I’m not sure if the Oklahoma Legislature is just trolling mainstream media, but they have introduced a bill that would require impositions akin to “licensing” journalists and publishers. Real democracies don’t do that.

Yes, I’m sure that Taylor Lorenz and Keith Olbermann’s tests may provide interesting (and explanatory) results, but this could swing both ways.

[Credentialism in speech and journalism is EXACTLY what the Left wants. Don’t think for a moment that this idea fazes them a whit. The Oklahoma legislature should stick to its real business rather than trolling via statute. — Ed]
