Want them to be registered and very rich
US Republican politicians are so terrified of "fact-checkers" calling them out on their conspiracy theories and fake science, they want them to be registered as if they were sex offenders.
A Michigan lawmaker who was incredibly upset when fact-checkers failed to support his conspiracy theory that the Democrats had stolen the 2020 election has introduced a bill Tuesday that would require "fact-checkers" to register with the state.
Rep. Matt Maddock, R-Milford, wrote the legislation, which was co-sponsored by eight other Republican House members, about five months after Maddock floated the idea of licensing fact-checkers on Twitter.
The "Fact Checker Registration Act" defines a fact-checker as someone who publishes in print or online in Michigan, is paid by a fact-checking organisation and is a member of the International Fact Check Network.
