NBC 6 in South Florida has a story out Thursday about a Florida law that could have more quickly repaired the collapsed Surfside condo had it not been repealed. We saw a lot of people tweeting that the story completely left out the name of the governor who repealed that law, and sure enough, when we read it, we couldn’t find the name either. The only clue is that it was repealed in 2010.
Collapsed Surfside Condo Could Have Been Repaired Faster Under Repealed Fla. Law, Experts Say https://t.co/C3oLmiMHrw

It’s weird that this article doesn’t mention that @CharlieCrist, the Democrat trying to run against DeSantis in the upcoming election, was the Governor that repealed that law. https://t.co/UVlYTfWmSG

And by weird, you mean totally predictable.

Narrator: it is not weird
— PanamaRed (@PanamaRedAZ) July 8, 2021
Nowhere do you mention who repealed it. Weird! Could that be because it’s Charlie Crist (D), currently running against @GovRonDeSantis for Florida Governor?
“But #DeathSantis!” Amiright?— Amy (@AmyA1A) July 8, 2021
No where in the article: DeSantis's opponent, Charlie Crist, was the Florida governor in 2010 when the law was repealed. That should be in there.

Why did they “forget” to include that?
— Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) July 8, 2021
Have you contacted @CharlieCrist for comment? He was the Governor who signed the repeal of this law. 🧐 interesting how you forgot to mention that, @nbc6
— Christina Pushaw (@ChristinaPushaw) July 8, 2021
Where’s the comment from the Florida Governor at the time, @CharlieCrist? Seems pretty important to the story.
Any thoughts @jonschuppe @PhilPrazan? Or was getting comment from the Governor in charge at the time too much journalism for you?

Charlie Crist repealed that.

Who repealed it? Seems important

Perhaps you “forgot” to mention that law was repealed by DeSantis’s Democrat predecessor, because you are in bed with the Democrat Party, just like all other establishment media outlets?
— Bob Kosch, Easter Worshipper (@KoschBob) July 8, 2021
@CharlieCrist was in charge during this time. Correct?
— Vols4life (@117vols4life) July 8, 2021
You could have put the name of the person who did this (Crist) in the headline.

@nbc6 for the L. Great Journalisming you got there.

Who repealed that law?
— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) July 8, 2021
Charlie Crist is the name you’re looking for.
— Scout’s Papa (@JamesRagano) July 8, 2021
Under Charlie Crist. You guys left that out. Wonder why?
— Conservatalian (@Conservatalian) July 8, 2021
Why is it random people on Twitter know more about a story than the press??
— Lost in Space (@Sneakeyghost) July 8, 2021
Because they actually care to seek out the truth and not tell narratives or made up stories.

This is a classic case of media misinformation.
Pravda.
It's not as much what they say, but what they don't say. Don't think for a minute that it's not intentional. It is. All of it is.
— Birdland (@Nevermore522055) July 8, 2021
Thank Charlie Christ. Where is he? Can you interview him about this?
— Newsgatherer (@GroupToStopHate) July 8, 2021
Wow I can’t believe Ron DeSantis could do this…. Oh wait it was Charlie Crist? The previous governor now running against him? Nevermind. Nothing to see here
— johnathan sanders (@johnathan_sand) July 8, 2021
Tell me DeSantis isn’t a 2024 threat without telling me DeSantis isn’t a 2024 threat

Keep publishing work like this @nbc6!!! That 29% credibility rating you all have earned definitely has room to go lower. pic.twitter.com/YfxptgxpnJ
— KG (@kgfreestate) July 8, 2021
Yeah, why would Charlie Christ do that???
— gasmd (@magaFTWdaily) July 8, 2021
Seems like Ron DeSantis’s name would be in the headline had he been the one to repeal it.
