Utah's Third Attempt To Regulate Keywords Fails
Eric Goldman writes "Earlier this month, we discussed HB 450, the Utah Legislature's third attempt to regulate keyword advertising after the past two efforts failed miserably. The latest attempt barely passed the Utah House, aided in part by a 'yes' vote from Representative Jennifer Seelig, who also happens to be a lobbyist-employee of 1-800 Contacts, the principal advocate of HB 450. Nevertheless, HB 450 died in the Utah Senate without a vote when the Utah Legislature adjourned last night. Despite the seeming good news, it would be surprising if the Utah Legislature didn't try a fourth time to regulate keyword advertising in a future session."
When Bush announced withdrawing soldiers from Iraq by 2010, the TV media barely cared.
When Obama announced the same thing, the TV media was so cheerful I thought they were going to break-out in song..... and conveniently ignored the fact that 50,000 soldiers would still be there.
There is bias. TV reporters are almost all Democrats and it colors their reports.
