That sounds great in theory, but then the only people covering would be literal propaganda networks.

They fold like cheap umbrellas in a storm - how long do you think they'd hold out if only the crap networks were covering them? They're desperate for the validation of legacy media outlets, even if they pretend they aren't.

Exactly. Deprive them of air, and cover everything else for a change. Don't worry, what they are generating right now is mostly hot air - the actual news is still out there.

“The Nazis wanted Germans to support the Nazi dictatorship and believe in Nazi ideas. To accomplish this goal, they tried to control forms of communication through censorship and propaganda.”
