Fair question, but it’d lead X (the blogger) to disclose he’s paid $300 a month from a foundation located in Delaware. So you search for the foundation and find it’s just a mail-box...rented by a Company ‘Y’ centered out of Alberta, Canada. So you arrive there to find the company is another mailbox address...leading to some Greek isle which has 300 Russian millionaires who reside there but no firm idea about the true owner.
Worst case scenario...the blogger isn’t reporting the $300 a month as income to taxation. Beyond that...nothing much in terms of resolution.
Yep....when I watch CNN or MSNBC.....I have trouble determining who works for the the news entity, the CIA, FBI or DNC. We saw how the Justice dept was literally paying political operatives to do their dirty work in the Russia Russia scandal.
It’s a fair question. At the state level much easier to discern. What about all the Feds who room the blogosphere as operatives...should they be allowed to post?
If PAC’s must disclose which ads they sponsor, so should bloggers be required to disclose who is paying them.
