AG Uthmeier Targets New York Times | Jacksonville News

Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier is firing another salvo at the New York Times, demanding six years of internal editorial documents under the guise of “corporate governance,” claiming their coverage harms Florida retirees and contains 72 errors favoring Hamas. The Times swiftly rebuffed him, calling the move an assault on First Amendment rights. Uthmeier, a DeSantis appointee running for re-election, has a history of high-profile legal actions — from suing Target over DEI policies to threatening assault charges over WNBA games — all seen by critics as politically motivated. His opponent accuses him of weaponizing his office for headlines and money, while Trump praises him for past immigration work. This latest showdown could define Uthmeier’s legacy — and the future of press freedom in Florida. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
