Media Bias Monitoring

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the South Carolina code that bars any state agency, college, or political subdivision from entering contracts with companies that rate or rank news outlets for bias or factual accuracy. It requires bidders for advertising or marketing work to certify they are not such a monitor and will not use one. The measure aims to keep state advertising dollars from supporting entities that evaluate media bias.
