And did I dream up the imperiled voices of Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh wailing through the speakers of an AM radio about libs imposing the fairness doctrine? Flash forward to now, and isn't Trump making the same exact argument the liberals were making then? That these media outlets were too one-sided and misinformation was effecting elections? That things needed to be more balanced? It's wildly comical.

You are either knowingly lying or you haven't read the executive order. It does not change any law. It ask the FTC to clarify the regulation as to whether or not forums that act with a political bias (such as Twitter in this case) are covered by the law.

It seems you misread my post. That it doesn't change any law was my point. In other words, it does nothing to degrow government. But nevermind any of that. Let's try a different direction. Which one of the following statements is more true?

A) Donald Trump signed this executive order because he truly believes that these government protections are a bane to private enterprise, and he felt this EO would help private enterprise operate more freely, with less governmental interference. 

B) Donald Trump signed this executive order in a fit of vindictiveness, in an attempt to force the will of government on a private enterprise.
