Top 10 Conservative Idiots: The Complete Second Season (So Far) (Original Post)

OP
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)1. this would be entertaining if it weren't so massively depressing.....
combination of Idiocracy and a neo-Riech Press Chamber?
you don't think Bannon has something like this in mind:
Enemies of the People....
The Propaganda Ministry, through its Reich Press Chamber, assumed control over the Reich Association of the German Press, the guild which regulated entry into the profession.
Under the new Editors Law of October 4, 1933, the association kept registries of racially pure editors and journalists, and excluded Jews and those married to Jews from the profession. Propaganda Ministry officials expected editors and journalists, who had to register with the Reich Press Chamber to work in the field, to follow the mandates and instructions handed down by the ministry. In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit anything calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.
The Propaganda Ministry aimed further to control the content of news and editorial pages through directives distributed in daily conferences in Berlin and transmitted via the Party propaganda offices to regional or local papers. Detailed guidelines stated what stories could or could not be reported and how to report the news.
Journalists or editors who failed to follow these instructions could be fired or, if believed to be acting with intent to harm Germany, sent to a concentration camp. Rather than suppressing news, the Nazi propaganda apparatus instead sought to tightly control its flow and interpretation and to deny access to alternative sources of news.
