A piece of Florida legislation that would’ve revised laws surrounding defamation lawsuits is dead for this legislative session, Florida’s Voice has learned. It would have assumed media outlets engaged in “actual malice” if they publish false statements given to them by anonymous sources, for the purpose of defamation cases. A spokesperson for Florida Senate President Kathleen Passidomo’s office told Florida’s Voice that the Senate has no plans to take up HB 757 for procedural reasons.

@Edward Lyle –
“Only the damaged liberal Marxist mind believes that driving a Prius and killing wales with foolish windmills can change the evolutionary path of a planet.”
I can’t believe a good Christian man like you believes in evolution!
Hey, did you notice that Monday it hit over 100 degrees in Texas? In February! It’s true, just google it. As usual, a boomer conservative could care less about what the planet looks like in thirty years, because he has already gotten his. Standard conservative values.
Only the damaged liberal Marxist mind believes that driving a Prius and killing wales with foolish windmills can change the evolutionary path of a planet.
The climate changes at my house on a nearly constant basis as a result of two scientific realities:
1. Menopause
2. Thermostat
The daily meltdown by DSP…

Someone should tell these coral reefs that climate change is a liberal hoax. I knew the lamestream media had infected our children and weak minded liberals into believing crazy stuff, but had no idea they’d even infected our coral reefs with their lies. I think a tax cut would probably make the reefs come back though.
Haley Is a ringer for the Democrats? She carries the never Trump flag and making a fool out of herself. She’s not even a distraction as no one is paying any attention to her. Nikki who?
NEBA needs to improve their speaker list. Ask Carolyn why she follows Dianne Williams Cox’s ridiculousness and ditto for the mayor? Both are do nothings except for raising taxes and disappointments that need to go. Their only platform is regurgitating the Democratic Party’s ideology. People are on to them and say no more. Also, ask them why they believe spending taxpayers dollars to attend the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce junket is a benefit to taxpayers?
NEBA will be remiss if they do not ask the mayor why he and the city manager are misusing city staff and resources to carry out a political vendetta against a county commissioner?
Don’t forget our U. S. Reps and Senators will roll over this week and pass yet another temp spending bill doing nothing to stop illegal immigration or cut spending.
Spring Hill & Lake Bradford should be the only Roads to consider for the Gateway Project.
How much will THIS Park Design cost us?
Trump will beat Haley in Michigan today. What will be interesting is, WHEN Haley finally drops out, WHO will she throw her Support behind? I’m thinking Biden since it has been mostly Democrats funding her run. Think about it.
