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."

Just one more piece of evidence illustrating that there’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans - at least the “elite leadership” of the party.

This is a push piece that is designed to backfire on the conservatives when Trump wins and tries to do something about the corruption, collusion and illegal electioneering between the msm and the dems. Conservatives are supposed to come out screaming 1st amendment rights now, so they can say... see, you can not say anything when you were screaming about having a right to speech. It is an apples to oranges fight.

These leftists (and faux conservatives) have no humanity or morality. They want our once free and independent society to be under the thumb of a state-controlled Pravda-like media that brooks no opposition and has zero interest in balance or fairness. There is no greater, more effective anti-American force in the world today than our manipulative propaganda “media” and the people who promote them.

Although the unprecedented extreme partisanship and dishonesty of the vast majority of the “media” was obvious to anyone paying any attention, thank God we have solid proof from dozens of Wikileak emails of collusion between several different “media” organizations and the DNC and Hillary’s campaign. But as under Big Brother, every last person must toe the prescribed line or meet oppression.

We must do everything we can to stop the MSM propagandists. They hate us; they want to end the United States in any recognizable form; they fight vigorously against freedom of thought and an open democratic system. Stop watching them. Stop reading them. Protest to the people advertising with them, and do not use their products. Do not let the brownshirts in the establishment of both parties and their media pets win. They have 95% of the media totally under their thumb. This is sick and disturbing. We have to fight back as hard as we can and not let them crush the 5% of resistence fighters who are left.
