This is the most unconstitutional thing I have ever heard. If certification is mandatory then it’s unnecessary and whoever the media says wins has to win.
Certification is a stamp of approval by a human being with free will who has been charged with the duty of examining whatever he has been asked to certify and determine whether he deems it legitimate or not. If you require someone to certify something they deem to be illegitimate then there is no point in asking them to look over it in the first place and give their personal stamp of approval. If that is the case then certification is meaningless and pointless and the process should then be automated. Something tells me if such a law ever was put to the supreme court a simple first amendment challenge would be all that was needed to strike it down.

Maybe I am, but I’m afraid your explanation doesn’t help me understand it much better.
