"Gaining control of the media is typically the first act of a leftist usurper. When Castro took power in Cuba, he imprisoned journalists en masse and continued to do so throughout his regime, holding those who opposed him indefinitely without charges; When Josef Stalin returned from exile in March of 1917 he immediately assumed control of an underground publication founded by Leon Trotsky called Pravda (which, ironically, translates as "Truth") and made it an official arm of the Soviet Communist Party. Pravda became and remained the chief propaganda arm of the Soviet Communist Party until it was shut down in 1991 by Boris Yeltsin. Subscription to Pravda was MANDATORY; Immediately after assuming power in 1933, Adolf Hitler placed Joseph Goebbels in charge of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. All journalists, writers, and artists were required to register with the ministry." This is how you become a dictator. Take control over the press, which is the only thing that can hurt you, by telling the truth about you. Reviving the "Fairness Doctrine" will allow Obama to do things the liberal press will not tell you about, and conservative talk radio will not be ABLE to, if, indeed, it survives in any form. Otherwise, they don't have to worry about the press, because it's "in their pocket." (
