The Jimmy Dore Show A Florida state senator has proposed a bill that would force bloggers earning income by writing about state politics to register with the state and disclose the sources of that income. Free speech advocates are balking, of course, and it should be noted that the new law wouldn’t apply to newspapers or their websites, nor to politicians whose dark money funders will remain as obscure as ever.
Jimmy and Americans’ comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the obvious First amendment issues with this bill and whether it’s some sort of put on or ratfucking effort.

Lobbyists sway politicians. Paid political posts on Twitter sway the public.
This bill is obviously flawed but the idea is right.
You can say whatever you want, being told who paid you just let's everyone know who owns you.
If your writing is a political ad it should be treated as such
Absolutely disgusting. Great test for DeSantis. If he signs it, he's garbage.
Wtf
I keep sounding the alarm is DeSantis is a tyrant. Yeah good for him by pushing back on lockdowns, but the incarnation rate has increased a lot in Florida because he keeps pushing evil laws that ban protests or that punish people to "protect the children" he's an establishment tyrant, once you look into what he's done. 💯
Just love how Jimmy Dore puts political ideas into perspective. The Republican Senator should be ashamed and resign from his office for being an incredibly inferior thinker. With this terribly flawed proposal, how can he be taken seriously again?
Unconstitutional
This sounds alot like the internet laws Trudeau is trying to pass in Canada .
Is this your king free speech warriors?
Shit libs be all about freedom of speech now
This bill is from a future swamp Republican. The Dems are upset that they didn’t think of this first. Vote MAGA, the best of the worst. How’s that for a tag line.
I think desantis is a uniparty trojan horse
in Germany any blog that's paid for needs to explicitly state it is paid for, not just about politics. That way readers know what's ads vs opinion. No state interference needed, readers can think for themselves
Don’t believe anything you read in a leftist media outlet without proof. Make that all media. Be skeptical, be smart.
WTF! WHY!!!
The Dems have been for censorship for years, and now they are spouting off about the first amendment. Crocodile tears. The swamp Republicans are almost as bad, they are for censorship but they can’t say it in public. Go MAGA.
"Bloggyists"
Random facts:
1 million second = 12.5 days.
1 billion seconds = 32 years.
Just like big Tech registers them on federal data base.
Brodeur sounds like a troll, lol.
Ok, no more sarcastic legislation.
This is obv an attempt to stop soros from funding even more "bloggers" to push his agenda through propaganda. Maybe just think twice before you criticize something, instead of the zero attempts you currently utilize
No way in hell Desantis will sign this into law.
I speculate their long term goal is to control who can be legally considered a journalist.
Jimmy this is false. This bill was filled by Republican Florida Sen. Jason Brodeur. Not DeSantis
weird, this is very un-desantis, without knowing anything about it whatsoever Im guessing its a RINO or democrat rep who proposed the legislation so headlines could tie it to him.
Proof that the GOP are fake 1st Amendment supporters like Democrats. At least DeSantis didn't support it.
Jimmy has again let us down by not doing his homework. I guess his dog ate it? Perhaps he was too busy spitting on Alex Jones?
If they are not asking for money than may a little light can be a good thing. I think everyone should turn on the lights.
I knew desantis was deep state. Vote trump ❤
