    Has any Fox New personality suggested we nationalize the New Yorker yet, to defend Steve Bannon's First Amendment rights to a platform?

        Probably not the right magazine since @NewYorker appears to be afraid of contrary ideas, even when they are so obviously bad ones. 🤔

        The left has long been complaining about NYT & New Yorker elevating white nationalists. Is NPRing influential corporate-owned media a bad idea if it comes from Laura Ingraham & Dinesh D'Souza?🤔 </bold progressive take>pic.twitter.com/t0RKCEIplY

        No. It’s always a bad idea. Europe used to have state owned television and radio. Even though the news was OK, the other content lacked creativity and multitude.
