The Miami Herald is to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis what CNN is to Donald Trump during his four-year presidency: unabashed guerrillas look for false narratives to produce and Use a deceptive angle to massage to discredit Republicans and promote Democrats, if necessary.
Considering that the “Herald” “let’s throw away everything except the kitchen sink and see if it can stick”, the way of reporting DeSantis has always been epic. failure Every time they try, including all the time they have tried used Humiliated former Florida Department of Health IT staff Rebekah Jones for section The plot, no one will be surprised, they are now shifting gears and trying another strategy.
The place where you deceived by negligence.
The Herald published an article editorial A few days ago, I reviewed the tragedy of the collapse of an apartment building in Surfside, Florida on June 24. At the time of writing, the tragedy resulted in 94 deaths, of which 22 are still “possibly unaccounted for.” according to To Daniella Levine Cava, Mayor of Miami-Dade County.
In their article, the paper implies that DeSantis is using “cautious” to protect the duties of Florida residents.[ing] We should not rush to pass the law until we know exactly what caused the collapse”, and then continue to study the state inspection procedures, the financial reserves of the apartments, and 2008 Act “This requires the apartment association to pay for a’reserve study’ every five years to study how long the apartment’s components-from swimming pools to elevators-can continue to operate safely and how much it costs to repair them when needed.”
They pointed out that the law was repealed in 2010. They interviewed the initiator of the original bill in 2008-a Republican-who said that if the law is not repealed, then it may be possible to prevent the collapse of Champlain Tanan:
He told the editorial board that former state Rep. Julio Robaina had sponsored the bill enacting the law after hearing the attention of the community association. But he said that real estate lawyers and property management companies did not like this requirement, and the legislature repealed the law in 2010.
Robaina believes that if his laws are still in effect, the collapse of Surfside can be avoided. NBC News According to reports, Champlain has not conducted professional reserve research since at least 2016.
Until the investigation is completed, it is impossible to know whether Robaina is correct, but it seems a wise thing to require the apartment boards to be maintained above maintenance and should not be abolished.
Interestingly, the Herald highlighted the NBC News report because that article Excluded The same important message as the “Herald” did in the editorial: neither reminded readers that the governor who signed the repeal bill was Charlie Christ.
This is a 2010 Palm Beach Post article about Crist’s signing and repeal. DeSantis’ press secretary, Christina Pushaw, issued a report after NBC News submitted:

Considering that Christ, a political chameleon, now represents the Democrat of Florida’s 13th congressional district, this is another special oversight for the Herald and NBC News. Announce He intends to run for governor Early May.
At the risk of what sounded like a record-breaking, the fact that Christ, the most high-profile Democratic candidate who has announced his intention to run for governor so far, was not mentioned. one time No matter which piece it is, it is highly suspicious. Does anyone think that if DeSantis was the one who repealed the 2008 law, then he would not be mentioned or seeking a public offer?
Considering that there is a mountain evidence – Includes problem The building collapsed-indicating clear media bias Oppose DeSantis, it is safe to say that, just like NBC News, we should not give the Herald the benefit of suspicion that not mentioning Crist is just their negligence.
His name was excluded from their report-deliberately.
One thing the Herald is right is that it is currently impossible to know whether the 2008 law will make a difference, but just as it is important for readers to know who sponsored the 2008 bill, it is also important for them to know who the governor is. Signed to repeal it, especially considering that the security of Florida’s infrastructure is likely to become a campaign issue in the coming months.
