  1. When Obama abolished the Fairness Doctrine, the mask slipped. He green-lit the abandonment of pretense, and the mask slipped all the way off. I'm sure Obama felt like this was good for him, which it was, because all the networks, save one, worshipped him, and he used his bully pulpit to demonize that network, while sending his thugs to audit, surveil, and otherwise harass reporters critical of him and his evil administration. But I think Obama set the stage for the destruction of cable and other legacy news. He reveled in his power while in office and even after, but the media that were once so good at manufacturing consent behind their pretense of professionalism and objectivity are now discredited. The tail still wags the dog to an alarming degree, but the establishment is also alarmed by the decreasing length of time their big lies last. Now that they can wear their hearts on their sleeves, while pretending to be the same "objective" news, they're breaking the illusion that's been maintained for decades. Increasingly naked censorship works for a while, but the public's developing immunity.
