I think it can now be officially renamed: “Rolling Thunder and... Lightning.”

A 1962 impala no less, racing towards a one lane bridge. Sheesh!

Naw, that would have been a 1970 Torino Cobra with a 429 in my case.
Never messed up the *Big* Ford, came close, but never messed up :^)

How do you blame Andrea Mitchell for an official spokesperson telling her Palin wasn’t invited? How is that her fault? Even Conservatives4Palin admit that the guy she interviewed was authorized to speak for the group.

That’s the guy you should be blaming this time. Andrea deserves blame for lots of things, but not really this — except maybe being too excited about reporting what she was told by an official spokesperson.

[The Cajun]

I understand.

I understand.

I understand.

Sorry couldn't resist.

[eyedigress]

I was the “passenger” going into the field with pelosi eyes. My brother was a nut with that thing.

there are claims he was on stage with richard Bluemental to “Defend” him when he lied about serving in vietnam

If Mitchell only reads what the producers give her to read, then you are right. But she should no longer call herself a journalist. If she investigated this story herself then she should have done some fact checking because the story was all about how Palin was not invited. A journalist would want verification of their primary thesis. Either Mitchell is a reader who was given an agenda or she is a lazy journalist with a dislike for Palin.

[The Cajun]

Even more thrill when you have no control over the issue :^)

[unseen1]

the news media use to have two sources before going to press with something like this. NBC failed

[Bigtigermike]

You suppose to get two or three sources to confirm a story or at least seek the right sources on a subject as media use to do.....Mitchell showed her incompetence in not verifying the information with other sources that HOTAIR obviously went to to confirm and she is bias in rushing to report it

Checkmate

[The Cajun]

rushing to report it

Bet there were sparks flying from her little shoes as she ran to report it.

When Newsweak put Sarah Palin on their cover, dressed in running shorts, Angrya Mitchell was only too happy to shove it into Sarah's face. Mitchell is a bitter, leftist hag who does a great disservice to the cause of objective journalism.

I believe the 200,000 or so members who show up for the event are allowed to invite whoever they want.

Mitchell could have done her homework and found out that official spokesmen for the group does't have records of all the invitees. She could have asked Shpak such a question about that.

I think it's what a responsible reporter interested in finding the truth would do.

Those journalists who care about accuracy fact check their stories. Even an "authorized" source can be wrong, so professionals like to get independent confirmation. It's like a patient, even if the first physician is from Hopkins, getting a second opinion. A professional would have left her socialist, anti-American views at home and verified the statements before reporting. Mitchell is too sloppy and biased to behave like the ideal covered in journalistic ethics or even professionalism courses (if they even bother with that quaint concept).

I hope when the Rolling Thunder Rally is reported on there will be PHOTOS of the event........and of PALIN’s presence.

[FreeReign]

How do you blame Andrea Mitchell for an official spokesperson telling her Palin wasn’t invited?

Okay, let's roll tape with a real reporter doing the interview.

SHPAK: Palin wasn't invited.

A REAL REPORTER: Who in your organization is responsible for inviting people to the event?

SHPAK. Ah, actually any member can invite whoever they want.

A REAL REPORTER: So then how do you know that Paliin wasn't invited.

SHPAK: Um....

[Shady]

Their elitism and inside the belchway snark has put them into a very compromised position, they have to manufacture scandal to attack, scenarios that blow up in their over-pancaked faces.

[TexasCajun]

Ted Shpak whining to Mrs. Greenspan that Sarah Palin is stealing his thunder.

-Jerk-

Our veterans love Sarah Palin, this jerk was afraid Sarah would upstage him. ..pure & simple.

[Gargantua]

How do you blame Andrea? Here's how:

As a major-network "news" journalist, you never take one or two people's word for something and race to air with it. You "vet" everything six ways from Sunday so that when you finally go to air with it, you don't end up looking like an untrustworthy, salivating, agenda-driven slut.

That's how. Got it?
