Just out of curiosity, who gets to decide what a "legitimate issue" is?

A month of political "silence" wouldn't bother me at all, if it applied to everyone. The problem is that only some people are being silenced, and if you check out the list of those who are not affected by this law--primarily the mainstream media and their commentators--you start to get the picture. Why do you think the press supported this law so fervently? You would think the loss of ad income would have been a factor, but it didn't seem to be.
