Liberal media bias example No. 1,678,987.
Freedom of the Press Foundation executive director Trevor Timm posted something interesting last night. There are actually remarkable similarities in what Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are proposing in terms of controlling the Internet to combat radical Islamic terror, but you wouldn’t know it from the one-sided coverage of Trump. Check it out:

Clinton wants to “deny them online space”:
While Trump is for “closing up that internet up in some ways”:
Both discounted “freedom of speech.”
And Timm is correct that it’s Trump who’s getting mocked over it:

Sorry Donald Trump. Bill Gates can't "close up" the internet. His Bing search engine doesn't even know how 🙂 pic.twitter.com/FLD7dDxYTc
