The overwhelming majority of journalists are left-wing. You are asking a very simple question and there's a very simple answer.




so its because of left-wing journalists that Republican politicians have so much baggage and act with such vitriol? thats an insaaaane reach

It's the other way round: Disney had a law tailor made for itself. Claiming that a democratically elected state government has no right to revoke such a corporate privilege is absurd.


They have to do the revocation in a way that follows the law and isn't demonstrably punishment for protected political speech.

Funny how when yall complain about private institutions not hosting speech they disagree with and then give a total pass to blatantly illegal and corrupt actions to curtail speech by Republicans

Almost like you don't actually give a shit about speech

What other company in Florida acts as its own political entity? Political retribution against political actors is absolutely legal and has been since the country's founding.


Your dishonesty is noted.

There are hundreds of similar special purpose districts in Florida and they are only targeting Disney as political retribution.

They don’t even have any real players as of right now anyways. They are trying to puff up the pete guy with the last name I can’t spell. Robert Kennedy. 🤷‍♂️

Neither Trump nor Obama had proven the ability to run an executive (even below the federal level) when they ran for president and got elected. Both won their crucial primaries based on charisma.


I disagree with your loaded framing, but you actually have a point: DeSantis has been really good at maximizing "conservative wins" with aggressive strategies which used all the leverage he had at his disposal in Florida, which is structurally medium-red in local and state level politics. So his selling point in contrast to Trump ("I am actually good at governing and producing results") is a question mark when it comes to the federal level. Would he be as effective as he has been in Florida if he didn't get to operate from a position of power and leverage, say if he presided over a divided Congress with a -5 net approval rating?



What I am saying is it is silly these are the things people want in the president of the US.

Desantis gonna get wrecked on the national stage. If Disney triggers him and gives him this hard of a time, imagine national level stage. Pareto principle eludes him.

I think the situation can become even more stupid when these candidates dodge all the debates they can so they avoid to have to answer these questions. Then use big donors money to spam TV & Web with alienating ads.
