But the difference is that that was used as an excuse to
shut down the non govt press. Not possible with Trump.

Interesting watching that doco series,
True Evil: The Making Of A Nazi : Goebbels
where they made the point that Goebbels
went for a govt TV and radio monopoly at
that time, and that Britain did the same
thing with the BBC at that time.

I'm sure they said that back in Hitler's day too. Trump has already
threatened to pull NBC's broadcasting license. He doesn't understand
that NBC is mostly a network and they don't hold the licenses, except
for the few stations that are owned directly by them. That threat is
clearly headed in the direction of trying to control the press or
shut them down.
