Bill > HCR15

This resolution urges Congress to pass the "Charlie Kirk Act," a proposed piece of federal legislation aimed at increasing media accountability, specifically in relation to media coverage of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The resolution provides context by referencing the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and its 2012 modernization, which originally prohibited domestic distribution of government-produced foreign communication but later lifted that ban. The resolution suggests that these changes have potentially contributed to media's ability to spread misinformation and propaganda, and it cites the media's coverage of the Charlie Kirk shooting as an example. The resolution calls on Congress to create legislation that would hold media outlets more accountable for their reporting, particularly regarding Charlie Kirk, and directs the house clerk to send copies of the resolution to key government officials, including the President, congressional leaders, the New Hampshire congressional delegation, and the governor of New Hampshire.
