True, but completely insignificant:
Florida bill would require bloggers who write about the governor and legislators to register with the state
DeSantis's office said Friday it was reviewing the bill. "As usual, the governor will consider the merits of a bill in final form if and when it passes the legislature," said his press secretary, Bryan Griffin.
Any state senator or representative can propose legislation. How is it news when a single one proposes something which has no chance of becoming a law?
Naturally, lot's of smart people will use this kind of thing to label Republicans as "The Stupid Party".
My commentary:
The Florida piece is the perfect example of what's going on and it isn't misbehavior by Republicans. In that case, one state senator proposed a loony idea. This is promoted as "news" because the media would like to portray all Republicans as loons. I'm pretty certain that, with thousands of state legislators, the news outlets could be filled every day with crazy proposals which have miniscule support, from both parties. Somehow, only the crazy Republican proposals will see the light of day and go nowhere, meanwhile the crazy Democratic proposals will silently become laws and we'll wake up one day with, WTF! They banned socks! And we have to live with it because it's significantly harder to get rid of a law than to enact it in the first place.
The media wants to manipulate you and if you think the FL proposal says anything about Republicans, it has succeeded.
Don't be a news splooge.
