The media elite don’t think too highly of you, the American news consumer.

This little inconvenient fact accidentally slipped through on a recent Morning Joe on MSNBC when co-host Mika Brzezinski blurted out that it was the media’s job to control what people think.

She was hoping to accuse President Trump of manipulating the narrative to change people’s minds but instead, took offense because hey, that’s their job:

“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.”

At least someone in the media told the truth for once. What’s even more amazing is that no one at the “news” desk challenged her assessment. Also very telling.

After receiving some backlash over what she said, Brzezinski backpeddled by “clarifying” what she “meant” to say. On Twitter she wrote, “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.”

“Of course, that is obvious from the transcript but some people want to make up their own facts. SAD!” she added.

Nice try, but we can make up our own minds, thank you.

However, the three people that still watch MSNBC agreed with Brzezinski wholeheartedly.
