They literally gave an award to Charles Koch.
They cited their sources and included direct quotations from the bill. Are you saying any of their claims about what the bill says are untrue? It's good to have a healthy amount of skepticism, especially for groups with known biases, but what's your point in calling this out here?
Just the framing of the first line is like something out of an Ayn Rand hallucination. When I see something that heavily tilted the first thing I look for is WHO is writing it and WHY would they.
I mean, even if I think libertarians are overall not very smart, I do think their stance on vice laws is the right one.
The part that got me is when they quoted the text of the bill and then linked to the bill.
But yes, the constant "slamming" of democrats is pretty biased. I can't say I wholly disagree with that first paragraph, but anything that uses "land of the free" unironically usually has an angle.
Especially anyone who believes that individuals are less free now than they were historically in the United States. Only the ignorant or biased make that claim.
Ayn Rand Institute is way nuttier.
