Mika Brzezinski On MSNBC - “He is trying to control exactly what people think. That is our job.” (1 Viewer)

[rockaction]

I’m a big believer in the “when people show you who they are believe them” Philosophy. 

This steps past any political minefield you might want. Sage advice. 

Unless they're showing you a #### and proclaiming themself a woman.

I’m not sure that the powers that be at Fox News, MSNBC or CNN want to control and shape how people think about news events so much as they want to shape the stories to feed into their core viewers’ existing biases in order to attract and maintain viewership. Same ballpark for sure but a slightly different take. 

This is an excellent point and accurate I’d say.  Though I do believe this path still ultimately leads to controlling how people think about the news events.

When one has to consider who represents the "Our" in "That's Our Job", the deep ugly question remains the same - DOES MSNBC TRY TO CONTROL WHAT THE GENERAL VIEWING PUBLIC "THINKS" AS AN OPEN ACTIVIST COMPLICIT PROPAGANDA ARM OF THE CURRENT DEMOCRATIC PARTY?

VIDEO: Dr. Jason Johnson on Kyle Rittenhouse Nov 15, 2021 MSNBC

“ (Kyle) Rittenhouse is basically what you would have had in a (active) school shooter. He’s a 17-year-old kid, he shouldn’t have had a (AR15) gun. He (made a choice and ) crossed state lines to supposedly protect (private) property. No, he was (clearly) going out to shoot people.”

*****

There's a lot to disparage about Rittenhouse and his choices that night. Some of those criticism and outrage are probably more than fair.

However there is nothing that exists for MSNBC to make the leap that Rittenhouse is in lock step to what America conceives as a "school shooter"

This is what establishment Democrats want when they deploy MSNBC to try to control what the average American "thinks". To send the message that poor white Christian rural Americans will try to kill you if they can. They'll just execute you in public and on plain sight.

Many of you here are Caucasian. And many of you here have sons. Is this how you'd want your son to be labeled by MSNBC across the entire country without any ethical view of actual character or meritocracy or context?

To try to remove the power of the poor rural Christian white voting block, many of you now have sons that will be seen as immediate public threats via the national daily media narrative, through activists like MSNBC, boiled down to "That's Our Job". Do know when this kind of media strategy was previously used in recorded human history? When the Nazis decided to line up people against a wall for the crime of being Jewish.

Many of the radical leftists here are going to dogmatically protect their "political tribe" at all costs, against all practical reason, even when that "tribe" clearly is going to bracket their children as future high value targets for this insane identity politics fueled agenda.

Abraham bringing Issac to the altar was a cautionary tale, not a dogmatic woke blueprint.

Direct Headline: Kyle Rittenhouse’s white crocodile tears hold value in America

The man charged with homicide in the deaths of two anti-police brutality protesters put on quite the show for a nearly all-white jury this week....The Rittenhouse murder trial is being prosecuted in front of a nearly all-white jury, before a white judge who uses conservative lingo to describe protesters, in a country where white vigilantism is often excused, if not worshipped.

In the wake of the Columbine shooting, “the solution for the NRA was to lean into it, to double down. To never waver from the message…that guns in the hands of people are good,” says Chris Hayes. Decades later, “that’s the message that was being pushed to a 17 year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.”

The Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial has illuminated details experts say are similar to other cases of armed men who are not members of professional law enforcement, taking violent action to purportedly upload the law. Joy Reid outlines how in America, the vigilantism of predominantly White men has too often been protected by the law.

"That's Our Job"

Which implies MSNBC.

Authoritarian regimes always begin by turning the screws on the demographic most likely to resist the widespread use of an oppressive police state. In this case, it's white males. MSNBC, the folks who write Brzezinski's paychecks and give her a platform for her zealotry, wants to control how the American public "thinks" about the dangers of white males as future Columbine style mass shooters.

Many of you are white males. Many of you have sons who are white males.

Everyone has their free speech ( for now) Everyone has the right to their own vote ( for now) Everyone has the choice in their free expression ( for now) But the question remains. How many adult white males here voted for and supported the pathway towards their own targeting?

That's "Their Job", to take the 'For Now' and 'Forever' away from you and your children. And yet you love them for it.

******

But it's not just MSNBC trying to control what the American public "thinks", it had to coordinate with Big Daddy aka NBC News too.

Rittenhouse is and was an idiot. But he was not an active shooter. Shooting someone in a horizontal position was debunked. Flashing a white power sign was debunked. And MSNBC refused to air the defense's closing statements.

What about any of this screams ethical journalism when reflecting about "That's Our Job"?

But it wasn't just MSNBC was it? To control what the American public "thinks"

It included NPR, paid for with your tax dollars, openly lying about denying that a gun that was pointed at Rittenhouse. Then CBS trying to get away with a quick headline that Rittenhouse testified that he murdered the two men when no such thing happened.

But remember, "That's Our Job"

Direct Headline: Why We’ve Decided to Tell You the Criminal Records of the Men Shot in Kenosha

******

So what exactly didn't MSNBC cover when becoming pure activists to control what American's "think"?

They certainly didn't cover the extensive criminal records of the two men that Rittenhouse shot. And they didn't cover the prosecutors leveraging witnesses to change their statements.

But what is the larger question in regards to "That's Our Job"? What happens to the person who can't raise millions of dollars for their legal defense fund when the radical left puts the full weight of all their resources, including MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski and all the rest, to bear against them?

That's "Their Job", to rob due process away from American citizens. Just because Rittenhouse is a complete and total idiot doesn't automatically make him a criminal. And it doesn't remove his right to actual due process.

*****

This all become aggressively political and a trial of Conservative/Republican ideology when Biden went national in showing a clip of Kyle Rittenhouse in late 2020 and mentioning Kenosha to push the idea that poor white rural Christian Americans are all racists and a threat to the safety of Black America and the harbinger of death to all American values. Biden used Kyle Rittenhouse's face, alongside MSNBC's narrative, to try to pin widespread white supremacy on the GOP because establishment Democrats have zero leverage and control with poor white rural Christian voters.

But for the left leaning activist complicit propaganda driving MSM like MSNBC, that's "Their Job" - To put unpopular political ideology on trial. And yet no one wants to talk about due process here. Where Biden and Harris both weighed in on the Derek Chauvin case before the jury rendered a verdict and said they prayed for a conviction. And with this case, where inciting videos like this were designed to trigger jurors or zealots to bracket down on jurors to compel them to vote "Guilty" or suffer direct consequences.

And I'm just highlighting just one high profile case. And beyond Rittenhouse, how has MSNBC, the people who write Brzezinski's paycheck, been covering issues like gun control, immigration, inflation, the Border Crisis, national security, abortion, rising gasoline prices, the environment, education, health care and on and on and on.

Are you actually going to have me carpet bomb you with more than enough evidence to show a coordinated structured pathological attack on free speech, journalistic integrity and due process and just pretend like there is no open blatant attempt to control what the American public at large "thinks" about these complex issues?

Asking someone whether they'd like the ability to control people's minds is like asking them whether they'd like to have X-ray vision or the ability to shapeshift or to breathe underwater. The obvious answer is yes, that'd be pretty sweet.

I doubt Ms. B had anything so sinister in mind, though.

Well sure, but that's not interesting.  "If you can only have one, which of those powers would you choose" is much more interesting.
