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

By TYLER DURDEN, ZeroHedge.

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.

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

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”.

Watch the full clip here:

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!!

Twitter users that come here are horrified the articles and comments aren’t controlled and moderated, it’s probably the only glimpse of freedom they’ve had in a decade.

Freedom is great. Anarchy is not. This site turned into anarchy thanks to lack of any moderation.

True!

Didn’t you say what was on your mind? Why would you think that what you said is any more important than anyone else’s thoughts? If you don’t like what someone else has to say don’t read the comment section.

SnowCatzor

The spam is the only problem here. As long as someone isn’t threatening violence they’re allowed to comment.

don’t mix the articles with the comments posted here, which nobody cares and give a fuck about and which are completely worthless btw…there are two completely separate things…

If SouthFront cares so much about budget, then they don’t even need to hire a Moderator, just need to implement an algorithm that bans such mentally retarded people as mentioned before.

You call people “mentally retarded” and then ask for an algorithm to moderate this kind for speech. You’re confused to say the least.

Some of my favourite quotes. HL Mencken’s ‘Declaration of Independence in American’ is hysterically funny. Mencken’s Dictionary of American Slang is a reference librarian’s choice for english usage in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Isaac Asimov (1920 – 1992): “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that your ignorance is just as good as my knowledge.”

Max Born (November 1960, Bulletin Of The Atomic Scientist): “Should the human race not be extinguished by nuclear war it will degenerate into a flock of stupid, dumb creatures under the tyranny of dictators who rule them with the help of machines and electric computers. This is not a prophecy but a nightmare.”

H. L. Mencken (1880 – 1956): “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents… the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” It’s as if he could see Trump and Reagan on the horizon.

H. L. Mencken (1880 – 1956): “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”

William Casey (CIA Director 1981-1987): “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

Voltaire: “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

John Stuart Mill (1806 – 1873): “I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally conservative.”

Thomas Paine: ”To argue with a person who has renounced reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”

Very nice quotes, and thought provoking. Excellent, actually!

“Democracy substitutes government by the ignorant many for rule by the corrupt few”
George Bernard Shaw

“Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.”
George Benard Shaw

because most imbeciles now exist solely in a propagandised un-socialmedia construct..

a nonthreatening (to the) neo-liberal self reassuring echo chamber that adds ‘value’ to their empty shallow materialistic existences… that mollycoddles and persecutes ‘supposed’ ideological enemies..

the sheer thought of unalloyed truth and freedom of opinion threatens their very existence..

they would then be subject to scrutiny logic and at the mercy of rational thought processes..

someone may call them fat… or stupid…. or actually a mentally ill man in a dress…

Elon Musk has understood that sanctions against Russia might become an existential problem for Tesla very soon so he embarked on the information war to turn the tide towars his interests. I do not believe twitter to be the bst place for that but nevertheless its good to see private entrepreneurs ngaging in this mulitpolar multi actor world.

No mention of Mika Brzezinski’s father, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was one of the NWO’s top thinkers at one time? And, of course, no mention of the fact that the jews completely control the media – both mainstream and “alternative”.

Thank you (((South Front))) for publishing (((Tyler Durdan’s))) sanitized thoughts on this matter!

I got fuking banned there for just saying, “Pig Pompeo should kill himself.”
Never had FB and I got banned from YT because I call Zion pigs – Zion pigs.

I don’t really know if Elon can buy it or he is just faking and if he did…the US going to fuk him and nothing going to change. Elon can’t change Twitter – even if he buys it.

Those platforms are all run by the US government – the end.
Like the US government, it is run by Zion doesn’t matter if it is Trump or Biden all the same.

I like how you just give up when someone calls your BS kid, grow up.
Zion are known in history for lying and being greedy as pigs – nothing good comes from them, never have – those are facts, you Zion.

“It is a state of mind full of unity and bliss.”
Killing and looting and nothing more – facts, Hahaha I remember Zion killing Zion for a long time STFU kid. You have no clue and you can’t say anything good about them – you aren’t even trying.
Morons said “there is a spiritual Zion”… Zion is a movement after WWII shithead – it started in the EU. Oh my god…

Twitter is a censors paradise but Elon Musk is a fucking nasty joke!
He considered the coup against Bolivia and their President Evo Morales as absolutely fine so long as Tesla got the lithium reserves.
Indeed many of the coup leaders were conected to senior Tesla investors.
I’ve said this many times Tesla is a Ponzi scvheme its the most over priced stock in the history of stock markets and has Zero ( just about fuck all ) in assets the first major investor pull-out will see stock market carnage
Fuck the MSM but fuck the Musks of this world also

Yes, when they’re disproportionally Jews and Zionists, billionaire control of the media to the detriment of society and national security is a very serious problem.

And to think, they built that MASSIVE empire right under the noses of the incompetent christian dim-wits!!

RichardD

Protestant Evangelical Christian Zionists are about 20% of the electorate in the US and are definitely part of the problem. The large Ashkenazi Jew population from Russia and eastern Europe here in the US, which is over 90% of US Jews, is the main problem. Which is why the Russians and eastern Europeans got rid of them.

PsyOp

It ain’t just the evangelicals. The US government is full of christians of every denomination.

I have hated the US Main Stream Media since the Barry Goldwater run for the presidency in 1964. I attended his kick-off speech in Prescott AZ and heard what he had to say and what the media said he said. They were two different things!
