Reagan never ruled on my country and it's the same.
Radio stations play the same songs over and over again.
Oh yes he did. The President of the United States is also the President of America's vassals.

I don't know enough about other countries to make an intelligent comment.
On the other hand, I could write a book on how Reagan screwed up the US media.
Before him, kids' cartoons were highly regulated. After he came in, you started seeing full length commercials like "GI Joe" and "The Transformers."
Cable was getting off the ground at the time, and the FCC could have reigned in Fox News.
How dare you criticize GI Joe
