Yeah, cuz the only ones who really question the Administration is people like Matt Drudge, who used to be a gift-shop clerk, and now runs a HIGHLY effective, (almost) one-man operation.
And he’s SUPPLANTING the cartelized, legacy media that has been coopted by The Establishment.
And WE, TOO, are part of the new and highly effective electronic Samizdat.
AND THEY CANNOT STAND IT.
So they’re going to try and simply make us ILLEGAL.
They have no idea of just how HUGE the backlash ALREADY IS!!
EMAIL JOURNALISTS TAKE NOTE
I will tell you something about Japan —the 3rd biggest economy:
Their press is dominated by “Kisshya Kai” —the press pool.
It’s a kind of news cartel of journalists assigned to each government ministry, and they have very stable membership lists over time.
The stated reason is to uphold standards and provide quality service, but naturally what happens is that politicians develop special relationships with the journalists covering them —the politician becomes 10% journo and the journo becomes 50% politician.
The relationship is close and can sometimes offer advantages, however most of the time it’s a huge impediment to breaking really important stories: he (it’s almost always a HE) will lose access if he doesn’t hold back crucial details, sometimes —the relationship will be damaged.
No huge political scandals in Japan are ever broken by “reputable” papers or magazines. Each press pool regularly meets in private and as a GROUP they decide what pieces of info are worthy of publication.
The hot, important political stories are broken by what by Japanese standards would be considered, “The National Enquirer”, or more accurately, the black-and-white “Space Baby Found In Watermelon” rags we have next to the registers.
So apparently The Regime wants to set up a more cartelized media that is closed to the likes of FR, etc.
The system they want is anti-market and the TRUTH will suffer —this makes sense for a gummint run by a Gay Muslim who smuggles machine-guns and missiles when he is not (expensively) vacationing.
And WE, TOO, are part of the new and highly effective electronic Samizdat.

Indeed, we are.
” Yeah, cuz the only ones who really question the Administration is people like Matt Drudge, who used to be a gift-shop clerk, and now runs a HIGHLY effective, (almost) one-man operation.”
You forgot to preface that with “the conservative “ Matt Drudge. Apparently if you report anything unflattering about the left you are a dreaded conservative. I’ve seen a lot of his headlines about the right and the left. They can’t stand that.
Outlets that expose Liberal crimes and scandals will not be tolerated.
