It wouldn’t stop at pulling FCC licences.

It might start with intimidating ISPs into imposing Chinese-style filters to shut out access to and publication of anti-Obama information.

Opposition publications would be forced out of circulation by abuse of postal regulations.

A strengthened “Fairness Doctrine” would be employed to drive anti-Obama voices off the radio and TV.

Selective “hate crime” prosecutions of anti-Obama media figures would be carried out and given maximum publicity.

The MSM would not need to be overtly controlled by direct takeover or suppression—simple fear of reprisal would put them in line.

See how Putin has managed to manipulate the Russian media, and you’ll see how Obama might do the same in America.

Agreed... It’s a necessary step for Communists to silence dissent or they will not achieve the complete power they seek.
