Chris Hayes exposes the start of a Trumpian fascist local media takeover (VIDEO)

Chris Hayes presented a significant segment that likely will not get the notoriety it deserves. This type of fascist attack is generally acted upon when it is too late. Will this be the case here as well?

Trump's FCC will likely relax rules that will allow Sinclair to reach over 70% of the U.S. population with Trump TV style propaganda.

Fox News is one thing - people know what fake garbage it peddles, so switching the channel is an easy fix. But once Sinclair takes over all these little local news stations and forces it's newscasters to insert pro trumpy propaganda into its real news, things get blurry. After a steady stream of this manufactured pro trumpy diet, it will be much easier to manipulate the general news watching public.
Soon all our news will start will "Dear Leader says..."

They can take their 'must carry' and stuff it.
They still can't sustain a viable audience.

Collective memory of the beginnings of fascism in Germany, Italy, and Spain has expired and out come the far far right.

We are in a precarious place, as the Anne Frank Institute just warned us.

If Chitolini fires Meuller game on.
