I'm not at all surprised by Walter's incorrect assumption about the Florida bill, because I have had friends make that same assumption. Why? Because of constantly seeing the phrase "'Don't Say Gay' Bill" in the *headlines* of news articles on the subject. No attribution or explanation, just presenting it as if that's the actual name of the bill.

At best, an article will say something like "critics call it the 'Don't Say Gay Bill'" but never mention who those critics are or what they are criticizing.

Of course, most people don't even get that crumb of information, because reading anything beyond the headline exceeds the average attention span. As a result, the formerly objective journalist becomes the sloganeering activist.
