Andrea Mitchell: 'MSNBC Helping Preserve the NBC News Brand'

This will give you an idea of just how far to the left NBC's Andrea Mitchell is.

Although many industry insiders and media watchers on both sides of the aisle view the cable network MSNBC as being a journalistic disgrace as a result of its blatantly obvious liberal bias, Mitchell says, "Nothing could be more important to our future."

And that's not all. For those with strong stomachs, here's Mitchell's complete response to a question on this subject from TVNewser (emphasis added):

MSNBC is helping preserve the NBC News brand by making us the only broadcast network with a worldwide cable organization. It permits us to go live at any time with breaking news, gives us the ability to carry non-stop political coverage, including debates and convention proceedings, and — best of all — merges a new cadre of correspondents, anchors and producers with the NBC News team.

Nothing could be more important to our future. There are plenty of firewalls between the opinion during MSNBC's prime time shows and the NBC News broadcasts.

Helping preserve the brand, Andrea? Hmmm. I think most media watchers feel this abomination is destroying the brand...but thanks for sharing.
