Brace yourself! Keith Olbermann throws icy water on the fond dreams of anyone who’s looking forward to seeing less of Trump after the election. The chilling news is a necessary wake-up call, in light of Trump’s plans to start a television network. For those who reckon that Trump TV is merely a sideline for the loser of the election, this piece may come as a shock. Keith makes the case that Trump is laying the groundwork for government -run media.
You needn’t be Katy Tur to realize that Trump, who once courted the media, has now launched a campaign against the free press – and he’s iffy on the First Amendment. A large number of Trump’s followers no longer trust the “lamestream media” and have no interest in voices other than Trump’s and his alt-right cronies.
Before you dismiss the idea, consider the dictators Trump admires, whose subjects often believe the government is protecting them by censoring unapproved material.
If it all sounds far fetched to you now, tell me what you think after Keith breaks it all down.
