MSNBC - Brzezinski "Our job is to Control Exactly what people Think"

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."

They should fire her then cause she's obviously not any good at her job.

I'm sure there are, give or take, a couple hundred people that let them do it too.

I guess now they are willing to discuss the participation rate now that Trump is in office.

Do not think that is a slip of the tongue. That is the goal. I had a liberal uncle that told me that one time, he was going to convert and have me think in the correct ways.

Unfortunately, the fact that these are probably the most likely choices is a poor reflection on ourselves--specifically, our ability to have our "thoughts" manipulated or "controlled" so easily.

I often wonder how these people are still employed. I suppose the producers really don't GAF about what they say on air.

Human wetware has not updated itself for the world of modern mass communication. I blame Edward Bernays.

It's my job for me to think about issues based on facts of the issues. I don't need the media or a person to do it for me.

Impressive that he lived to 103 though. Man Wikipedia is the greatest.
