Re: GOP lawmaker drafts bill requiring journalists to register with police

I think there should be a similar requirement for political reporters. They should be required to divulge their personal party afficilation and voting habits whenever they are reporting on a political topic. That way the news consumer can judge for themselves if the reportage is biased by the reporter’s personal vested interest in the topic.
That makes sense, therefore it is logical. It will never happen, it is not in the best interest of the liberal politicians.
