In George Orwell's "1984", Emanuel Goldstein gets 2 minutes of hate. On today's legacy media, Trump gets almost 24 straight hours of hate. CNN seems to cover only Trump, with some small time slots left for ads.

Trump is the excuse for tearing down the Constitution. I grew up in Montana in the 1950's and 1960's. If someone had told me then that the FBI and CIA would be "suggesting" stories to be suppressed, and gaining cooperation from the American media, I would not have believed it. Further, suppressing stories for the Feds, and not even covering it when the truth comes out, is beyond my imagination. This is all justified to protect "our democracy," a dog whistle for single party domination, Chicago style.
The argument is exactly the same as the one the State of Mississippi made in Norwood v Harrison in 1973. The left's argument is that it's OK for the federal government to encourage private companies to censor, as long as the federal government does not directly censor things itself. Mississippi's argument was it was OK for them to buy books for private schools that were discriminating, as long as the state wasn’t discriminating itself. Mississippi lost. So should the left, as the left's argument is exactly the same as Mississippi's. The only difference is that the left is arguing about the 1st Amendment instead of the 14th Amendment.
