In reality it is little different than the control of the dictators of the media in Russia, China, and a growing number of number of European countries such as Hungry, Poland, Romania, Turkey, etc. that have fallen into the control of right wing extremist regimes. It is disturbing to hear people accept the nonsense that there is no difference between the progressives and conservative. The conservatives are all about control and despise the progressives unacceptance of dogmatic control. The difference is as dramatic as between truth and lies. Conservatives demand unwavering simplistic dogma and see freedom of thought as a chaotic ramblings rather than an unending search for truth and greater understanding.
