Well they’ve succeeded.

We all think those who work for MSNBC are assholes.

while unemployment and the economy worsens ...

Those must be the new talking points she was instructed to be ready for, since we have a Republican administration. She let the cat out of the bag.

Dear Mika:

Thank you for your forthright honesty.

Now go jump in a lake (polite, self-censored version of my thoughts).

If their goal is to control what we think then they have failed miserbly and perhaps they need to explain how Trump got elected.

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

What is a stretch is how you got that out of my quote. Let me rephrase it: News people (journalists), and other names they’ve gone by over the course of history, have been lying to the public not just long before the USA was ever thought of, but before North America was ever discovered by the Europeans.

I did not limit my statement to news papers.

Here’s a fairly good history of news:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News

Now I do not have any links proving news people have been lying all along, but if I dig deep enough, I could probably find a source telling of the ancient Romans or Egyptians putting out propaganda.

...the media's "job" is to "actually control exactly what people think."

The MSM's jumped the shark...

Sure, official propagandists for governments have lied forever.

But they are not what most would consider “news” people.

As for “News people” lying, yes it has gone on as long as there has been people conveying information.

There is an enormous difference between questioning travelers about what they know, and mass media.

I was trying to make the point that mass media is a different animal, and is what most people think of when they think of “news people”.

We are probably not too far off in our understanding, but I think a significant threshold was reached and changed when literacy become widespread and mass media was born.
