      This certainly seems… problematic. What would “going after” these stations and hosts even look like? Would they be prohibited from discussing certain topics, or operating entirely? Is it only when they’re spreading misinformation? Aside from the obvious 1A issues, how would you prevent abuse when power swings the other way and it’s now the right deciding who to go after?

          I’m sorry but I have no idea what you’re talking about. Can you point to an example where freedom of speech on the left has been restricted?

      I heard Glen Beck blabbing about how current events are aligned with end time prophecy today. It’s fucking crazy how these morons think, and even crazier that they have a nationwide megaphone.
