YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe FCC is now going after Comcast for so-called “news distortion” after MSNBC didn’t carry a White House press briefing on deportations. Coincidence? Not likely—especially when the complaint came straight from inside the White House.
This isn’t a one-off. Trump’s been on a rampage against the press—attacking 60 Minutes, blacklisting outlets, and weaponizing federal agencies against factual reporting.
It’s not just petty. It’s textbook authoritarianism.
Don breaks down the latest assault on the free press, why this isn’t just about cable news, and what we can actually do as this crosses into full-blown fascist behavior.
Because when power fears facts, everyone should be paying attention.
