Henry Ford also refused to build military aircraft, vehicles, tanks or anything else at the beginning of WW2 and had to be removed from his position of ownership of the Ford Motor Company by his wife and other family members on the Board of Directors as well as shareholders in the Corporation under pressure of the U.S. government. His grandson Henry Ford II was put in the head position after being released from the Navy and discovered that the old man had been running the company by cooking the books and almost by personal decree instead of by sound financial and business practices. Sound familiar?

Oh boy, Tom. Yes. That guy has always given me the heebyjeebies. The Ford/ Hitler, Musk/Trump is just too frightening to ignore. The NYT was reluctantly forced to rewrite it's Trump Veterans Day headline like, three times. Telemundo/Univision is taking a liking to T-Runp. Their new owner looks to be a bit of a fascistic personality.

Perhaps the major media, NYT reluctantly, is finally getting scared and starting to pay attention to what is really news. They also had better start thinking of how tenuous their Constitutionally mandated "Freedom of the Press" has become. Being told what to say might just be their future if they don't get their shit together fast.
