"Aspiring GOP Leader Sen. John Thune Backs Cartel Bill Bailout for Discredited Fake News Media".
It is common knowledge in D.C. that Sen. Thune wants to be the next GOP leader in the Senate. So do Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and John Barrasso (R-WY), neither of whom have formally taken a position on the JCPA, This is the type of bill the base will be looking at as an early bellwether when the jockeying for leadership eventually takes place. Whatever Thine’s ambitions, he appears happy to risk alienating the base by supporting a bailout for one of the most despised institutions among Republicans: the corporate mainstream media.
The JCPA would create a cartel of media companies in the U.S., with the power to collectively negotiate with Big Tech companies for special favor, on top of the favors that Big Tech companies already provide voluntarily to the corporate media, including suppression of their competitors, artificial amplification in algorithms and search results, and billions of dollars in licensing fees.
This establishment creature needs to be stopped cold in his pursuit of greater power.
We really are up against it, aren't we? Democrats on one hand, RINOs on the other, DENSA members all around. Kind of like the Knights of Malta facing off against the hordes of Suleiman the Magnificent. But the knights did win, after all.
At this point, what difference does it make?

ReplyDeleteV: Yes, far too many people focus exclusively on elections for representation at the national level, and ignore critically important local politics; although that seems to be changing (e.g., the flipping of numerous school boards in Florida communities from liberal to conservative - or, at least, sane).
