“AND THAT IS OUR JOB”
POwerline ^ | 17 Apr 2022 | Scott Johnson

Freddie Prinze made “It’s not my job” the catchphrase of his stand-up act and television series Chico and The Man. What, you may ask, is the job of the mainstream media, and how does Elon Musk threaten it? You may have missed the explanation provided by the deep thinkers holding down the fort on MSNBC’s morning show. “She said the quiet part out loud,” as Michael Doran put it.

What more is to be said? This says it all. What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed, though not quite in the way that Alexander Pope meant.

“[Elon] could actually control what people think… that is our job” 😮

Sure, that makes a lot of sense. He’s spending billions so everyone can speak their mind and that’s why the these Communist pond scum believe he’s controlling how people think...Give me a break.

I shudder to think of a mind so empty that it requires Mika Brzezinski to know what to think.

This is the second time Mika has made this exact statement.
The first time happened a few years ago on air with Mourning Joe. Her Quote was “Trump is trying to tell people what to think and that’s our job!’
She is an arrogant moron with an overinflated opinion of her job and abilities.
