This week’s Mainstream Media Scream features legendary NBC News reporter Andrea Mitchell praising a campaign Hillary Rodham Clinton rally as “extraordinary” and “magical.”
Live on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show from a Clinton rally in Manchester N.H. Sunday night, she said:
“It’s been extraordinary, I got to tell you Rachel. First of all, she did not mention the e-mail controversy, as you noted, in her earlier appearance in Cleveland with LeBron James trying to rally the black vote….James Taylor played for 45 minutes. It was extraordinary. And I thought, well that is so mellow and such a wow, how does Khizr Kahn follow that? He came and this crowd was on their feet screaming for Khizr Khan with his heartbreaking story about his son and a message against bullying. This has been a sort of magical night, staying on message and trying to recapture the momentum going into the final day.”
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains the pick: “Mitchell keeps earning her reputation as the most enthusiastic Hillary Clinton sycophant in the news media. If Clinton wins, Mitchell won’t have to adjust her presentations an iota to fit right in as the White House Press Secretary.”
