I don’t support that kind of government censorship.

Instead, why not revive the fairness doctrine? Would love to see FOX grapple with that challenge.

Expose the Heritage foundation’s complicity in judicial ethics problems, among other misdeeds, and utilize civil suits and criminal prosecutions only if appropriate.

Otherwise, we are no better than the fascists we strive to resist.
