“That is our job”

A gaffe is when someone mistakenly says something they believe to be true. The media really is the enemy of the people and has been for a long time. A reminder from February 2017:

The hosts of MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ commented on President Trump’s efforts to “undermine the media.” Co-host Mika Brzezinski commented Wednesday morning that she is upset to see President Trump has moved in on the media’s turf when it comes to the area of mind control.

“He is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts,” she said about Trump. “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,” she noted, referring to the media.

The entire purpose of the media is to control what people think. That’s why they are so enraged by the God-Emperor correctly describing them as Fake News. Everything they say is a lie. Everything they say is meant to establish a false narrative. Everything they report is intended to spin things in a manner to influence people’s behavior.

Look at the NPR hit piece on Chuck Dixon and me. Even though Amanda Robb obtained nothing effective that she could use against me in the three hours she spent interrogating me, she and her co-conspirator still successfully planted the false narrative of dark money in the minds of people like Jason Yungbluth and IndieGoGo.

Al Letson: So Vox Day claims to have gotten money to produce these comic books through a crowdfunding website. I’m on that site and it says he started off trying to raise $25000, but he raised close to $236000. That just amazes me.

Amanda Robb: It’s actually pretty unbelievable.

Al Letson: Where is that money coming from?

Amanda Robb: Well that’s the $236000 question. It’s very hard to tell. Most of it’s from a anonymous donors and a lot of it comes in very large increments, some up to $5000 each which is weird because the average donation to a crowdfunding project is about $66.

Al Letson: But we don’t know if he actually raised that money. It looks like it, but we don’t know that for a fact.

Amanda Robb: I think that’s a really good point because Alt-Hero was raising money on a crowdfunding site called, and apparently Vox Day helped create it. It’s a private site. It’s totally black box. There’s no way to find out who made most of the donations, where the money came from, where it went, if it actually existed. I did find out that the company that processed the credit card payments decided to stop working with FreeStarter a few months back, and I tried to get in touch with the company to find out why and they wouldn’t talk to me. Then Alt-Hero had already way surpassed its fundraising goal and is publishing now a series of comic books.

First, I didn’t help create Freestartr. Fake news. Second, notice what Robb conveniently failed to report. She claims that the average crowdfunding backing – not a donation, also fake news – is  $66. But while she mentions a) the total, and b) the largest backing amount of the Alt-Hero campaign, she completely fails to note that since there were 2,190 backers, the average backing for Alt-Hero was only $107. That’s certainly higher than the average but it is not even remotely remarkable; the leading boardgame now being crowdfunded on Kickstarter has an average backing of $101 and a retro sports watch that is trending with 20 days left has an average backing of $248.

Again, fake news, false narrative. Mika Brzezinski inadvertently admitted the truth about the media. They actually are trying to control exactly what people think and they are ferociously opposed to anyone who stands in their way and prevents them from doing that.

The amusing thing is how she belatedly tried to backtrack and control what people think about what she actually said about controlling what people think.

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.

Mika Brzezinski@morningmika
 Of course, that is obvious from the transcript but some people want to make up their own facts. SAD!

Again, fake news. She quite literally said it was the media’s job to “actually control exactly what people think.” There is no possible grammatical construction or interpretation that allows any objective reading of her statement to conclude that she actually said it was the media’s job to prevent President Trump from making up his own facts.

But instead of claiming that she misspoke, which at least would have been a credible lie, she chose to try to create an observably false narrative about her own words. Meta fake news!
