Trump should propose implementing a Fairness Doctrine on all those sites.

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.

I disagree.

The most basic function of our government is to enforce the Constitution. When free speech is being abridged on sites that have been recognized as primary means of communication and as public forms, the government can and should step in. I hope the new Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, addresses this situation.

Dude, I’m trolling them, just like Trump does.

Just proposing putting them under the same Fairness Doctrine that they want to put on others will cause their heads to explode.

Just like Trump did to Hillary on flag burning yesterday.
