Thom Hartmann is all over Trump's control of the media,

[Ilsa]

the media being beholden to whomever is in power to get their corporate consolidations approved by Commerce, etc, and how people have been threatened in the past and how they are afraid now. The media will shine Trump's shoes with their tongues. Trump won't permit any criticism, even in jest.

All of the tools -- surveillance, control media, threats, etc, are at trump's disposal now. Here comes the fascism.

Thank goodness for DU, Skinner, Earl G, and Elad.

1. I just heard that...

And, it made me want to puke. We are screwed.

2. The irony is dripping from Thom Hartmann. A neck like a jockey's wotsits....

[Ilsa]

3. I forgot about the infiltration of military, police, etc

with racists and bigots.

4. Does he understand the media CREATED Trump for ratings and ad revenue?

Bet he doesn't.

5. I suspect Thom knows exactly who is who

and what is what. He is one of the smartest people I've ever heard or read. Methinks he has a clue.

6. Sure. My guess is that Zucker et al gave trump too much credit.

They thought he'd be mature, not thin-skinned. They figured his hatefulness was a political ploy, not reality. They didn't realize they were enabling a sociopath while they were distracted by the money they were raking in.

8. Alternate news, underground sources, international news and sharing. nt

9. now what will happen if he gets

his grumby hands on the net????

11. That was where I thought this thread was going...

Election night was just a warm-up to what they would do to any website that does not toe the line of the White House and White Nationalists.

Scary days are ahead.

10. Look hard at radio shout shows. That is the future of MSM. nt
