In reply to the discussion: "Wow" Reid mocks 'Morning Joe' interview of Kochs [View all]stuffmatters
(2,574 posts)Yep, absolutely painful and a gross example of journalistic malpractice. I recorded the whole thing & watched it yesterday. Not only did these 2 MSNBC nitwits tongue bath and support the vile, lying, delusional Kochs, they actually pulled in Kansas "witnesses" to Koch rave. (of course zero mention that their Brownback puppet has bankrupted Kansas following idiotic Koch "economics."
Here's a few unchallenged Koch remarks from the interview: It's ok for 150 richest families to control the political process because "they have the right intentions" Repeated remarks about how their work is "philantrophy and social welfare". And their explanation for America's wealth inequality boiled down to the "disadvantaged" not having a strong work ethic and paternal role model (like their Bircher father beat and brainwashed into them)
These brothers have the same mindset as Ben Carson actually. Scientifically very educated, condescending and cold, yet completely devoid of intellectual fluency or emotional maturity. I guess as a document into their hermetic sociopathic minds and universe, this was interesting. But we already knew they were monsters and live in a closed system that exists for their insatiably self serving ends to poison our environment and pollute our discourse.
