Main Stream Media (MSM) has this complex of wanting to manage what American’s think or control the narrative, no better illustration is a comment from an MSNBC anchor.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski stated President Trump “could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that is our job.”
Brzezinski said, “I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he’s is trying to undermine the media, 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 is our job.”
This is hilarious, since they didn’t practice this under a Democrat administration… The media in FACT, repeated the narrative, no main stream media types EVER questioned the statements, no matter how un-realistic it was.
So she came around later to defend herself.
Brzezinski took to Twitter to clarify her remarks, saying, “Today I said it’s the media’s job to keep President Trump from making up his own facts, NOT that it’s our job to control what people think.” She added, “Of course, that is obvious from the transcript but some people want to make up their own facts. SAD!”
Either way she meant it, there is ALWAYS a different standard, depending on the “party in office”.
