They see Trump as having upended their apple cart, and the media has essentially been engaged in a “media riot” as a result. It appears to be their sincere hope that their “media riot” will lead to riots on the streets of the nation.

The media feel it’s their mission in life to convert the world to marxism.

You know, they are just pixels on a screen. Avatar technology has reached a point where you really don’t need humans reading the news to viewers. It could all be automated, the face on the screen could be given a name, they would look entirely human, and the salary expense of these reporter celebrities could be eliminated.

Wolf Blitzer gets $2 million/year. The prime anchors likely much more. These people should be automated away.

It would be good to see these folks erased by automation, and see how quickly they become Trump voters.

Not to defend Mika, but I think the clip is taking things a little out of context. I think what she was saying is along these lines:

"Trump is trying to control what people think, and it is our job to inform them so that he can't do that."

Of course, I don't think for one second that Mika and others don't WANT to control what people think, but I am not sure they are so overt about it, or that they even think that's what they themselves try to do.

“This from someone who couldn’t even think her way out of a paper bag.”

Just another offspring sired by someone with another false reputation for being smart...but really just another blowhard and suckup to the big politico crowd.....

If you are in any way surprised at this, you are either 6 years old or hopelessly naïve - or both.

In 1970, I was recently returned combat veteran of the Vietnam War and a brand-new member of the NRA. I was watching NBC TV one evening and a news program featuring Bob Abernathy came on with a long, rambling screed against gun owners and gun ownership. I called the station and asked to rebut Mr. Abernathy on air. They laughed at me.

That evening, while I was working on a Time Share Module (Look up that piece of antediluvian technology separately) on my programming homework at Cal State Northridge when a friend, an early version of a hacker, told me that I could access the AP hotline from that same computer system. I typed a letter of response to Mr. Abernathy (I still have it) and transmitted it through AP to KNBC in Burbank.

The phone was ringing when I got home and it was the Station Manager, telling me that they enjoyed my letter and marveling that I could pull that trick off. They invited me to meet with them the next day.

I went to Burbank wearing my best (and only) sport coat and driving my 1952 MG-TD. When I got in the station, the carpets got thicker and the secretaries leggier the closer I got to the Station Manager's office.

I had a half hour with the guy who kept saying "I agree with you more than you realize" but making it clear that they had no intention of letting me rebut Mr. Abernathy or anyone else.

At the end of the half hour I asked the guy if I could ask a separate question: I had watched the coverage they were giving to the Vietnam War and I noticed that they and the rest of the media always showed negative news about the war. They just showed when we lost people or interviewed disgruntled rear-area types or enemy sympathizers. I said that they never show us winning fights or all the refugees coming to us rather than the enemy or the areas that were living freely because of our protection.

He said "If we showed that stuff, the war would just go on".

I said that I was surprised - I always thought that the news was supposed to give a free people unfiltered information so that we could make our own decisions.

He smiled and said "our time is up".

Nothing has changed. They still believe that they should be telling us what to believe.

She thought they said "chains" so she became a liberal.

Thanks to Mika for the truth. I recommend we begin to call the mainstream media the “mind control media” exclusively. It will get the point across and drive the left nuts.

"MSNBC host admits that it is their "job to control what people think"

That's what Joseph Goebbels thought.
