Trump should propose implementing a Fairness Doctrine on all those sites. The very same one the Left has long been whining about wanting to slap on broadcasters.

Watch them howl and wail like stuck pigs.

No, he shouldn't. Ever. He can tweet about how unfair they are, how rigged they are, call them out by name, whatever. He can encourage people to use other media if he wants. But there's no way in hell anyone on this forum should be supporting government interference of the internet.

No need for a fairness doctrine, which would require the government to define “fair”. Simpler to ban them from censoring political content, as with the telephone company. The free enterprisers won’t like this, but the left cannot be allowed to monopolize all the levers of power.

Since Facebook has over a billion users, Google has over 90% of all search traffic, it is easy to say “you’re so big, you’re a utility now”.
