You must have read the article. It provides a lot of historical perspective to the corruption and decades of lying by the old media monopoly.

Based on history I expect the next time the left takes power (Congress & presidency) there will be an all out assault on the first amendment:

1). Hate speech laws with leftist judges determining what speech and press is allowable. Not unlike the omnipotent FISA courts of today.

2). A tough “fairness doctrine” applied to restrict conservative talk radio.

3). Censorship and regulation of the internet. It would not surprise me to see a requirement that websites be “licensed” by the government.

4). Continued aggregation of media into large conglomerates allied with the progressive movement. No application of anti-trust law to media.

5). All licensing and regulation of the media administered by political appointees who reward or punish those regulated. Heavy fines levied against those who refuse to pay to play.

6). Even more rigid censorship, indoctrination and political correctness on college campuses.

7). Significant and constant and coordinated efforts to bully companies into directing advertising to support progressive ideas and political correctness. The full weight of the regulatory state, liberal courts, social justice organizations, and media thrown against any company or organization that funds conservative “speech”.
