      Were you directing the “you” in your comment at people in Russia, China and North Korea?

      If so, I don’t think they’ll be surprised that fascism is coming for them.

      I understood “you” to mean people who believe that they live in free countries with a free press.

        I dunno, they might be! But no, you understood correctly. I’m just saying state media is as state media does. Hopefully it keeps the signal to noise ratio high. But private media companies are always growing due to their immense Political power.

          In the US that’s true, but is it true of other countries? It seems like it in some countries like Israel, Italy and Hungary. But, those seem to be countries that have already gone pretty fascist.
