Fascist play 101
The end goal...
Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose. Goebbels.

Though probably it could be risky to access either from work computers.

(10,216 posts)When I was in the Navy, the CNO came out and ordered every sailor and naval officer not to read a certain book that was highly critical of the Navy and that CNO. The chain of command, memos and newsletters passed the word about this direct order.
You can bet every damn sailor and officer read that book. He guaranteed sales of that book by outlawing it. I still have it on my book shelf somewhere and I worked in the Pentagon at the time.
Trump has just guranteed readership by every federal worker of those newspapers. He has single handedly hugely increased those paper's circulation.
I think I'll get a paid subscription to both.
