It’s a typical tactic of the progressives; shut up, or at least minimize, presentation of the opposing view at all costs. This is particularly important when the progressive’s argument is completely unsupported by fact.
Which is basically all the time!
Agree. The other tactic is to say whatever you want when asked a question. It doesn’t matter what the question is, just get your talking points out there. This is particularly annoying on FoxNews. I wish they would just cut the mike when Libs start spouting talking points or overshouting the Conservatives on any given show.
