Don't hold your breath waiting for conservatives to get time on the MSM. It will be like the Sedition Act of the 1790s which made it a crime for Republicans to criticize the top Federalist officials (such as the President) but not a crime for Federalists to criticize Republicans (e.g. VP Thomas Jefferson).

It won't be as blatant this time around--all they want is a monopoly of the airwaves, not necessarily to throw people in jail for expressing opinions. Well, they may make expressing certain opinions hate crimes.

Yes, but we all know what became of the Federalists.

Unfortunately, the Republicans evolved into the Democrats.
