If Hillary! gets in, you betcha. Remember what she said after Drudge broke the Lewinsky scandal after the mainstream press had spiked it? Something about how the Internet needs an "editing" function (presumably by the government).

Mark my words, two things for sure will happen in the first 100 days of the Hillary Administration, either by legislation or executive fiat. The first will be a reinstatement of the "Fairness Doctrine". That will end talk radio as we know it today. The other will be regulation of the Internet. Sites like FR will be history, while others like KOS and DU will flourish, probably at taxpayer expense. Controlling speech and communications (and thereby the organizing power it allows) is the first order of business for any tyranny.
