The Overlooked Importance of the Narrative

[gab13by13]

The right owns and manages the MSM, including MSNBC. This makes it difficult for Democrats and for our democracy.

There were many people 4 or 5 years ago on msnbc who could change the right wing talking points, today, they are all gone except for Nicolle Wallace and Chris Hayes. I even believe that someone got to Rachel. I have no proof at all, it just seems odd to me the way she left, and then she helped axe Keith Olbermann. She was the best.

I wish that people could see why the right's control of the narrative matters so much.

The Alvin Bragg fiasco is done, finished in a couple of days.
The Ginni Thomas expose' won't last a week, if that.
Soon we will see Steve Kornacki with the propaganda polling, and the attempted coup will fade away.

What are the odds that Thom Hartmann will be given Rachel's spot? He is the brightest most articulate defender of our democracy, and we can't have that on cable news, we can't even have Keith Olbermann.

Propaganda works people, heck, we don't even know the difference between a fence and a wall.

2. Rachel is on leave because she's producing a movie based on her podcast "Bag Man"

Which is really good if you haven't heard it. Her website. She has made a lot of $, is in high demand and can do other projects, so to entice her to stay a bit longer a deal was made wherein she could take a few months off (don't know how long) to produce the movie and do whatever else she will do on that project. Really a huge deal for her.

I'd think she's ready to move on but MSNBC really didn't want to let her go quite yet. She and Chris Wallace are the only two I really like any more. I loved Stephanie Ruhle before but so far haven't enjoyed her in the new time slot. Hopefully she'll find her groove.

You are absolutely correct though. Propaganda works and we're being fed it every day.
