@freezenet Do not interrupt your opponent while he is making a mistake. Getting news off social media is a win for the political opposition. If people have to go visit actual news websites, they might just broaden their sources beyond whatever Facebook and its evil spawn feed them.

@freezenet This is like threatening someone by cutting off your own finger, and when that doesn't work threaten to cut off all the rest. Crazy.

@Norobiik Rod Sims suggestion of censoring the media has to be the single worst suggestion I've seen yet in this debate. Not only is it a terrible move if the government were to somehow find a path forward with this concept, but just finding a constitutional method of even implementing such a concept seems pretty far fetched. It would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.
