In Blow to DeSantis, Florida Bills to Limit Press Protections Are Shelved
Gov. Ron DeSantis usually gets what he wants from the State Legislature. But on high-profile defamation bills it was right-wing news media, not the Republican governor, that flexed its muscle.
As a one time card carrying Republican I tend to stay away from any of this nonsense in my now liberal Progressive viewpoint. My feelings are we should all have equal benefits today regardless of race, creed, or nationality. We are starting to act like people who are afraid that someone is getting ahead of us in a line for tickets to some event. This attitude controls attitude and politics today.
