The antidote to bad speech and false statement is more speech, not suppression of speech. Or as Justice Holmes put it, “free thought—not ... for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate.”

Swaying public opinion is an art-form. In the best of times ....let alone i today's contentious atmosphere. What we learnt in the 1960s (and subsequently forgot) is that to fight it is to feed it.
