"We're going to have to figure out the OANN and Newsmax problem – you know, that these companies have freedom of speech, but I'm not sure we need Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and such to be bringing them into tens of millions of homes," Stamos said Sunday in a CNN interview, suggesting that the conservative news outlets be banned by cable TV carriers. "This is allowing people to seek out information if they really want to, but not pushing it into their faces, I think, is where we're going to have to go here."

As Fox News fell out of favor with devout Trump supporters for some of its post-election coverage – which Stamos called introducing "realism" in its reporting – OANN and Newsmax outflanked Fox “on the right” and allowed viewers to "put themselves into a sealed ecosystem,” he argued.

"That becomes a huge challenge of figuring out, how do you bring those people back into the mainstream..."

And?

One person’s opinion, meaningless, irrelevant, representative of nothing.

If we need 2 different platforms for all of this, including banking doing business, we should have 2 countries.

Tribalism at its "finest". Problem is one tribe now believes it has the right and moral obligation to silence the voices of the other(s). Seems like they at least have the technology to pull it off. Or, is it all a sham right out of the gates? Are we all watching one never-ending WWF main event?

They're all on the same team, if you ask me. They let us know that under no certain terms years ago the world was their battlefield.

Pretty sure they're gonna label anyone who doesn't just go along with the agendas and mainstream narratives of our new communist overlords domestic terrorists in the interest of shutting down any conversation that doesn't involve gleefully licking boots.

And real terrorists they threw our military under the bus for...

So? Lotta pliant sheep on the right hand side of the aisle. A lot of media outlets catering to those who hold extreme views. And they constantly stoke the fire. Not surprised a lot of righties find Fox too liberal now.

How does that compare to a crazy president saying that the media is an enemy of the state?
