Andrea Mitchell upset that Trump doesn’t respect her enough, She’s a big shot you know

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
So I guess the reporter at Politico who did this fawning piece gets an invite to the next Georgetown schmooze fest.
(From Politico)
And then there’s the matter of Tillerson and his outright refusal to talk to reporters like Mitchell who’ve spent a lifetime on the diplomatic beat—and won’t even be bringing the usual complement of journalists along when he heads to Moscow for a crucial first visit this week amid escalating tensions over Trump’s airstrike on Russia proxy Syria. “There is just an attempt, and it’s successful, to shut down not just me but The New York Times, The Washington Post, Agence France-Presse, CNN. I mean, we’re all just shut out,” Mitchell says. “You should not be flying into Beijing without a press corps. You should not be going to Moscow without the press corps. It’s wrong.”…
…Mitchell has also evolved, over the years, into an insider, an emblem of the Washington swamp that Trump promised to drain in his campaign. When Mark Leibovich wrote his best-selling book This Town about the cozy, at times unholy, nexus between the Beltway power elite and the journalists who cover them, Mitchell was a star case in point, whose power-schmoozing at the side of her husband, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, led the Washington Post to call her “a conflict of interest in human form.”
Ah yes, This Town.
