Thesis: Joe Scarborough of "Morning Joe", Chuck Todd & Andrea Mitchell Are GOP (NeoCon) Plants in MSNBC to Help Them Sway Public Opinion

Background:
Information/Press 5 - Learning To Find GOP Plants & The Fake Anti-Obama Echo Chamber

Theory: Joe Scarborough, Chuck Todd & Andrea Mitchell are GOP (NeoCon) plants in MSNBC to help them sway public opinion and win elections. 

Introduction To Morning Joe

This particular short article contains EXACTLY what is wrong with Joe's attitude. Since it includes a Daily Show video that makes a great introduction to the show Morning Joe for newbies, I thought I would post this article in full...

Salon:Attention, Joe Scarborough: “Morning Joe” is also a punch line on the “Daily Show” - The "Morning Joe" host dismissed CNN as a "punch line," but his own show doesn't fare much better on Comedy Central

“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough is confident that his morning news program on MSNBC will continue “covering hard news” despite a recent report that the network’s ratings are slipping, and that, for the second consecutive month, CNN’s “New Day” has beat “Morning Joe” in viewership. Scarborough dismissed CNN, telling the New York Times that the network has become a mockery thanks to the “Daily Show”:

“CNN has made itself a punch line on the ‘Daily Show’ for its phony breaking-news headlines and breathless coverage of random ocean debris,” Joe Scarborough, the anchor of “Morning Joe,” said. “ ‘Morning Joe’ topped CNN in the first quarter by covering hard news, just as we have for the past five years. We will do the same in the future and won’t be distracted by ‘X-Files’ cable news programming.”

While this may be true, Scarborough must have forgotten that “Morning Joe” is also a long-running punch line on “The Daily Show.” It was only a month ago when Samantha Bee performed a 6-minute, one-woman scene devoted to the program, describing “Morning Joe” as a “family” that puts its own agenda ahead of anything else.

“My ‘Morning Joe’ family may fight and bicker and star-fuck like nobody’s business,” Bee said, “but when the chips are down for one of our powerful friends, we pull together to attack anyone who questions them. Because that’s what morning news shows do.”

Hack List No. 8: MSNBC
Believe it or not, the liberal answer to Fox actually makes for worse TV


MSNBC, we’re told all the time, is the liberal Fox News. That’s reductive and stupid. It isn’t. MSNBC isn’t the liberal Fox News for two very important reasons: It usually demonstrates a greater respect for the truth than Fox News, and it’s not as good as Fox News. It’s not as good at being liberal as Fox is at being conservative. Fox is rigidly ideologically consistent, with its “straight news” programs echoing the same talking points and pushing the same slanted stories as its opinion shows. While there’s no doubt that MSNBC is more unapologetically liberal than it used to be, it’s still all over the place, with a conservative anchoring its flagship morning show, objective Beltway “straight news” proponents like Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell dominating in the daytime, and weekends full of … prison shows. But more important, it’s not as good as Fox at being compelling TV, which is why millions more people watch Fox every day. (There are demographic reasons for Fox’s advantage, too, but it’s still a huge number.)

Finding someone using the GOP talking points to mislead the public is easy.

 All you gotta do is find the explanations that lack any evidence but are heavy with emotion (they will often use words like "gut feeling" to pretend to have some sort of intuition about the info they are about to plant i.e. it's not a reporter's job to talk about their "gut feeling" on anything, as soon as they do they are not even pretending to report news anymore). Emotional manipulation while ignoring the context is the GOP's whole strategy. 

All you have to do to make sure this person is misled or has malicious intent is to make them aware of the facts and see how they react. A plant will never move towards truth as that's not their job. They will either go silent till the next talking point emerges or will try to dissuade you from the facts and on to their side.

The Fox News/GOP method of "news"Called "truthiness" by some...

If truthinews were around in the past, people could have seen great headlines like "Dewey Defeats Truman? You Tell Us!" and "63% Believe Titanic Still Unsinkable."  (03:42)

If a child makes a decision on his or her feelings the first day they ever attend school (or even throughout thier school life) and the question is "do I want to go to school" the answer will be "no" even if that activity is good for them i.e. going to school to get an education.  It's why we raise our kids to do stuff that doesn't feel immediately good so they can have a better life in the long run. If the evidence says one thing but another way feels better for whatever non-factual reason, we teach our kids to follow the evidence. Some kids don't get that sort of help and spend thier lives lying and using thier feelings to make decision especially if being popular amongst certain people is part of the decision making process .

GOP "Conservatives" make decisions with their feelings irrespective of the facts if that feels better to the particular individual saying them (and truth is often hard to swallow thus the edifice of lies the GOP is compelled to create everyday grows and grows without end. All you have to do is wait and they will embed themselves deep in a bed of lies as if they have an assassination squad to silence dissent and facts). The people listening just think its truthful because it's a news channel (that's the power of hearing lies from an "accredited" news source).

Pointers On Finding Fake Reporters But First Lets Get One Fact Out Of The Way...

Did the media push the President to act against ISIS? Howard Kurtz and Lauren Ashburn weigh in on the media and ISIS
TAKEWAY: The news media DOES influence public opinion and the people in the media know this. Obviously the source where people get their information from will influence their opinions, thus the media DOES have the ability to mislead the public... all it has to do is misreport the news, lie about the news, make up facts or simply leave out facts that would help people make better decisions. 

Thus for someone wishing to mislead the American People, owning as much of the media as possible to create echo chambers is very important indeed. That said I'm sure Obama has made some mistakes but I don't think any of them have been covered by the mainstream media as they can all be traced to policies signed into law by Bush or Reagan.

List of obvious conservatives (or conservative plants/lap-dogs) in the media labeled as "Liberal" that I've found so far;

 This one shows that in any particular circumstance the whole media (MSNBC, CNN & FOXNEWS) can function as a GOP/Fox News/ "Conservative" echo chamber, in this case it was to pretend a candidate didn't exist...

Note: For some reason the feelings of a Governor matters more than his actions. Certainly not a fair and balanced show as they are not holding - nor do they want to - hold someone with power and money held accountable for tier crimes. It;s more like a high school type atmosphere... always trying to kiss up to the top dogs to get to a higher point in the popularity ratings.

In any case, this would be enough except for the fortunate coincidence of catching Joe in the act when he started echoing GOP talking points (as "conservatives" in th e media tend to do) but in this case it was a mistake so we have double proof - besides years of his morning shows where he shows his allegience pretty obviously - of Joe rant non-factual information as news when attacking Obama.

The "conservative non-fact based echo chamber begins it's job spreading mis-information to help slander Obama & reduce his ratings...

Slandering Obama continues from one "reporter" to another...

On and on and on it goes...

... and here is Joe parroting the lies started by the GOP "conservatives" in their echo chamber. This is how Obama's rating is lowered by the GOP using the media. It's no big secret. Many people already know of these sorts of echo chambers.

IN reality it took four days for Reagan to respond, this fact came out accidentally not that GOP "conservatives" care if they are caught lying, they just switch to another lie and keep repeating it across it's membership as usual. Here is the accidental expose...
