MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski: It's 'Our Job' to 'Control Exactly What People Think'
 [PJ] During a discussion on the MSNBC show "Morning Joe" Wednesday morning, a liberal TV host let slip her view of what the media's "job" is, and it isn't "to report the news."In a discussion about fears that President Donald Trump is "trying to control the media," co-host Mika Brzezinski complained that Trump is trying to do her job. Namely, to "actually control exactly what people think." "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," Brzezinski said. "And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much so that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job." (emphasis added) To be fair, Brzezinski later tried to clarify her remarks: "Today I said it's the media's job to keep President Trump from making up his own facts, NOT that it's our job to control what people think."
