The flagging of the article is not justified. There is more here than just a politician conversation or controversial interview.
Or the members that submit them
I err on the side of "just report what the publication says" and let others (appropriately) criticize bad headline-writing.
The issue here is that you linked to a low quality source. As I said, this is newsworthy IMO. But surely there was a better quality source you might have chosen.
If the community is interested in the topic, typically the comments point to more germane information, backstory, and other data that supports/refutes what an article says. That's a healthy behavior, and it's why online communities remain popular.
Submission quality is in the eye of the beholder.
A number of people have attempted to give you kind and constructive feedback. You appear immune to it.
I'll give your opinion the respect it deserves.

This is a law proposed by a small group of state legislators. Of course, all laws start as bills like this. But most bills never become law.
A more responsible and less sensationalistic story would talk about the level of support for such a bill, its chances of becoming actual law, its constitutionality, and so on.
This is newsworthy, but not when reported like this.
