Reactionaries, of course, have their own safe spaces in the MSM, starting with Fox News. That’s not good enough; they need to silence the left, as well. Reinstating the Fairness Doctrine isn’t going to have any appeal for Rupert Murdoch, so that’s out. What can a good reactionary do?
There are two options. The first is the Hungarian template: win power; subject the left-leaning MSM to as much regulatory harassment as possible; and get your wealthy allies to buy any TV network or publication that supports the left. The second is to get the Supreme Court to change its position on libel law, and then start filing suits to ruin the MSM. Justice Thomas, for one, would be happy to oblige you.
Your problem is that there may not be enough obscenely rich reactionaries out there to buy out Jeff Bezos, let alone the large corporations that run the TV networks, and First Amendment jurisprudence is well-established; in other words, America ain’t Hungary. Barring a national emergency that permits you to throw the First Amendment out the window, becoming the American Orban isn’t going to be easy. That doesn’t mean you won’t try, however. Your constituents will demand it.
