Bad Journalism:
1. Reporting TikTok may shut down Sunday w/o mentioning that the bipartisan law was a Donald Trump demand.
2. Failing to report that Trump's money man Elon Musk wants to buy the app.
3. Failing to report the Trump says he's now pro TikTok because these days "I'm a star" on the app.

Election misinformation — We need an equivalent of the Federal Trade Commission to protect American voters against politicians who lie. The FTC protects consumers against manufacturers lying about products, and enforces laws against deceptive advertising.
