I predict that they will try to regulate news stories that might have a negative effect on a politician's chance to be elected or re-elected. They will bring back a draconian version of the "Fairness Doctrine," and then they will close the "loophole" of "unfair" criticism over the Internet and in print media. Some liberal groups like the ACLU will be more or less opposed to it, but other leftist organizations (pressure groups) will support it. "Moderate" Republicans will "reach out" to the far left and make this possible. The political class is so audacious and emboldened that they dont' even pretend to respect the Constitution.

They won't need to, the major media already do that for them. Of course the way they do that is to suppress negative stories about liberal gun grabbing incumbents, and playing up, or making up, stories about conservatives, especially those who understand "shall not be infringed".
