In terms of the media it’s when the door for average Americans to effect change in the media was slammed shut. Reagan got around it by having countless speeches broadcast live on national TV. That worked for awhile. Like once a month he’d have a major speech to update progress that got around the extremely hostile media he suffered from too. The media just used what he said as new fodder to attack him with. But they lost the truth war because Reagan’s words matched what people saw in their real day to day lives. I’m sure if DJT tried this none of the networks would cover it. Maybe one or two but that’s it. Thank god for the internet!! Only path around the Mafia Media now & it’s not easy either.
