MSNBC Anchor: "Our Job" Is To "Control Exactly What People Think" [Nice they admit it]
Zero Hedge ^ | 2/22/17 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/22/2017 6:01:59 PM PST by markomalley

During a lively discussion centered on fears that President Trump is "trying to undermine the media," MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski let slip the awesome unspoken truth that the media's "job" is to "actually control exactly what people think."

(video at link)

SCARBOROUGH: "Exactly. That is exactly what I hear. What Yamiche said is what I hear from all the Trump supporters that I talk to who were Trump voters and are still Trump supporters. They go, 'Yeah you guys are going crazy. He's doing -- what are you so surprised about? He is doing exactly what he said he is going to do.'"

 

BRZEZINSKI: "Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job."

As grabien points out, the comment failed to raise any eyebrows from her co-panelists. Instead, her co-host, Joe Scarborough, said that Trump's media antagonism puts him on par with Mussolini and Lenin...

Stop Telling Me What Mika Brzezinski Said!

RUSH: By the way, I don’t need any more emails about Mika Brzezinski. Snerdley, have you heard about what Mika Brzezinski said on MSNBC? (interruption) (sigh) Well, I know everything, and yet I’ve had people email me, “You know what Mika Brzezinski said? You better comment!

Do you know what she said?”

Let me tell you what happened. It was on Morning Joe today on PMSNBC, and Mika Brzezinski, they’re talking about how Trump’s out there influencing public opinion. And the essentially Mika Brzezinski said, “Well, I think that’s dangerous. You know, edges here, he’s trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that’s our job.”

This is not news, this is not a confession, this is not a sparkling revelation.

Swaying public opinion has always been the job of the news people long, long before there the USA was ever thought of.

Why is this so hard for people to believe until now?

Considering that there were no “News people” until a little before the U.S. was created, that is a bit of a stretch.

Literacy of more than 50% of adults only hit Europe by about 1700. There were not a lot of newspapers.

You can make a good argument that the United States was the first country formed with over half its population literate.

There are claims that Jews enjoyed widespread literacy as early as 600 BCE.

he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job

Now for CNN, ABC, and CBS to make the same admission.
