Another hurtling leap towards fascism... state-sponsored media

blueandbluer:

In a page right out of Putin’s playbook, Trumperdink and Co. have assumed control of the Voice of America broadcasting agency. 

This network was previously an external American propaganda arm, subsidized but not government-run. It also was carefully non-partisan.

Now, the US Government will be directly funding them, they now are also going to be broadcast in the US as well as abroad, and the formerly non-partisan board is being replaced by a presidentially-appointed staff.

This staff includes Matthew Schuck, formerly of the virulently right-wing blog the Daily Surge. To give you an idea of their audience, the current editor of Surge wrote the following books: “Crapitalism: Liberals Who Make Millions Swiping Your Tax Dollars” and “Obama Zombies: How The Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation”

So, you know, we can be assured this new venture of theirs will be fair and balanced. 

Fight this, people. Combined with the gag orders, we’re seeing an intentional campaign to control our information. And information control is fascism at work.
