Simply don't report on the bullsh.t stuff right-wingers brag about. Every mention - even saying "OMG how racist.. " is a win for them, it is Airtime and Newsmention. Just ignore the crazy stuff, only report about the moderate ideas - as media does with leftwingers since like 4ever. They will say, it's cencorship. Also something, media should ignore
