If it makes you feel any better, your state is not the only one that has tried:

I don't know if those statutes have been tested in court yet.

Thank you. I was not aware. It does not make me feel better. Depressing stuff.

I swear every fucking source is left center according to MBFC

That might be the tendency of the people on Lemmy posting sources that are left leaning.

I mean that specifically every single source traditionally regarded as centrist is left leaning according to this bot. Like the Economist.
