NBC: "Our Job Is To Control What People Think"

Yesterday morning on NBC's news channel, "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski's mask slipped for a moment, declaring that President Trump may, in fact, be controlling what people think, saying, "And that is our job."

The media is a mess.

Tuesday, James O'Keefe told Sean Hannity his organization, Project Veritas, will be releasing tapes of private newsroom conversations of a major news organization---and how they plot and plan to use their stories to advance their agenda--"control how people think."

Also Tuesday morning, MTV News "senior news correspondent" Ana Marie Cox admitted to MSNBC she is taking part in the protests against Trump.

The media is a mess.

And: Trump administration has revoked Obama's guidelines regarding transgender's use of bathrooms.


The Trump administration Wednesday revoked federal guidelines issued by former President Barack Obama that allowed public school students to use restrooms and other facilities corresponding to their gender identity.

A document submitted to the Supreme Court by the Solicitor General's office said that the Obama-era directive issued this past May did not "undergo any formal public process" or explain how the directive was "consistent with the express language of Title IX," the federal law outlawing sex discrimination in education and activities.

"This is an issue best solved at the state and local level," Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said. "Schools, communities, and families can find -- and in many cases have found -- solutions that protect all students."

"Congress, state legislatures, and local governments are in a position to adopt appropriate policies or laws addressing this issue," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. "The Department of Justice remains committed to the proper interpretation and enforcement of Title IX and to its protections for all students, including LGBTQ students, from discrimination, bullying, and harassment.”

And...

Yesterday morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe", co-host Mika Brzezinski said that President Trump "could be undermining the messaging so much that he can control exactly what people think. And that's our job."

Brzezinski said: "I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he's trying to undermine the media, trying 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."

How embarrassing. I thought all along their job was to give us accurate news reporting and we got to decide what we believe. That didn't even seem to be a consideration. The concern is "who" gets to control what people think.

Tuesday morning, MTV News "senior political correspondent" Ana Marie Cox also appeared on "Morning Joe."

She admitted that she, as a news reporter, is taking part in protests against President Trump.

However, she argued that she is "not" getting paid to do so. She says the organizational meetings of the protestors are "a mess," explaining, "I don't know if you sign up for benefits, or what."

Sarcastic? Or not?

She said the main problem is that we don't agree on reality.

Reality and Truth are very elusive to the secular progressive. Every day they create a new reality and a new truth for that day. One designed to advance their agenda---and the end always justifies means.

It appears that James O'Keefe is about to turn on the lights in a major news organization's back room.

O'Keefe, who heads up "Project Veritas," is set to unleash some very bright lights through the undercover recorded conversations in the back room of one of the world's most watched news organizations.

The recorded conversations will, like Wikileaks, be released, beginning today online.

O'Keefe is well known for his undercover investigating and sting operations. You may recall he exposed the DNC's paid agitator arrangements, the outing of "DisruptJ20", New Hampshire election fraud, and a number of other dark little secular progressive secrets.

He says much of what he has, came to him from a "mole" working deeply inside the news organization.

Hannity, in a radio interview with O'Keefe, tried to get him to say which network it is.

O'Keefe did say they claim to be "the most trusted name in news"---which is CNN.

So. A closeted conservative working deep within the hyper-liberal CNN has apparently given O'Keefe hours and hours of recorded conversation about how to undermine the President of the United States.

When I read this, I recalled it was CNN employees who were joking about Trump's plane crashing---while forgetting the mic was on.

The media corruption is not only directed at politics and politicians. It is also directed toward "controlling how people think."

Brent Bozell III, head of the Media Research Council (MRC) wrote an article yesterday on how the press panders to Planned Parenthood.

I strongly recommend you read it.

Bozell says virtually "all journalists on the Left treat Planned Parenthood as the most sacred of cows," refuse to investigate them, refuse to cover pro-life marches, etc., and "even cover the activities of these merchants of death."

The media always covers for PP.

Bozell notes that a recent Quinnipiac University poll asked plainly whether people supported de-funding Planned Parenthood. Only 31% said they did, while 62% said they did not.

Another Quinnipiac Poll asked about banning abortion at 20 weeks; 46% said yes and 46% said no.

Planned Parenthood performed tens of thousands of abortions after 20 weeks---about 18,000 per year. Bozell points out that "roughly a third of those who believe this ghastly practice should be banned also believe Planned Parenthood should be funded so they can continue to commit these atrocities."

The gap illustrates that PP, through a very complicit media, effectively brands itself as a generic women's healthcare provider, not as the McDonalds of abortion.

PP claims that abortions only account for about 3% of its procedures.

Even the wobbly far Left Washington Post columnist Glenn Kessler admitted that this is very misleading.

But the networks just continue to parrot the propaganda line. Recently ABC's "Good Morning America" let a spokesperson claim that 97% of the services that Planned Parenthood provides are preventative health services.

Yet in a video posted this month by Live Action showing Sue Thayer, a former director of two Planned Parenthood clinics, saying she was given quotas for abortions, and if the quotas were met, the staff got a free pizza party.

CBS recently quoted actress Scarlett Johansson saying, "For millions of Americans, Planned Parenthood is often the only trustworthy and affordable clinic."

Bozell calls that "baloney" and says, "She might be excused as a fool, but CBS knows better."

And so do the American people.

Several recent polls show Americans trust Trump more than they trust the news media.

And this is how the news media controls how people think.

And they do so "because its their job."
