Critics of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on both the left and the right are calling for a crackdown on conservative media after the election, especially on talk radio and the Web.

"We need to get to a point where Hannity only has paid contributors on. He doesn't need to have elected officials on," Mackowiak said. "Someone needs to be making sure that if you want to go open $50,000 [in ads] on Breitbart, that there is, that you get a phone call that follows that up and makes clear you're not helping."

What conservative media?

[elcid1970]

Who does the cracking down and with what?

[TADSLOS]

No kidding. That’s more elusive than bigfoot.

[BenLurkin]

How do they propose to “crack down” on something that is perfectly legal?

[vladimir998]

They’re pushing for suppression and oppression. . . which will get a response they will not like.

“How do they propose to “crack down” on something that is perfectly legal?”

They’ll find a way to make it illegal. They’ll probably try to impose “fairness doctrine” rules first.

I haven’t read the article and am honestly wondering if this Maskowstooge is a Dem or “Republican”. That’s how bad it has gotten.

They're gonna need a better leash.

[Salvavida]

Butt hurt because they no longer control the narrative. It’s called: FREEDOM.

Wow ... amazing and scary article ... thanks to Trump for making more cockroaches come out of the woodwork .. both sides ...

[newnhdad]

Seriously? These are elitist we’re talking about. .it will be called the “open press and freedom” act and it will suppress the open and free exchange of ideas.

It’s TERRIFYING what is going on.

Ans while I am always hesitant to see that monster’s (hitler) face being compared to anyone, in this case it is a premonition of what’s to come.

Our Jewish friends on the board could enlighten us about what to expect next, as I fear they have had horrifying stories told to them by their elders.

Biden was wrong. You ARE Safe in America because I and many others will come to your aid immediately if muzzies or socialists ever go to far.

To the USA!!! To Israel!!! To the UK for Brexit!!

What conservative media?

They mean us. And they mean us ill.

Right to my Fakebook Page. “He’s with her, are you?”

[Secret Agent Man]

Even with total libtard control and collusion with the uniparty media, its not enough for these totalitarians.

The truth still gets out.

This is just another way they control the language and frame the debate.

[liberalh8ter]

If this doesn't convince anyone that this election really is a “war”, I don't know what will.

said Stu Burguiere, a co-host for the virulent anti-Trump media titan Glenn Beck. "I think the play is that in the long term the audience rewards you for telling the truth. If your host is doing things that are acting specifically as a booster for a candidate, you have to call them out on that stuff.

The hypocrisy here is mind blowing. The most unhinged kook show on radio thinks they need to be calling people out for being unbalanced?

[Jim Robinson]

We’re not media. We’re just grassroots citizens.
