Paid bloggers for campaigns should be disclosed

[Commentary] How do voters know if the people posting political pitches via blogs, videos and social media are fellow concerned citizens or, as increasingly is the case, paid propagandists? A regulation to tackle that very modern problem is under consideration by the state Fair Political Practices Commission and deserves public support. Regulation 18421.5 would require campaign committees to reveal when they pay someone to create digital content -- for, say, a blog or a Twitter account -- unless that information is provided in the content itself.
