MSNBC Anchor Admits "Our Job" Is To "Control Exactly What People Think"

Difficulty with English & Structure i see ....your grey matter needs a refresher course to start with.

 

OMG they accused me-- randomly-- of being in Putin's basement!

 

MSNBC only spews phony news, it's run by corrupt democrats.

 

What specifically? Trump's call to widen discrimination law to European or Australian levels?

 

This show is liberal and with packed bias...but after some time with Fox and Friends I jump to Morning Joe to clear my head a little. Personally I think Mitzi or whatever her name is...misspoke. she is liberal but not the Chris Cuomo brand.

 

Overgeneralization is a logical fallacy that occurs when a conclusion about a group is drawn from an unrepresentative sample, especially a sample that is too small or too narrow. See fallacy of the lonely fact. That will show you how you are wrong. If someone in the media admits this, at most, it delegitimizes that someone who admitted it.

 

I have never read Breitbart. I listened to Limbaugh once, didn't like him, have not listened to him again. Have watched Fox news once in a while, cognizant of the difference between the news programs and the opinion programs.

Do you read anything other than moveon, Huffington Post, and Mother Jones?

 

TRANSPARENCY: Is James O’Keefe About To Smoke CNN? Tells Hannity He’s Set To Release “Hundreds of Hours” Of Newsroom Footage “Wikileaks Style.” Why should journalists be immune from investigative journalism?

Well, when you have people like Mika Brzezinski saying that it’s “our job” to “control what people think,” a little transparency is in order.

What I see is a shrinking market due to competition from alternative media, causing the established media to concentrate on an ever-smaller sub-sector of society. And that's becoming less and less sustainable so there will be losses

 

God, y'all are gullible. Don't you think that if that's what she actually meant they'd have called her on it?

No...common sense.

Look it up if you don't don't know what it is.

 

Then surely you're also of the belief that the right does the exact same thing. There's a whole team of righty-media-specialists sitting around watching all the news channels they tell you not to watch just so they can catch slip-ups like this and disseminate them to the faithful followers. Equally creepy. What's truly notable, in fact, is how infrequent these finds really are given how much material they have to work with.

 

Actually the Obama administration counted arrests made at the border as part of their deportation numbers. Something none of the other administrations did. Had they done so their numbers would have been a lot higher then what Obama's team claimed. All he did was pad his numbers when in reality he his deportation rate was much smaller.

 

And Geico saved me a lot on car insurance. The tooth fairy is real and I'm secretly seeing the daughter of Santa Claus. You get my vote for whopper of the year.

 

As someone who preferred Hannity & Colmes to just Hannity, I agree, but the difference here is what MSNBC’s propagandist considers their job, to have more power or control over opinion.

The following quote is still true today, the structure of government places Trump at the pulpit.

“Promote then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened.” (Washington's Farewell Address 1796) http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/washing.asp

The job of the media is not to have more control, than the general diffusion of knowledge or the bully pulpit, which is what she was suggesting.

Alan Colmes' job was to play straight man to Hannity. Fox makes a big show of pretending to be "Fair and Balanced". If it was, it wouldn't have to keep remining its audience with this phony slogan. No other news organization does. Most of the liberal voices you see on Fox are largely unknown in liberal circles. Some of them, like Pat Caddell, who is always being trotted out and falsely represented as a prominent Democratic pollster, haven't been active in liberal politics for decades.

 

The five does have two guys, Williams and Beckel. Caddell (Cotter Pin's guy) reminds me of what Hillary said in her book about Dick Morris, and the connection of always talking to friends and advisers.

“In October I called Dick Morris for an outside opinion about our prospects. Bill and I considered Morris a creative pollster and a brilliant strategist, but he came with serious baggage. First of all, he had no compunction about working both sides of the aisle and all sides of an issue.” (P, 251 Hillary Rodham Clinton, Living History, Simon & Schuster)

“It would take time, but Bill was determined to understand what went wrong with this election and to figure out how to articulate and reassert his agenda. As always, we started a conversation that would continue for months. We held meetings with friends and advisers to focus on what Bill should do next.” (P, 257 Hillary Rodham Clinton, Living History, Simon & Schuster)


I think that was and is the problem, always going to one side for advice.

 

I think there are a fake things in/on her if you get my drift.

 

Yeah, Williams left the reservation a long time ago. Bob Beckel is a moderate at best. He fits USAT very well.

 

So in other words you've realized how much of an absolute joke of a hypocrite I just made you into, but are to stuck up to admit it and thus have nothing to actually say other then some childish ad hominem? I figured as much. It's not like you can expect any better from a lib.

 

I am not a liberal.

I am not a hypocrite in any sense of the word.

I am not "stuck up." (Egad...are you a grammar school kid?)

Be careful of your shoulder when patting yourself on the back.

 

So we are now 3 posts in and you have yet to make any actual argument but plenty of ad hominems. Go figure

 

Well you would be much better served if you were really in search of the truth.

The problem is really quite simple. It is not what the leftist TV news networks and leftist major press say that is so biased. It is what the don't say that makes them so biased. They cover up so dishonestly all the sins and crimes and lies and skullduggery of their pals it's shocking. Even the very major scandals are buried as quickly as possible as though the Clinton Foundation scandal does not even compare to Donald Trump saying in a debate with Hillary that he will have to wait and see how the election turns out before he can say for certain he would not challenge the results. Remember that one? Every single news outlet led with that story after a very important debate. The ONLY thing they found important was Trump's reservations on the election. What a bunch of garbage!
But then what happened about month or so later? Trump won handily, but who made all the fake charges and demands of recounts and B.S. claims not accepting the results? Yeah, you know... those you are so enamored with.

 

I wish I could find them, but in the past there were studies that showed the Democratic Party enjoys a 5%-7% advantage in elections due to the hard left wing media bias present.
