NBC television journalist Brian Williams: 'Our job is to scare people to death in relation to North Korea' (VIDEO)

On Tuesday night, MSNBC television journalist Brian Williams, openly said in a panel show in a striking manner that "our journalistic work actually creates panic and scare them to death for North Korea"

The statement came amidst a strong debate that included also journalist Andrea Mitchell, who gave a detailed description of what would have happened if a war broke out in the Korean peninsula, how many victims there were and how many ballistic missiles would be fired. The emission also had guests like MSNBC Malcolm Nance's associate. Williams starts his comment and a comment from the 2:00 mark onwards.

In response to Williams's unexpected and highly revealing comment, Mitchell only shook his head, although it is unclear whether by approving or disapproving of what he actually heard - panel panelists did not go back to explaining what he said. Although the world is currently witnessing a dangerous and escalating war between the words of President Trump and North Korea, reporting on the mainstream media has long been fueled by the spread of fears over the geopolitical dynamics that drive tensions in the region.

The US public is generally sadly uneducated about the history of US-North Korean tensions and war.

According to the theologian of the twentieth century and political commentator Reinhold Niebuhr, fear is the main tool carried out by public institutions and the elite in order for the masses to be loyal. Fear and sensationalism of the mainstream media are also good for rating and advertising revenue. Niebuhr says social "producers of myths" - an appropriate description of today's large corporate media - that serve us an illusion separated from the truth on a daily basis:

"Rationality belongs to the cold observer, but because of the stupidity of an average person, it follows the mass not according to reason, but towards faith, and naive faith requires the necessary illusion and emotionally powerful over-simplification of the facts provided by" mythmakers "to keep an ordinary person in his path (Their way). "

While the media business should be at any cost to reveal the truth and accurately analyze the event, Brian Williams obviously thinks that his job as well as NBC's networks are causing constant public fear. He said that exactly.
