Mark Steyn himself has some observations on the reasons why a declining MSM would have a vested interest in electing an individual who might well be inclined to impose restrictions on “alternative” media. (Certainly the Obamabots attempts to interfere with radio interviews, to get the justice dept. to bar an Ayers/Obama ad and to get the (lawyer heavy) “truth squad” in Missouri up and running…are all worrying signs for the future of “free speech”.)
I think this is really the worrying thing, that old media, which is on the ropes in terms of its market share, if they can drag their guy across the finish line, and it took them some effort in the primary season, if they can drag their guy across the finish line, I think you’re going to see a lot of attempts by the Pelosi-Obama left-wing government to regulate the internet and talk radio and all kinds of other things. I think this is in a sense a defensive play by the mainstream media.
