Way to fall for shit editing. Once again, you believe what you want to believe, not facts.
Editing? There's no jump cuts there, honey.

You kind of left out the context. She was referring to Trump. Or, did you miss that part?
“SCARBOROUGH: "Exactly. That is exactly what I hear. What Yamiche said is what I hear from all the Trump supporters that I talk to who were Trump voters and are still Trump supporters. They go, 'Yeah you guys are going crazy. He's doing -- what are you so surprised about? He is doing exactly what he said he is going to do.'"
BRZEZINSKI: "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."
Now, do let us know if you have a tough time with her statement. She is literally saying that Trump’s White House and Trump’s own biased media (Fox, Breitbart, Infowars) are engaged in trying to control the way we think.
And, she clarified it, once Trump’s Media took her statement out of context:
“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.”
She was trying to explain the obvious — for those who are small-minded, who are unable to follow a simple, obvious train of thought.

Your weak, feeble mind is again exposed. You are truly a useful idiot. Independent thought is not something you are capable of, and you prove it, daily.

I didn't miss that part. Of course she was talking about Trump.
You just claimed that it was "shit editing". It's completely unedited.

I don't know how you could possibly read that any other way in any context.
She probably immediately regretted saying it, as did Joe for giving an affirmative right after she finished.
They aren't supposed to let you know that their job is to make up their own facts and control what you think.
There was really no reason to be worried though. As long as they're saying exactly what their audience wants to hear, their audience will defend them even when they let the curtain slip.

There's no other way to read that.
We heard her say it too. And we saw it.
You're the idiot who immediately said the clip was edited. It wasn't edited. She said exactly what she was thinking and idiot Joe agreed with her.
And mediabots like you let her get away with it and emboldened them to take it further.

The Senate filibuster is one of the most unfortunate accidents in American history. Fresh off the duel where he killed Alexander Hamilton, Vice President Aaron Burr returned to the Senate and proposed streamlining the body’s rules by eliminating something called the “previous question motion,” a process that was rarely invoked in the early years of the Senate. Burr was charged with multiple crimes, including murder, in New York and New Jersey, but was never tried in either jurisdiction. Burr, and Trump, got away clean with very public murder, another convenient fact for Signym. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Burr#Duel_with_Hamilton
As Sarah Binder, a Brookings Institution expert on Congress and a professor at George Washington University, explained in 2010 testimony to the Senate Rules Committee, Burr’s intent was to produce a “cleaner rule book”. Burr thought the previous question motion was the kind of superfluous rule that could be eliminated.
Unfortunately for the nation, the previous question motion wasn’t the least bit superfluous. This motion turned out to be the only way to force the Senate to move off a particular topic. When the Senate took up Burr on his call, it allowed senators to lock the Senate into endless, pointless debate — halting progress even if a majority of the Senate wished to move forward to a vote.
The filibuster was born.
In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson successfully urged the Senate to create a process, known as “cloture,” which would allow a two-thirds majority of the Senate to break a filibuster and bring a matter to the Senate for a final vote. Since then, the filibuster rules have been modified at least 161 times.
Democratic senators like Joe Manchin (WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (AZ), who say they oppose eliminating the filibuster, do not need to eliminate it in order to build a more functional Senate. Remember that Mitch McConnell is still in a position to gridlock the Senate. How to stop him with a subtle rule change?
Before I get into several ways the filibuster can be altered without abolishing it, however, it’s helpful to understand some of the procedural details behind the filibuster.
When Barack Obama took office in 2009, he needed to appoint approximately 1,000 Senate-confirmed Cabinet jobs, sub-Cabinet positions, ambassadors, judges, federal prosecutors, and US marshals. At the time, Senate rules allowed the Republican minority to force 30 hours of post-cloture debate on each of these nominees.
The result was that if the Senate worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and did nothing but confirm Obama’s nominees, Republicans still could have forced the Senate to do nothing else for more than three years before the last nominee was confirmed. Indeed, a 2012 law allowing the president to appoint officials to about 170 executive branch positions, without going through the Senate confirmation process, is best understood as a reaction to widespread filibusters of President Obama’s nominees. To prevent more such systematic delays, a 2019 amendment to the Senate rules reduced the amount of post-cloture debate to two hours, instead of 30 hours, for federal trial judges and for executive branch officials outside of the Cabinet. While the filibuster can still be used to delay confirmation votes, it is a far less potent tool of obstruction than it once was.

Yanno, SECONDRATE, if you would stop injecting blatant nonsense into your posts we might even have a reasonable discussion.
