Freedom of press is not the same as being “forced” to listen to it.
The US has always had demagogues and tabloids. Let them keep spewing stuff, that’s part of the deal.
The problem now is that the current forums (social media) aren’t fair public spaces, but biased, engagement driven hellholes unfairly shielded by the law; the far-right is just particularly good at exploiting it. They thrive because their content is being prioritized in feeds over good sources (because it’s algorithmically engaging).
