1. Trump does that, the news will be even more NEGATIVE.......

He cannot order the FCC to revoke the broadcast licenses of stations who report the news.

Trump behaves like a DICKTATOR, it will be reported on. That goes for the Internet, newspapers, al over the place. He cannot stop the truth from being spoken.

2. That is how dictators slowly take full control - close the media 1st

6. His "authoritarian perspective" is worse -- it's a transition to totalitarianism. Arendt was right.

I'm glad he raises the issue, but he could add some context.
