I guess we see things differently. As far as I’m concerned, we already have the state-run media that you dread. For a short time Fox was with us, but they’re now compromised.
As far as talk radio is concerned, if the state-run media gets their way, in one or two more elections, we’ll have the Fairness Doctrine again pushed through Congress, driving Rush off the air, FOR GOOD, and talk radio around the country will again center on the price of pork bellies. At that point Amnesty slides through and it’s over for our children (even if they’re not born yet).
There’s a guy on this site that won’t vote for any Republican that allows an abortion exception for rape or incest. He’d rather see a Democrat open abortion clinics in every high school, as long as he has nothing to do with it.
Same here - we’ve already lost the mainstream media, that’s a given. The next step for the MSM is to get the Democrats enough power so that they can FINISH THE JOB.
As far as Trump not holding to an idealistic view of the First Amendment...we didn’t have that during WW2 and we survived. We’ll survive again.

“I guess we see things differently.”
We certainly do
I just prefer a limited government. I didn’t like BHO running roughshod over the Constitution and I certainly don’t like the idea of a President Trump doing the same
