They all took over the press in their respective countries in order to control what their populace believed. This has been a strategy of some of the most vial perpatrators of crimes against humanity. Here is a brief list. 1. Adolf Hitler- Joseph Geobbels was his propaganda minister and took over complete control of radio, press, cinema and theater in 1933, he was also elected to the German Parliment and paved the way for Hitler's rise to power. The Autrocities are to many to count after Hitler took control but we all know what he was responsible for. 2.Josef Stalin- Came to power in the years after Lenin died and purged (murdered) the communist party of any one who held the slightest inclanation of leaning away from communism or who he felt was an aristocrat. The amount of jews, christians and gypsies murdered under stalin has never really had an accurate count ( the russians did not keep records like the germans) but his propoganda machine and his murderer's will was feared in the USSR and the countries handed to him by FDR and Truman. 3. Mao Zedong (Anita's favorite)- Tortured the chinese people for 30 years, murdered millions of his own people including pregnant women and older generation chinese to enforce population control. (his body count has never been fully accessed) Put on great parades for the rest of the world to fear, we kicked his a** in Korea even though the left will not admit it. Him and stalin actually hated each other. Just three examples of state controlled press and what eventually happened to peoples oppressed under them. as much as I despise the left leaning media for not doing their job, I would lay my life on the line like countless ones before me have in order to protect them. The media is the ultimate check against government and the administration has them in their hands. But they will pay a price for it, the media is striking back led by Fox News and Talk Radio. They can play the timeout game if they want to with Fox but it will not work. It didn't work for Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan Bush Sr., Clinton and Bush Jr. and it won't work for the OBAMANATION. My advice to the Blue Dogs in Office is don't follow the administration it will lead to political suicide. As Americans we have to remind the press everyday why they have failed in recent decades and remind them why we need them.
