That's one of those ironic things that conservative state legislatures do. They're all for small government until a liberal city passes a law they don't like.
In a court of law, the judge isn’t allowed to do independent research unlike what you might have seen in the movies, they are simply allowed to listen to arguments on both sides and make a decision based on law.
A news article is like that in a court of public opinion where the public is the judge and the reporter is merely there to report on both sides of the argument, not supposed to be doing research on their own, it is up to the other side to fact check and add that to their argument, it isn’t the reporter’s job or even their place ethically.
There is definitely room for reporters doing fact checking and more involved investigative journalism, just not in that kind of article.
Agreed. Aside from some vague intimations that Google is using Chrome as a business tool, it really didn't present much of an argument to switch to something else.

Not sure about 'vague', they're using non-standard APIs to advantage their browser accross Google products, implemented a forced Chrome login and are planning to remove ad blocking APIs, the last one being the most clear case of Chrome being used to support their primary source of revenue.
Considering all of his examples were top boogeymen of the alt right, I'd be surprised if there was any deeper reasoning behind it than parroting talking points.
I'm sure this exists, but it's probably about time we had a GUI you can put in front of a Postgres/MySQL server in a similar way to Access forms, as a kind of hybrid between niche app and off the shelf.
