Check out the analysis of 200 prime-time debates done by peeing human. Republic, India TV, Zee News, ABP News, Aaj Tak, Times Now, Sudarshan News and countless regional channels are pro-govt. NDTV is the last channel standing.

And none of those are media channels, and are extremely small when it comes to circulation.

Essentially if you even know of them, you are not part of the mainstream audience.

Fascism is not a word you make up and throw about willy-nilly. It describes a specific form of authoritarian government.

Fascism is a state of mind, and it occurs at many levels.

To draw a gender-parallel, if it occurs at the level of head of household, it's called male-chauvinism. If it occurs at level of religion, it is called patriarchy.

To draw a leader-parallel, if it occurs at level of subreddit, it's called mod-abuse. If it occurs at level of government, it's called fascism.

They all represent the same thing - power/control gone to head.

And it is ironically hilarious how a subreddit that bans/censors/tramples opposing/minority views constantly criticizes the government of the same.
