Swamp Launches Last Ditch Effort to Pass Media Bailout Bill JCPA

Supporters of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), a bill that would allow corporate media companies to band together in a cartel to collude with Big Tech companies like Facebook and Google, are mounting a last-ditch effort to pass the bill before Republicans take control of the House of Representatives next year, including the undemocratic possibility of adding the JCPA to a so-called “must pass” bill like defense spending.

Blackburn and Rubio Bust Myth: JCPA *Enables* Big Tech Collusion with Media

Conservatives Oppose Ted Cruz Censorship Amendment: This Is a ‘Bad Bill’

Conservative members of the Senate Judiciary Committee disapprove of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) caving to the left in supporting the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) with the addition of his amendment, which ironically does nothing to guarantee protections against censorship of conservative platforms. Rather, it continues in facilitating it.
