“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”  2 Timothy 3:13.

Mika Brezinksi, in a rare moment of candor, revealed what many Americans have long suspected. 

On air, she disclosed that it was the media’s job to “control exactly what people think.”

In discussing President Trump, she went on to say:

“He could undermine the messaging so much that he could actually control exactly what people think - and that’s our job.”

Messaging is a phrase used by PR firms.  It is not the verbiage of journalists.  Brezinki’s comments acutely frame the reality that the modern national media is driven to control.  Not inform.
