During a Friday CPAC appearance, FCC Chair Brendan Carr bragged that he’s remaking the media by pushing out left-leaning figures, declaring, “[President Donald] Trump is winning.”

“When he ran for office, he ran directly at the fake news media,” said Carr. “He said, ‘You don’t get to decide what we say, what we think, how we’re gonna vote inside the voting booth.’ President Trump took on the fake news media, and President Trump is winning.”

“Look at the results so far,” he continued. “PBS — defunded. NPR — defunded. Joy Reid — gone from MSNBC. Sleepy-eyed Chuck Todd — gone. Jim Acosta — gone. John Dickerson — gone.” “[Stephen] Colbert is leaving,” Carr continued. “CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough, CNN is gonna have new ownership as well.” After this list, cheers could be heard from the audience.

“So, we’re not at the point yet where we’re raising the ‘mission accomplished’ flag, but President Trump is taking on the fake news media, and President Trump is winning,” he concluded.

1. Only MAGA propaganda is allowed.

Lies and more lies.
Constantly.

2. I don't even listen to npr anymore, the shows I want to listen to

are all on during hours when I'm working.
As for the others- stopped watching cbs a long time ago, and usually only caught cnn and msnbc if I was at my mom's. Watch local news for the weather.
With more and more people getting their news from you tubers and other streaming sources, carrs acceleration of the death of traditional news sources may not have as much of an impact as he thinks it does.

3. My response to Mr. Carr.

4. Carr is an irredeemable...

... asshole who is calling blatant censorship, "WINNING". "Fake News" is their cynical euphemism for "TRUTH". Can't wait until Carr is "pushed out". Preferably from his office.

5. If he were in Russia, a window perhaps?

6. Defenestration...

... was top of mind, as was a top floor.

7. Carr is a shit goblin.

The FCC is just behind the DOJ in the "federal agency that has been furthest removed from its intended mission" award.

The proud politicization of what is supposed to be an unbiased regulatory agency serving the American people is nauseating.

8. A little fascism from the FCC chair ?

[Justice matters.]

9. Dicktator Drumpf is winning?!?

And the American people is losing their power of the purse due to out-of-control inflation, losing their investments, many their farms, soon their low-paying jobs and then what? Their rights to protest and to vote?

10. Looks like Tmurp is going to '...decide what we say and what we think' instead

11. 1984 is here

The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue) is the ministry of propaganda. As with the other ministries in the novel, the name Ministry of Truth is a deliberate misnomer because in reality, it serves the opposite: It is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. However, like the other ministries, the name is also apt because it decides what "truth" is in Oceania.

As well as administering "truth", the ministry spreads a new language amongst the populace called Newspeak, in which, for example, "truth" is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants. In keeping with the concept of doublethink, the ministry is thus aptly named in that it creates/manufactures "truth" in the Newspeak sense of the word. The book describes the doctoring of historical records to show a government-approved version of events. Wiki
