Oh, don't worry, he did strengthen his grip on the State media as well. By reverting a change made by one of his predecessor with the stated goal of lessening the grip: He now nominates the alpha of the Media Watchdogs.

Oh, to those politicians who considered it worthy to sell out our artistic freedoms to the censor, DOOM IS COMING.
Me, all I'll do is write a horror/sci-fi satire of this nonsense that will get you remembered in SF history as the tyrants you are, for a hundred, maybe a thousand years.
Your children will grow ashamed of you, your nation forsake you, your lackeys murder you. Never shall you know restful sleep as long as I live or as long as these laws exist.
Our nation as well as myself will make like a 1980s "video nasty" as I Spit On Your Grave.
Know this, tyrants, as my desperate and harrowing curse of a man denied his right to speak without being charged for each word he utters.
Hell Hasn't Earned My TearsStay classy Australia.
Well, at least you aren't the F in PIIGS. Okay, well there is no F. Cheer up! Maybe Sarko will go this time around. I'll follow the election closely, mostly because I want to see some guy who will tear down our precious borders and created a EUROPEAN FEDERATION!
That's too hopeful, right?
Wait... you said NON-state? Oh. At least our Rupert Murdoch *grrrr* owned media picks someone new each year. But still... Murdoch *grrrr*.
C'est la vie mon ami. Je ne crois pas que l'historie aimer le résultat. (not bad, huh, for a Brit?)
