"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right." — George Orwell, 1984

They don't need to argue. If a person makes good arguments such as Katie Halper, Joy Reid, Brianna Joy Gray, and many other journalists, they simply get fired and never invited back. They decide who gets to argue.
