lol the thing is though the internet cannot be properly moderated, so to remove its influence from people it has to be removed
as for the media control, well we already have that there's things like the PAB (public affairs bureau) which already has the power to collect, monitor, and if given the permission because of some kind of extreme measure, censor any media they think needs to be censored
really the only thing obama doesn't have the power to completely control in the time of a crisis IS the internet (and what people think xD but im sure their working on solving that lol)
with the PAB monitoring the media, the war measures act (not sure if its called that in the US), and things like marshal law the government looks like its aiming to have the power to completely control what information people are given
