Trump does not run the news networks. The propaganda is on the networks themselves.
What does the media do to make America more authoritarian?
On the elections level, they support the authoritarian candidate no matter what. They've turned the country into a race war and a gender war, and these have been used to galvanize support for authoritarian politics and demonize liberty politics. They've rewritten history at virtually every level. They've convinced people that the German national socialists of the 40s were not socialists, and they have used this lie to paint the western values derived from the Enlightenment as right-wing extremism. They have brainwashed the masses to loathe Christians who don't want to bake a gay wedding cake while defending Islamists who throw gays off buildings.
This is only the beginning and none of it comes close to their biggest lie: that they tell the truth.
So no-one gets to contest your views and decisions in public then? Never get asked a tough question? Ok, Putin
They have the fullest right to do so. And they will do so. And if I don't live up to their standards they will vote me out. Putin is an entirely different situation since Russians don't actually have the right to protest him and he is unelected.
Trump is so far the most accessible president. Accessible is not the same as playing theater with corrupt media organizations.
Next you will be saying Trump should abolish the NY Times.
If you think that, you don't consider the things I say much.
