Lets not forget that at one time Mussolini was the editor of a newspaper.

I wonder if the people in the media realize that Mussolini was the editor of the socialist newspaper “Avanti”.

In 1945 indeed this former newspaper editor was dealt with by his enemies in the manner you described.

I wonder if any of these MSNBC and similar anti-Trump folks have ever read any books about the origin and history of fascism? I honestly doubt it. Or if they know that the Dems and bh0 were hawking socialism and communism onto this country...and for them, fascism is merely a way point to what they want to create in a communist dictatorship like the USSR, Cuba, Communist China, and North Korea have.

There needs to be a way to force the media to report the truth and leave their own bias out of the story. Now it is simply a tool of the DNC.

ah, Mussolini and associates were hung (already dead) upside down from a large horizontal girder at a gas station in Milan.... ofc, people tend not to know that Mussolini started off as pure left-winger (socialist) who seized central state power.... he was not a phenomenon of the “right” but of the “LEFT”....

Trump is angling himself to be like Franco, Hitler and Mussolini.

Fascism is a form of statism, which is what libtards want. Trump wants smaller government and less statism.

“They left out Satan, Stalin and Pol Pot.”

Of course they left out those three. Those three are their heros! Perhaps not so much Pol Pot, but their love of abortion does give them a similarity to Pol Pot of killing people, but before they are born.

This has gotten way beyond ridiculous, and the reasons for the media's behavior are truly juvenile. Successive generations of aspiring media personnel have been attracted to the profession by the celebrity of Woodward and Bernstein, and the possibility to ‘be important and change the world’.

Print media journalists didn't just have their byline anymore, they started doing television appearances on opinion shows, and becoming celebrities of a sort themselves. The more sensational their stories, and the more their stories were slanted to promote liberal causes, the more likely they'd be on television. Even bylines for some of them started being accompanied by their pictures.

Broadcast news became even more the realm of celebrity. First there were Cronkite, Huntley, and Brinkley, and then came a succession of broadcast news personalities who became household names: Barbara Walters, Dan Rather, Ted Koppel, and many, many others. It became increasingly more about them than about accuracy in reporting or investigative journalism. Their salaries became enormous, and their egos grew commensurately.

They were becoming the news, not reporting the news - and they embraced this. Unfortunately, this has led to the decimation of media professionalism and credibility. Their legacy has been the ruination of their profession, and loss of public trust. Worse, they have contributed to a decline in American society. They won't see it that way, of course, but they have.

Then along comes Trump, who told them they are incompetent and dishonest, and ridicules them for not doing their jobs - and for their bias. He doesn't treat them like important celebrities. He coins the phrase ‘fake news’, and then shows in instance after instance how that phrase accurately depicts what they've been doing. In short, he's pushing them back to being what they are supposed to be, non-celebrity professionals whose job is to investigate and accurately report the news without bias and without fanfare.

They hate him for that, and that's what is motivating their over the top rhetoric.

So I guess Roosevelt was really just Hitler fighting Hitler.

You could add that Hitler became very wealthy as chancellor of Germany. Book sales, copyright of his image used on postage stamps, etc. From being a “community organizer”, state senator, US Senator, & President, Obama seems to have amassed quite a fortune as a government employee. Same goes for the Clintons.

Well, of course. The Hitler/dictator meme was in the talking points memo faxed by the DNC/Soros groups to all of the LSM.

I can see Basil Fawlty screaming: “This is EXACTLY how Nazi Germany got started!”

Ted Kennedy I can understand as being a Dem/socialist/communist but Ted Nugent?

I’ve heard him many times on Hannity and other shows. He is a Republican, pro-gun rights, pro-hunting, conservative NRA member, and against drugs. I’ve never seen him as being a willing supporter of true fascism like the Dems are.
