Controlling "exactly what people think" is the job of the media, MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski boldly declared Wednesday morning.
While discussing President Trump's entreaties to the American people to remain skeptical of the press, Bzezinski worried that if the economy turns south, Americans may end up trusting him over the media.
"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," Brzezinski said. "And that, that is our job."
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."
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.
SCARBOROUGH: "It’s the -- it's the ground noise that he is throwing out there also, whether he is questioning, Mark, the legitimacy of federal judges to do what they have done since Marbury v. Madison. It's when he says the media is the, quote --"
BRZEZINSKI: "Enemy."
SCARBOROUGH: "-- 'enemy of the people', where he sounds like Mussolini or Lenin which obviously causes concern that phrase right there makes him sound more like a dictator in training, when he sends Stephen Miller out and says, basically the president has absolute power, he shall not be questioned."
Scarborough also accused Trump's base of having a "blind spot" on the issue of illegal immigration.
"We have an economy, let’s face it, we have an economy that is built on illegal immigration," Scarborough said. "We have an economy that is built on that. That is why I say why don’t you just legalize it?"
When did Hitler and Mussolini declare the media to be the enemy of the people?
If I remember correctly they could control the media as their propaganda arm, like the way the democrats control ours.
And theaters want to show “1984” as a form of protest to the president? The entire industry is nothing more than an incestuous web of lackeys and malcontents.
She does have that Russian ‘do down.
“we have an economy that is built on illegal immigration,” Scarborough said. “We have an economy that is built on that. That is why I say why don’t you just legalize it?”
Not only is that an unbelievably LAZY argument, I don’t believe it.
CNN admits to peddling blue pills?
Sounds like it’s time to investigate how many illegals Joe has hired/harbored.
There’s a certain amount of truth to that. If one could snap their fingers and make all illegals disappear overnight you can imagine what would happen to the real estate rental market in Southern California.
The economy has accomodated and integrated the illegals over the last thirty years and any quick removal of a substantial number would mean dislocations to quite a few regional economies.
Still, I say, Head ‘Em Up! and Move ‘Em Out!.
I wish you people would stop. This just got more views than the show has viewers.
Just stop.
I can’t beleive that I voted for Joe Scarbough twice in Florida District 1
No, little Miss, *that* isn't your job. The only person or entity which is authorized to "control" what the infowarrior thinks, on ANY given subject, is the infowarrior.
Anybody else attempting to do so reveals themselves to be a potential slave master, and enemy to me. That includes President Trump, and most certainly includes the likes of you, and all your little 'tin soldier' cohorts. So, do us all a favor and buzz off...
the infowarrior
He was a lazy lawyer (local).
He was a lazy Congress-critter (mine)
Now he is a lazy TV talk show co-host..................
Same here....................
I would say that the California economy is built on illegal immigration. But the US economy? Not so much.
“BRZEZINSKI: “Well, I think that the dangerous...” Well I think you are a useless piece of crap so I guess we are even since nobody cares what either of us thinks.
“We have an economy that is built on that. That is why I say why don’t you just legalize it?”
Legalize illegally entering the country?
Do these people EVER hear themselves?
That’ll be GREAT for fundraising for 2018.
Thx, Mika!
