Fascism! This is raw fascism!
FDR & Democrats openly admired Stalin but did not automatically hate Hitler and Mussolini. Fascist regimes got things done & dealt with troublesome critics, too.
FDR instituted the Fairness Doctrine while claiming the bully pulpit which radio afforded. What’s happening to NRA supporters now is an old Democrat practice.
I think the Fairness doctrine was put in place to attempt to rein in the blatant one-sidedness of radio under FDR. It was created in 1949, but had the effect of keeping conservative thought off the air.
Why? Because the networks were already bastions of Progressivism, and their underlying assumptions and gatekeeping advanced the Progressive agenda.
