Yup. Theyd also decide which media sources would be gone after. It would be the smaller upstarts that are getting too big and threatening the corporate narrative.

Ministry of Truth + regulatory capture.

But then Reagan came along and got rid of the Fairness Doctrine, leading to the rise of Faux News, the right wing propaganda network.

We used to have a law on the books called the Fairness Doctrine, that made it law that in the news you had to present both sides of an argument and give them equal time, and you had to make it known that opinion pieces were just that: opinion, not proven fact. That alone would cripple Faux News.
No it wouldn't. It never applied to cable! The FCC has no jurisdiction on cable!
