Today, we don't have a free press, but a dystopian nightmare right out of a George Orwell novel.
It began long before that. The FCC was formed in the first term of FDR. He appointed the people to it. They insured all the radio networks were pro-FDR. The radio networks become the television networks.
All the mass media become dominated by Progressive ideology. Progressive ideology moved from being pro-American to pro-globalist and Leftist during the 40's and 50's to blossom into all out anti-American in the 60's.
As the cherry on top, the Chinese are willing to spend lots of money to have influence in the American media (and elsewhere, such as Australia.)
Thanks - I didn't know that.
