The opponents note that it will further entrench incumbents, further exaggerate the role of our biased media, and freeze out groups (like the NRA or, on the other side, anti-globalism groups) that don't have enough clout with the mainstream press to get their positions fairly and impartially heard.

This should be a Republican litmus test. You listening, Bill Cooper?
