    So fascism it is. The first step is always to control the media and propagandize the whole population and cement their control over the narrative.

      Right. It’s harder now, because we see it coming and have other outlets… but will we just let it happen? I’m thinking probably.

          I’m not sure which independent outlets you’re referring to, so I’ll ignore that part. The rest of your comment is about the behavior of corporate media. They have always sucked off whoever’s in power. That’s what they’re there for.

        We already have. Those who get their news from mainstream tv networks and corporate owned newspapers are already consuming corporate propaganda. Social networks are also compromised by foreign entities, bots, and billionaires and have become echo chambers.

        What else is left?
