I see at least nine out of fourteen characteristics in the Obama regime. Controlled Mass Media is #6.
Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism
By Dr. Lawrence Britt
Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:

This was reported just yesterday. I fear that it could happen in the United States if our Congress doesn’t act soon to stop Obama from overstepping his Constitutional authority.......
Iran cracks down on media before election
(Reuters) - Iranian authorities have arrested more than a dozen journalists in the past two days over their links to “anti-revolutionary” media, Iranian media reported, in what appeared to be a coordinated crackdown on the press.
With a presidential election five months away, Iran’s clerical leadership appears to be tightening its grip on the media to avoid a repeat of the widespread protests that erupted after the disputed election in 2009.

Dictators are all the same:
Free press gagged by Zimbabwe’s new media law
16 Mar 2002
FLUSHED with the success of his stolen election victory, and shrugging off international criticism, President Robert Mugabe yesterday enacted a draconian media law which all but gags the independent press...(snip)
It will prevent journalists from working in Zimbabwe unless they are approved by a government commission headed by Jonathan Moyo, the information minister.

Maybe Kristin Powers stopped drinking the Kool-Aid. She was also critical about the 60 Minutes Obama/Clinton Lovefest.....
Kirsten Powers: 60 Minutes Interview With Obama and Clinton Was on the Level of State-Run Media Propaganda
It was really something you would expect from like, the state-run media. It was that kind of level of propaganda as far as Im concerned. I can understand maybe in agreeing to the interview, letting them have maybe one softball question in the beginning and then move on to more important things. This was a joke.
FOX News has done a fine job delegitimatizing themselves without any help from Zero—Stopped watching them ages ago.
FOX News often shies away from reporting on the complete truth about Obama but FOX and Rush are the only major media forces that stand in the way of complete control of the mass media by this regime. That’s why Obama is complaining that FOX and Rush are standing in his way.

6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
I do not see how she can remain a lib/rat now that she recognizes that the 'rat party is the Alinsky party. I used to be a 'rat. Voted for Mondale, Dukakis and B.J Clinton. I had some friends who asked me why I still voted 'rat, as all my positions seemed to be conservative. By '94, I was a solid conservative; listening to Rush, reading conservative magazines, etc and helping to vote in the '94 Republican House majority.
Kirsten seems to value the first amendment, and a free and unbiased media; so I fail to see why she stays among the Alinskyites. Maybe she'll realize she has little in common with them anymore as I did.
However, I seem to have little in common with the GOP(e), either.
