The following exchange about Trump bypassing the media by Tweeting took place this morning on
MSNBC's Morning Joe (aka Morning Joke):
Host Joe 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.'"
Co-host Mika 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."
This is a pretty stunning admission from someone who is billed as a "journalist" and her sidekick nodded in agreement. They apparently didn't recognize their Freudian slip that revealed what they really think.
Sorry Mika and Joe. Controlling what people think isn't your job anymore than it is President Trump's!
How about everyone going back to reporting the news and telling the truth? Just a thought!
