What's this?

Here's the problem with that... People don't actually learn when you refute

There's literally research on this. If you let her on the air and let her tell the lie and then refute it later, many people still believe the lie is true. It gets worse the more times they hear the lie. That's how Trump is able to take statements that are simply untrue, repeat them over and over again, and his followers will believe they are true.

Sunlight isn't the best disinfectant. Preventing people from hearing lies is the best disinfectant.
