"The dangerous edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts, and it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsen, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. and that is our job."
What does Elon want me to think?MSNBC “Elon is trying to control how people think. That is our job”
There you have it, the media's view of themselves and their mission to control what you think and believe.
"undermined the messaging"? Yes, the coordinated manipulation of American voters: propaganda.
LOL that thought definitely did not come out the way she wanted it to.
LOL, right wingers are so off the deep end they really do think journalists are in some sort of evil cabal who really does see themselves as responsible for thought control.Of course, it did. She sees that as being the proper job (mission?) of those in the infotainment business. Simply because she is not especially good at it, doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand it.
And Fox does it even worse. Since it's not going to stop, it has been a competition to grab the most viewers. That's media. Don't like what they're telling you, switch to the next network or don't watch at all.MSNBC “Elon is trying to control how people think. That is our job”

So you, too, are admitting that you believe that statement came out exactly as the thought she intended?Notice how the left try to change the subject, point in other directions, blame other people. They learned it from the media they watch.
The same media who believes it's their job to manipulate the conversation to their narrative and agenda. Like what MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski just told us. More posters will follow, trying to divert your attention from what you just saw yourself.

Thank you for admitting you believe this. That is all.They are and they do.

But she day say exactly what she meant. She just shouldn’t have said it in the open Mike. But it’s OK, everyone knows what the media does, it’s painfully obvious
Oh yes, thats for sure.More importantly, her arrogance is on display.
You obviously have not watched enough of those two. There are bucket loads of open mouth and insert foot at "Morning Joe" mostly by Joe and Mika. Joe is imprecise and undisciplined and meanders between his cornpone "I am just a poor country lawyer" act and reveling in the good ole' days with ........Newt Gingrich. Gimme a break Joe.Of course, it did. She sees that as being the proper job (mission?) of those in the infotainment business. Simply because she is not especially good at it, doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand it.
That one made me laugh. I’ve seen the headline about this over last day or so and I thought it was someone fishing her statement. I didn’t realize she actually said those words verbatim.MSNBC “Elon is trying to control how people think. That is our job”

While throwing around her daddy's name liberally Mika appears to have learned nothing at his feet. Oddly enough MSNBC has given them another hour of airtime to fill.....a mistake I believe MSNBC will grow too regret if they don't already. They now run from 6-10AM daily.
Then at 4-6PM you have Nicole Wallace boundlessly unrepentant about her good ole' days with card carrying IDIOT.......Bush 43. Her show was also expanded from 1 hour to 2. That is a little easier for the Network to take than 4 frigging hours of Joe and Mika. Remembering that Mika is appended to Joe you have to wonder what MSNBC is shooting for, a left leaning network and modest offset to the utterly off the cliff edge Fox News or a repentance tour for wayward Republicans. They have slated 6 of the most important hours of the day for the repentant Republicans tour. Then they have Andrea Mitchell at noon, doing her best imitation of an over the hill Democrat. The ever bombastic Lawrence O'Donnell from 10-11PM. Chris Hayes from 8-9PM is now one of their best not because he has upped his game as much as the rest of the lineup is a bit of a mess.
MSNBC is still reeling from having lost the guy swimming the anchor leg for them, Brian Williams probably the best there ever was amongst the 24/7's at that time slot. They were struggling just to move people around to accommodate that role. Stephanie Rule who breaks into tears at the drop of the hat has the 11-12pm slot now. Then Maddow decides she does not like the idea of holding down an hour long slot 5 days a week goes off ostensibly to work on "projects". She has just come back to her show but claims she will trim back from 5 shows a week to 1. The parent network needs to do some ASAP. Hope they realize it for their own good.
Beyond those mentioned by name above, the rest of the day's hosts are basically fill-ins. They have likely found one real gem in Ali Vehshi who has done yeoman work from Ukraine while filing in for Maddow as well.
I have said it before and will say it again now, 24/7 news was a horrible idea that never ever was 24/7 news programing anyway. The world produces about two hours of actual news each day worthy of TV airtime that can be accommodated by the limitations of a video media. That two hours is repeated 4-6 times per day followed by sometimes interesting, mostly outrageous opinion offered by celebrities that really should not be offering an opinion on anything past whether a doberman's ears should be cropped or not....that goes for all of them on all 3 of the big 24/7's. I will not be offering that some statue should be erected to Ted Turner iff and when he beats me to the grave.
While Fox News parrots RNC and Putin talking points verbatim. The RNC I could take if they were not now tied at the hip to Trump who is tied at the hip to Vladimir the Butcher.pAll that, plus parroting DNC talking points verbatim.

Pontificating is what the 3 major 24/7's do all day long. Has nothing whatsoever to do with news:
- Fox pontificates using RNC talking points
- MSNBC pontificates using DNC talking points
- CNN does not care as its bias is dog pile on the carpet narratives and it simply does not really care if they use an RNC or a DNC talking point as long as it can push forward a dog pile on the carpet narrative. Not entirely sure that CNN is more palatable than the two 24/7's that actually exhibit recognizable political bias.
^^ This is a liberal smokescreen in all its glory.
What are you complaining about? Make a point why don't you. Why is what I wrote a smokescreen? Whats the matter....can't take dealing with the actual reality of 24/7 "news"?^^ This is a liberal smokescreen in all its glory.
