Our authoritarian Federal Government is now telling journalists to say nice things about the federal government or they will lose their broadcast licenses.
this is of course utterly unconstitutional, wrong, and walking us into totalitarianism.
No actual conservative can vote Republican anymore. No Republican can be an actual conservative. Those days are over. It's democracy/the Constitution vs the Republican Party.

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.
The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.
And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.
The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves.
It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.
When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen.
Time for change!
