah resigned.............”Her political career is over”...............I saw it on TV...........
So,Andrea has drawn a line in the sand...and she is wrong of course, but she has to make this work and show how right she is................
It is amazing to me, that anyone would listen to any of these news people.
Who died and made them experts on anything?
Sarah has a degree in Journalism, and she doesn’t even act like these morons............
First I love Sarah’s Jacket
And Second I want to see Sarah punch that creep about 20 times................I want to see teeth on the floor............................LOL
It will never happen but I would pay, and by the way, I have given away a dozen of Sarah’s books....
I would pay to see that, Sarah would kick her ass.................Gosh I would love to see it..............
Lol, you must be a man!
Sarah is smart and beautiful and composed. She knows just how to shoot a little arrow at her detractors with a cute ‘zinger’ remark and wink of the eye.
Believe me, that can infuriate them WORSE than anything. She is classy, and resorting to violence isn't.
Great about you giving people her book!!

No ideas on an Andrea Mitchell .gif yet - but......
So,Andrea has drawn a line in the sand...and she is wrong of course, but she has to make this work and show how right she is................
Andrea (face like 40 miles of bad road) Mitchell is the one that is sooooo over.
A few observations:
1. This is proof once again that elite libs like her think the rest of America is stupid.
2. That they think that alleged american stupidity gives them the room to tell us anything they want or do anything because we are too stupid to know better.
3. They think we are too stupid to research and study the facts of an issue. How about congress studying the spending bills they are passing at break-neck speed? At least we do!
4. Libs are truly delusional. I mean seriously and frighteningly delusional.
