Should links to so called "Main Stream Media" be blocked?

Or alternatively, should we all refrain from linking to, or otherwise giving attention to, the old media? Also falsely called "Main Stream" (if half the country sided against them, they are not really mainstream).
The only thing that keeps the going, that keeps them sustained and revenue ticking over, is attention.
I submit ever man should make it his duty to ignore the old media as hard as possible. He should deny this enemy all aid -- and their aid is attention.
He should avoid ever linking to them, or reading their articles, or watching their shows. He should be disconnected from them. Whatever he hears about them should come indirect from decentralized media, be it a blog post from Roosh, a periscope by Cernovich, a tweet or tweet-like post from other online personalities you like.
He should use decentralized media whenever he can. He should use GNU-social whenever he can instead of twitter. He should post on his website or a forum instead of facebook. And he should resist the incursion of old media into his life whenever he can.
As for the poll, that's to raise the question: if places like stormfront, or even naughtynomad, are blocked as they aren't considered friends of the forum, should that rule not be applied to oldmedia sites too?
Thoughts?

No, but there should be an (((echo))) around them!

I say no. A man shouldn't be afraid of the truth or the desire to expose falsehood. Occasionally old media writes good content. No point in a blanket ban. Just call the balls and strikes as they are pitched. No need to engage in SJW censorship.

^ It's not censorship any more than blocking stormfront is censorship. It's exclusion and distancing.
Their whole job is to fabricate bullshit to get people riled up and thereby boost media consumption. Whenever we get riled up by their latest shit, we submit to them.
We should be disconnected from, and in separate spheres to them. We should call watchers of oldmedia "drones" or "plugged in zombies".
I'm not talking about banning speech about them, but giving support to their products.

We should minimize the amount of clicks and views they get.
The thread starter should give a summary and some choice quotes, and if further reading is required put the article on archive.is and link it from there.

No.
Just quote the whole article, and provide a link. If need be, use archive link.
We've been doing this for quite a while now.
Don't let the newbie threads with links/vids and no info misguide you.

Between adblock and using archive.is, I think that is a good balance between not talking about them at all and negating their influence.

No.
Only leftists ignore what the other side says, in order to live in a safe echo chamber.

^Missing the point. Denying ad revenue is not "living in a bubble".
I think encouraged behaviours are better than a blanket ban. If no ban comes down then I will personally
only post links with strikethrough when linking to
old-media sites.
Whether people know specifically why or not, it will differentiate normal links obviously enough that people will check the address and make their own decision before clicking on it.
Not that I link to them often, if at all.
Personally I like that the forum has "ways" about it. The learning curve weeds out the lookyLous from the determined posters.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

Automated solutions are more ideal for the intended effect and I agree that all direct linking to the enemy should be banned.
We can still use archive.is links to allow people to reach the article if they so choose, and doing this has several benefits:
1) Ingrains to the forum as a whole that they are fake news and not to be trusted
2) Reduces their page views, which makes it harder for them to sell ad space because they can't prove they have as much reach
3) Gets people in the habit of archiving webpages, which is especially helpful when censorship and post-editing/deleting hoax articles is prolific

Most votes are 'no', but no-one on that side has bothered to justify why we should give old-media sites links.
To reiterate: even the naught nomad forum is a blocked URL. Is this more hostile to the cause than CNN?

There is an alternative that would dissuade viewing these websites but wouldn't block access to these links, and it would work on everywhere including RVF. Best part is that most of the work is already done for it and it's being actively developed. If anybody here knows how to extend browser extensions then PM me if you're interested.

Aren't there archive websites which a single user can upload an article too? You can still see the article but they get no clicks from
advertising.

Automatic filtering to add archive.is if in that list would be a great solution.

No. But, if you're posting about a mainstream article (even to ridicule it), include the relevant text in your post.

No because then you're just like the enemy.

Outright blocking is just prissy passive-aggressive overkill, creating a safe space hugbox from the mean outside world. We'd be no different from how SJWs behave
However, I understand the intention of not rewarding the old media for their fake news lieing. The forum could parse links and if it detects CNN, MSNBC, NY Times etc. in the URL it might draw attention to it somehow. Highlight it yellow, or preface with a bold "OLD MEDIA:" disclaime before the link, make the link color pink or draw some [[[attention brackets]]] around it. Also, what some forums use is instead of linking to the article itself (and thereby providing them clicks and views), they link to the article through the archive.to webarchive, which is basically a time snapshot and will thus not provide extra views. Bonus advantage: you'll still be able to see the article in its original state if they ever decide to change or delete it to falsify the truth

Men here are adults, so they can decide themselves whether to click on links here or not, especially since the links aren't concealed.
The more educated a population is, such as this forum, the less rules that will be needed. Otherwise it will be too heavy handed.

But are the hyperlinks at least no-follow?
