This a really interesting thought. I do wonder how much the quantity “big enough” would have to be in this case.
With respect to adding fact checking, I 100% agree with you, but I’m conflicted over whether or not censoring should be a thing, because I think that censoring people is generally wrong, but also feel that it’s important to discourage inciting violence.

No matter where he goes, reporters will broadcast the hell out of it. All else fails, the white house has its own webpage that has historically been used to communicate with the public.
