How dare they defend themselves against lies and propaganda!
Oh, that's right. It's only "propaganda" if it's the other guys.
The Left is most comfortable with a monopoly on information. Hence the attacks on speakers on colleges, destruction of opposing newspapers, and all the rest. You can also bet that one of the first things on the agenda of a Democratic congress would be to restore a "Fairness Doctrine" with some teeth in it, and wipe every last wet bit of talk radio out of existence.
