BRZEZINSKI: ‘OUR JOB’ IS TO CONTROL ‘EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE THINK’
news.grabien.com ^ | Feb 22, 2017 | Staff

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?"

>>Progressive truth spill. Cleanup on isle 8.<<

And it's about to get even messier for the libs/MSM when O’Keefe releases hundreds of hours of MSM (CNN) news room undercover footage.

This is sooooo sweet. Finally the propagandist screwed the pooch.

Why should anyone listen to two people who left their families so they can shack up at 50 yrs old? How about you clean your own house before you lecture others.

Pray America woke

They are usually crammed in with others. I doubt a major movement would hve much effect on the housing market. Might affect the stock prices of the Walmarts, etc but again, many of the shops that cater to illegals are the mom and pop ones within the community”

You know, the ones who don’t report their income in the first place

Hey Mika, America ALREADY trusts Trump more than the Media!

More than the media, government, congress and used car salesmen combined.

And theaters want to show “1984” as a form of protest to the president?

I want theaters to show the movie NETWORK.

Howard Beale: [ascending the stage] So, you listen to me. Listen to me: Television is not the truth! Television is a God-damned amusement park! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business! So if you want the truth... Go to God! Go to your gurus! Go to yourselves! Because that's the only place you're ever going to find any real truth.

I have had about all of this I can take. The media is the oligarchy. This has to stop. Now.

Oregon and Washington are seriously looking at rent control to bring down prices. Giving illegals the Big Vamoose would create instant supply and bring costs for housing down.
