for one thing, there's the RW NEED to spout and repeat the propaganda, to promote their agenda and control the sheeple with the constant drumbeat of nationalism and fear, thus justifying a never-ending state of war AND the loss of personal freedoms so that "daddy" can protect them. that necessitates takeover of media. all major networks preferably, so that there is unity of message.

then there is the fact that right now RW nuts are the loudest part of population. they seem to make up nearly half the total population and the "conventional wisdom" is that they are the people with the $$. so it makes the first part of the formula lucrative as well as politically astute (even if it IS evil).
