Andrea Mitchell said on her show today that they haven’t “verified” the clip therefore MSNBC and NBC will not air the audio clip, except they already did (via Free Beacon):

So funny. Mitchell really saying they are going to protect Obama as much as they can, and she’s also trying to set a precedent so that other shows after her won’t play it.

But I have a feeling at some point they are going to have to play it.

The lamestream media strikes once again. Sickening, they are all in the tank for Obama (CBS, NBC and ABC). Romney must win.

Unfortunately there are millions of people who believe the things they hear on MSNBC. The clip is already verified. It was obama and he said it.

So who expects the truth from Angrier Mitchell anyway?

If this were a republican making a damning statement, they would go to the ends of the earth to verify it. Or, like Dan Rather and the National Guard papers, just go with it and hope it's legit.

This woman ain't right. Look at the fossil she's married to.

NBC sure was quick to play doctored 911 Zimmerman tape. They will play a puppy who's whistle sounds like "rooommney sux" and call it a SCOTUS statement but Bummer in his own words spouting the same "fair share" BS we have had to endure bleeding ears from for 4 years?! Definitely a fair and balanced network. Waste of time listening to these people except for comedy relief and see how bad you can be if go lib. Like driving around and seeing crack heads in boxes makes you never even want to take another aspirin!!

ABO 2012!!!

Of course MSNBC and NBC won't air "the odumba tapes." What do you think, that they are involved in telling the truth?? Absolutely NOT! MSNBC & NBC are purveyors of hatred and lies, certainly not unlike odumba himself. They spew their trash and the uninformed believe them. They should be forced off of the air, they are certainly not acting in America's or American's best interest.

Iwonder if she lays awake at night wondering why all of the bad things that are happening to to her body are happening. Bad karma for this (don't know what to call her). But, she does deserve every drop of it.

When did she and ABC start verifying their news broadcasts??? What a hypocrite, as well as a conniving, complicit, mendacious sychophant she is, and so is everybody else at that network. "The Mendacious Stream Media".

I'm waiting for Tingles to come on and talk about how releasing this video was racist.

This is another example of the Left wing media questioning the legitimacy of any video portraying a liberal in a negative light. They did it every time AB released a video, claiming the video was doctored.

A little odd to go back 14 years? And yet they went back what? 47 years for the "bullying" story? What a joke.

Haha! MSNBC doesn't even try to get the nomination for comedy channel of the day. Yet, they always seem to pull it off.

At the same time, no one has been able to verify that Mitchell is a legitimate journalist.

NBC actually edited out exculpatory context in that trayvon Martin "911" call to make the "white hispanic" sound extra racist. This is why I don't have cable any more.

I guess mainstream media really believes the vast majority of Americans are morons.

This so transparent. I don't see why all the media just doesn't rename themselves vote BO.

'We have not authenticated this 14 year old tape from Loyola College when Barack Obama was a state senator.' - Mitchell

In other words, the word hasn't come down from the White House yet how we are supposed to respond to it, and until they tell us we can't say one way or another whether it is okay to reveal it to the American people or not.

Or is she saying that, when Barack Obama was a state senator, all he did was vote present, so this can't possibly be him taking a stand on anything?

We'll wait for the White House talking points memo - arriving in 3...2...1.......

I don't even see why it's necessary to bring up a 14 year old ad.....not that it hurts. He has said many things since along the same lines and has practiced what he preached in the video. Actions speak louder than words and he has been the "Redistribution King".

Andrea said the video is changing the subject. And what would the subject be? She's more or less saying "we've got the heat on Romney and they're trying to change the subject".

Well, good for them, that means that even more people will get their news from another source. Let's watch the ratings and see them plummet like Obama's poll numbers.

Hi Flemington.....This is Clinton NJ......Mitchell dosen't get very many viewers because her show svcks so nobody would see it anyway........So who cares??????

I think dear leader will do a media bail out (buy out) soon. "This ad is paid by the obama campaing. I'm dear leader, and I approve this buyout."

What do they mean they did not "verify" it? Are they saying Obama didn't say this? And Obama said a similar thing to "Joe the Plumber" in 2008, so it would follow that this is a philosophy he's had for most of his adult life. Also, it would be nice to know the courses Obama took at Columbia University. If he took classes on socialism or the Soviet Union, wouldn't that also shed some light on how he was forming his political views even as a student? Face it, Obama was and always will be a socialist. At least Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont has the stones to openly say it. Obama, who has the backbone of a wet noodle, would never openly say it.

kong1967
kong1967

We know Obama's pals were Marxists in college by his own admission. Everything he does champions socialism and his followers have said they want government to provide a house, a car, socialized medicine and to pay their bills. Yet, they get pi**ed if you call Obama a socialist. Go figure.

The redistribution part of this is really no surprise. But, in the video he says, "the trick is figuring out how we structure Government systems." Now I find that aspect of this even more troubling because it tells me that this President planned to Govern against the will of people from the beginning.

I believe that Romney tape was done in Florida, where it is illegal to secretly tape someone. Verify that!

Facilitating the furtherance of the crime. What is the crime? The destruction of America at the expense of the Constitution. Way to go Andrea! Why don't you start REPORTING the news? Or get out of the business!

tiny little problem - the Romney vid was from May 2012 (during this campaign). Obama vid was from 1998 and his current position is for a more progressive federal income tax. Romney has quite a few old vids that contradict his current positions.

MiketheMarine

Is it possible that Roomney's old videos are pertinent to state affairs versus federal? And hasn't Maobama been talking about redistributing wealth and power for the last four years too?

I don't disagree that he isn't my first choice BUT he IS an American, a businessman and wants to shrink the size of the federal government. Aren't you sick of paying $4 per gallon of gas? Tired of your president bowing to middle eastern tyrants? Trying to increase your taxes while giving handouts to goldbricks, deadbeats and illegals?

It really is that simple.

Like the one where he said he was anti-Reagan/Bush. Can't believe R's nominated this poser.
