Delusional MSM Hosts Accuse ‘Right Wing Media’ of Brainwashing People to Believe Lies

Well, they'd know a thing or two about that, wouldn't they?

The following exchange that aired between MSNBC's Chris Hayes and NPR's Bob Garfeld illustrates just how out of touch with reality the mainstream media truly are. 

Despite overwhelming proof of mainstream media's lies and left-wing bias, Hayes and Garfeld insist that the real brainwashing comes from a vast network of right-wing media sources. 

The duo fretted over the credibility of President-elect Trump's recent statement pointing to evidence that millions of votes were cast illegally in the presidential election. Classic liberal hypocrisy considering the mainstream media are the nation's leading disseminators of lies. Newsbusters parses the relevant portions of the transcript and provides the clip below: 

“The people who get it and we at the mainstream media, you know, get the straight dope but about half the electorate is getting their information from other sources, none credible,” he whined.

The ranting Garfield blamed the success of “right wing media” on what he called “330 million individual echo chambers,” which he claimed helped to insulate people from news they don’t want to hear. He didn’t seem to realize that his belief works both ways, especially when it’s evident that left does not want to consider another perspective on nearly everything.

“And the convergence of the socially mediated world and an unprecedentedly dishonest president have put us in this crazy nightmare inside of an outrage inside of an apocalypse. It’s nuts."

Garfeld's meltdown continued as he worried about right-wing indoctrination. 

"And right now we have about half the population who is -- who have been conditioned, conditioned, one might even say brainwashed by close to 50 years of right-wing media, which has characterized, demonized mainstream media and characterized it as unpatriotic and un-American and has talked about grossly misogynistic way and in grossly racist terms, in Islamic-phobic and xenophobic terms and has allowed about half of our population to bathe in a sort of humiliation."

“The humiliation that I think is strikingly parallel to the humiliation of the German people after World War I and the treaty of Versailles."

Of course, they must always link it back to the Holocaust, because Trump is "Hitler."

While we could say their lack of self-awareness is breathtaking, we think hypocrites like Garfeld and Hayes know full well that they are lying through their teeth. As we've maintained, the Left always accuses others of that which it is guilty of a thousand-fold.
