This resolution calls on Congress to enact federal legislation aimed at enhancing media accountability, specifically in honor of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. It references the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which was originally designed to prevent the dissemination of government-produced propaganda within the United States. However, the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 lifted the ban on domestic distribution of foreign communication, raising concerns about the potential for government-produced information to influence public opinion. The resolution highlights the challenges posed by the internet in enforcing these distinctions and points to the media's role in spreading misinformation, particularly in relation to the coverage of Charlie Kirk's shooting.

The resolution proposes the creation of the "Charlie Kirk Act," which would hold media outlets accountable for disseminating misinformation about Kirk. It emphasizes the need for legislative action to address the issues of misinformation and propaganda in the media landscape, reflecting a broader concern about the integrity of information available to the public. The resolution directs the house clerk to send copies to key political figures, including the President and New Hampshire's congressional delegation, to advocate for this proposed legislation.
