Fantastic! Brilliant! “Regulating the Media” – now there’s an idea.
Let’s hire a gaggle of left-wing luvvies to “regulate”….today our press, tomorrow our culture.
Watch them channel Andrei Zhdanov, the Cultural Commissar for Stalin from 1946, ensuring all media and cultural output conforms to the party line.
Failure to conform isn’t an option.
