The Main Stream Media

[Foxx]

If Congress indeed passes this legislation, my prediction of corporate main stream news dying will be this much closer to fruition.

 

Facebook owner Meta may remove news from platform if U.S. Congress passes media bill

Quote

... Meta spokesperson Andy Stone in a tweet said the company would be forced to consider removing news if the law was passed "rather than submit to government-mandated negotiations that unfairly disregard any value we provide to news outlets through increased traffic and subscriptions."

 

He added the proposal fails to recognize that publishers and broadcasters put content on the platform because "it benefits their bottom line - not the other way around." ...

Trying to prop up a dying industry with other people's money. Imagine that?

Love me some Dave Smith.  He goes too far off the anarchist cliff sometimes but he shows there is a viable third way of thinking.

Severe Blowback on Effort to Include Media Cartel Bill JCPA in Defense Bill Forces Congressional Leaders to Remove from Bill
 

Congressional leaders stripped from the annual defense package a controversial proposal that would have allowed media organizations to create cartels to collectively bargain with Big Tech companies, text of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) released on Tuesday evening shows.

 

The revelation that the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) has been stripped from the text of the NDAA after congressional leaders had agreed to include it just days ago is a massive development that comes after congressional leaders were caught off guard by the swift and severe blowback to the effort.

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell in particular, multiple sources with knowledge of the matter told Breitbart News, was caught flat-footed in response after he had this weekend acquiesced to demands from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to include the JCPA in the NDAA. Only House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, the likely next Speaker of the House, was fighting it all along among the vaunted “Four Corners”–the so-called four leaders of the two chambers of Congress.

 

</snip>

 

Senate Republicans, meanwhile, began organizing efforts to fight back. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) swung into action and urged his GOP colleagues to filibuster the defense package if it contains the JCPA. Others, like Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Thom Tillis (R-NC), issued public statements via Twitter saying they disagreed with including this in the NDAA.

 

GOP Senators debated the matter behind closed doors, too, in their weekly policy lunch, and the lack of any serious defense of the effort to include the JCPA and other extraneous proposals in the NDAA shocked McConnell as senators expressed outrage on the matter. McConnell, sources familiar with the matter say, began changing his tune in response to the GOP outrage later on Tuesday and insisting the NDAA be stripped of the JCPA.

 

Meanwhile, other critics of the legislation, like House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and the House Judiciary GOP threw haymakers against the plan via Twitter, ripping the plot.

Elon Musk joked the New York Times union strike is 'Woke v Woke' after baselessly calling the paper an 'unregistered lobbying firm for far left politicians'

 

I would agree that the Musk comment was baseless. Well, if you're a moron who has never actually read a NY Slimes article, that is.

This is doing nothing more than validating everyone's preconceived notions.  To the right-wing, this is evidence of the bias they've claimed all along.  To the left, this is proof that the system worked to silence dangerous people as necessary.

 

Everyone's screaming "See, I told you so!"  Nothing's coming of this.

Right Wing: This is proof that we are being punished for dissenting

Left Wing: This is proof why you shouldn't dissent.  Now shuddup and celebrate Diversity and Democracy by doing exactly what you are told

Left wing doesn't see it is dissent.  They see it as treason and violence.  Yes, they're idoits...but that's a very key distinction nonetheless.
