    You don’t even realize the sheer hypocrisy in this post?

    He said she gets most of her news from Twitter. That’s moronic. End of story.

    why? are they tax exempt?

    do they require an FCC license?

    do they make use of limited Federally owned broadcast spectrum?

    Can we now admit Republicans no longer are for limited government. That ship sailed long ago?

    LOL....no you most certainly did not say WHY they were removed or should be removed, only that you were ok with it.

    Your blatant avoidance is enough for me.....go spread fake outrage elsewhere.

    Fairness would be great. I think Breitbart, TheGatewayPundit etc. should be forced to publish left wing opinion pieces. Are you game?

    agreed.

    Fox News, Breitbart, Infowars, should be required to give equal airtime to Liberal Progressive stories.

    I would recommend that Twitter IMMEDIATELY move out of the USA if The FCC tried to regulate them.

    Exactly.

    And, if he even tried to they could just move their headquarters out of the country.

    That's the way I'm taking it..... the righties always expect you to defend, while rarely offering their own opinions on tangible topics...

    Unless the fact checkers are calling anything they disagree with a lie? If the Fact Checker donates to Democrat candidates, that's a conflict of interest. And will they accurately fact check EVERYONE, or only who they want to hurt? In that case, YES, they would be effecting an election far more than Russian Facebook troll ads ever could. Recall, the MSM lied for 3 years about Russia.

    Fox gives much more air time to libs than MSNBC gives to conservatives.

    LOL... nobody recalls that except the alt-right element... they may have gotten a couple of things wrong, but the great majority either correct or unproven either way (so far)...

    Then maybe MSNBC would have to give Rush Limbaugh a show?

    I have no idea who's not in the bag on Fox (assuming Cavuto, Wallace, and that Judge dude from the little I follow that element), but MSNBC has plenty of people regularly on the air who still identify as conservative, but wouldn't be caught dead endorsing Trump or Trumpism...

    If you want to equate conservatism with Trumpism, then that's a different argument for a different day...

    What's funny is that Limbaugh and other conservatives *claimed* that Obama was trying to do this and they were OUTRAGED at this attack on the 1st Amendment. Of course, Obama wasn't trying to do anything of the sort, but Trump wants to do the same thing to social media, and suddenly they are fine with it.

    Yes, MSNBC searches high and low for the few disgruntled ex-Republicans that exist. They even have Joe Scarborough hosting a show. Joe has gone from being a Reagan Republican to a Nancy Pelosi butt kisser. What a guy!

    I do not know.

    Perhaps he can give a federal grant to Minds or Bitchute. There is more then one way to end Leftist monopoly.

    Well, Trump and his followers never were big fans of the free market. Would could be more "conservative" than using taxpayer money to try to bring about an equality of outcome where liberty has "failed"?

    I hope he can end Leftist Totalitarian control of Social Media by any means. Only time will tell.
