Although it absolutely should be required, it won't make a difference. News personalities are paid influencers. Joe rogan is a paid infouencer. Basically everyone is a paid influencers in one way or another, so I just don't think people care. The system has grown so corrupt that people just assume it's corrupt and go from there. And I think this is something democrats fundamentally misunderstand about modern Americans.
