This week’s Mainstream Media Scream features NBC’s Andrea Mitchell gleefully asking Hillary Clinton how great it is to be back on the campaign trail.
On Monday’s Today show, Mitchell was reporting Clinton’s Sunday appearance at a steak fry in Indianola, Iowa:
Mitchell: “Clinton knows coming here will make it harder to turn back. [To Hillary Clinton] Does it feel great to be back out here?”
Clinton: “It’s great. It was a great day. Couldn’t have been better.”
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our pick: “Mitchell is a leading cheerleader for Hillary amongst the press corps. Her giddy enthusiasm illustrates the former first lady’s core base: female journalists who channel their aspirations through her.”
Rating: Four out of five screams.
