"Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that 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."

Is she Trump's 2020 campaign manager?

Also, this bit:

Scarborough also accused Trump's base of having a "blind spot" on the issue of illegal immigration.

"We have an economy, let’s face it, we have an economy that is built on illegal immigration," Scarborough said. "We have an economy that is built on that. That is why I say why don’t you just legalize it?"

Please clap.

Freudian slip, perhaps?

I remember hearing a post-retirement radio interview with one of the "old school" TV reporters - I THINK it was David Brinkley, but I couldn't swear to it.

He said that the reason TV reporters don't cover stories impartially is because they really, really think it's their job to guide the audience to the RIGHT conclusions, and sometimes persuasive arguments from the WRONG side might confuse the audience, or even make them form WRONG opinions.

And he said they're not conspiring to do this - they really, really think THEY are the custodians of the truth, and it's their responsibility to make sure the public sees the light as they do.

When reporters are accidentally a little too honest on the air.

I think we ought to register, regulate, and license reporters. After all, no right is absolute.

And require that they be stored in a secure, cool, dark, soundproof place when not in legitimate use.

Just keep in mind who Brzezinski's father was.
