Mika Kicks Joe Into Submission, Reads White House ObamaCare Talking Points

Don't blame Mika—she was just obeying White House orders . . .

When Joe Scarborough tried this morning to comment on Pres. Obama's latest ObamaCare oration, Mika Brzezinski unleashed a series of seemingly serious kicks at his ankles. Having successfully silenced her sidekick, Mika proceeded to read off her Blackberry a statement extolling the glories of what PBO has vouschafed onto a grateful people.

At one point, Mika said "I have some talking points from the White House." Being the naive and trusting person I am, I assumed Mika was kidding. Except that, upon a bit of Googling, it appears that she wasn't . . .

Incredible example of the state-controlled media. Ping to Today show list.

Who needs Robert Gibbs?

Nobody’s watching PMSLSD anyway.

The Clinon-era fax machine is now the Obama-era Blackberry. Lazy journalists hate when the GOP has the White House; they have to work for a living.

Back some decades ago, Germany had an official government post -- the Minister of Propaganda. At the time, "propaganda" was not necessarily seen as a bad thing, so they were open about it -- "we are manipulating the thoughts of the people so as to further the agenda of the political elite".

After WWII, people largely did a re-think and decided that this was unsavory -- or, at least, that some subtlety was required.

But now we're back to the Ministry of Propaganda, and whole networks of functionaries.

I have avoided the news media since Sunday..Reading about it is bad enough.

[popdonnelly]

These people are laughable.

Another example of Rush’s claim of a “State Controlled Media”. Hey Joe, you gonna respond or take it like a girlie mahn.

[TPOOH]

This White House has no shame. And Barry is not my president.

[Guenevere]

Joe, this is pathetic...

Wake up man, and see what you've become!

Seems these people are just propagandists, actors for Communists. “Objective journalism” has never been their motivation. We might as well at last get better looking actors.

[MsLady]

No kidding!!! I’m thinking what the heck, was that a joke?? Or for real?? This is surreal. When do they start pulling out the guns and putting them to our heads?

At the end he looked like he was really getting pissed.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

She just more honest, less creative and, let’s face it, a whole lot lazier than most of her colleagues.

I agree but what ya gonna do about it Joe? You can't get much lower than to be a "conservative" commentator on MSDNC.

[GoCards]

Well at least she started with I have some talking points from the whitehouse as she read those to the folks. Obvious if your smart.

Here's one of Joey dressed for work:

The only positive I can find for someone who cannot think for herself (Mika)is that at least she was honest. I couldn’t help noticing that during the entire clip she did not have a single thought of her own. Perhaps this is why their ratings are so poor.
