U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas
"Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us."
I don't think it is too much of a stretch to envision a time when the gov't takes the practices they are doing in the article and slowly builds them up to a point that they are the dominant producers of the very news and information Americans are getting. This means real restriction of free thought if your news is gov't propoganda to make you follow their policies benignly. How clearer can this most dangerous of threats to democracy be.
