If those in charge of our society — politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television — can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.

Newsman:  Tonight on Action McNews!  An exclusive interview with President Trump.  Newswoman to Trump:  Sir, do you have any evidence to support your recent claimms of election rigging?  Trump:  Quiet, Piggy!  If you had a good brain like me, you'd understand--when Republicans lose, the election was rigged.  Whne they win, it was not.  It's just science!  (Trump falls asleep.)  Newswoman:  Yes, sir, but can you give us any--er--uh--sir?  Biff, the President appears to have fallen asleep, again.  Newsman:  He did promise a war on woke.  (Stephen Miller steps in front of the camera.)  Miller:  Excuse me.  These are more disgusting lies from the fake news media.  The President is merely resting his eyes.  This interview is over.  (Camera goes dark.)  Newsman:  Well, Wanda, he is a busy man who looks at a lot of things.  His eyes must need a lot of rest.  Newswoman:  Okay.

Newsman:  Special guest Bari Weiss explains why they should not.  Newswoman:  And also why we will both be unemployed soon.  Newsman:  Wait, what?  Newswoman:  First, these messages.
