Senate Republican introduces the Charlie Kirk Act to halt government-funded ‘propaganda’.

• The Charlie Kirk Act has been introduced by a Senate Republican to enhance government oversight over media and information dissemination.
• The proposed legislation aims to strengthen the protections established by the Cold War-era Smith-Mundt Act.
• A key feature of the act is to prevent government-produced media from being used as ‘propaganda’ by imposing restrictions on its domestic distribution.
• The act proposes an embargo on government-funded media being accessible to American citizens for a period of 12 years after its production.
• The initiative reflects concerns over the influence of government-produced content on American public opinion.
• The bill draws on historical context, referencing the Smith-Mundt Act, which was originally designed to regulate the dissemination of information abroad during the Cold War.
