In my opinion, Trump's warning that the media will be silenced is useless because that horse and carriage had already left the barn a long time ago. The 'mainstream media' is a phrase coined by Goebbels in 1932 referring to that which Hitler's regime strove to silence, and we still refer to our large media networks as mainstream media that we once depended on to write the truth; in the 1970s, Ayres decided to dismantle it after Nixon's loss, their view began to permeate our news still through others like Murdoch, and now the few large media companies spew news skewed to the neoliberals world view guiding our country/politics with misinformation and the billionaires driving this carriage reflects the mantra of tyrants. If allowed, Trump and others could shut down various media forms that speak the truth, such as Thom Hartmann. Therefore, we should take heart, as Jefferson did, and persevere. Carol Heasley
