Just in case there still people who are not convinced that Donald Trump is plotting to replace America’s democracy with a totalitarian dictatorship, he has dispatched his chairman of the FCC (Fascist Communications Commission) to Newsmax to announce his latest anti-free-press initiative.<\/p>\n

FCC chair, Brendan Carr, has been making the media rounds this week to rollout the Trump agenda to clampdown on any journalistic enterprise that thinks it has the freedom to criticize Dear Leader Trump or his MAGA movement. Last week Carr bragged to Fox News that Trump had defunded PBS and NPR. And he told them that Trump was responsible for the cancelation of “Late Night with Stephen Colbert”<\/em> because Trump is “not gonna play by the rules of politicians in the past and let these legacy outfits dictate the narrative and the terms of the debate.”<\/em> Of course not. Dictating the narrative is a privilege reserved for Trump and his confederates.<\/p>\n

Not satisfied with those assaults on the free press, Carr also visited with Newsmax to announce a unique provision that was snuck into the FCC’s approval of the merger between Paramount (the owner of CBS) and Skydance Media<\/a><\/strong>. Carr sat for a friendly chat with Newsmax host Greg Kelly that included the following exchange…<\/p>\n

Kelly:<\/strong> We heard a little about what they’re gonna have to do on 60 Minutes. Is there anything beyond that you can tell us about what they’re gonna do differently, fact-based? You know, that’s kind of a cultural shock to them.
\nCarr:<\/strong> Yeah, it might be news to some folks over there. One of the things they\u2019re going to have to do is put an ombudsman in place for two years. So basically a “bias monitor” that will report directly to the president. So that\u2019s something that\u2019s significant that we\u2019re going to see happening as well to broadcasters.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
