MSNBC Blast From The Past: It's Our Job To Control How People Think...
Not Elon Musk's

While it is obvious to many why the mainstream media - and all things
leaning left - are so utterly incensed at the richest man in the
world's decision to offer to buy Twitter, a brief blast from the MSNBC
past serves as an important reminder of just how the media and their
overlords see their roles in modern society.

As hours of coverage and an avalanche of op-eds are unleashed to
explain to the masses why they should grab their pitchforks as Elon
Musk offers to buy a social media platform at a significant premium
for shareholders, this brief MSNBC clip from 2017 perfectly summarizes
where the real panic lies.

None other than MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' Mika Brzezinski said the
following words in her out-loud voice...

    "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 then the nail in the 'oops, I just told the truth coffin':

    "...and that is our job."

To which the effervescent Joe Scarborough replies:

    "Yeah".

And in case you thought perhaps her mind had changed over the years
and she had realized the error of her gaslighting ways, on Friday's
'Morning Joe', Brezinski doubled-down, sounding the alarm over
Twitter’s possible management shakeup, calling a hypothetical Elon
Musk takeover a "very dangerous precedent" for America.

    "...are there any ways to stop him if he wants to buy Twitter? Are
there any guardrails around something like this? Because this could be
a very dangerous precedent,"

"He does not believe in the consequences of words," added Brezinki's
guest, who had written earlier that "Elon Musk’s attempt to buy
Twitter represents a chilling new threat: billionaire trolls taking
over social media."

So there you have it folks... be afraid, very afraid of being able to
think for yourself!!
