Is this a good idea? Giving "fair time" to not only YouTube malcontents, but also actively bad actors i.e. state funded shills?

I don't see how this could be implemented to the best interest of the USA without "censorship" being involved at some point.

As usual, the problem is who gets to decide "the best interests of the USA" in practice.

How is it any different than letting them use the mail? You can't combine the First Amendment with censorship.
