>New York (CNN Business)When House members convene on Tuesday for the first of several hearings about the power of Big Tech, they'll be hearing multiple pitches for a bill called the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act.
>Lobbyists for the newspaper industry are promoting the bill as a way to even the playing field between their businesses and the two giants of the online ad market, Google and Facebook.
>The bill would provide newspapers and online publishers with a four-year antitrust exemption, allowing them to band together in negotiations with online platforms.
David Chavern, CEO of the News Media Alliance, a group that has been spearheading the idea, says publishers need the legal right to strike a "better deal" with Google and Facebook.
>"What we're asking for is the ability for news publishers to act collectively to bargain for a better, more sustainable arrangement," Chavern told CNN Business in an interview. "Because the platforms now [take] advantage of all of our content and return very little of the money back to sustain the future of journalism."
>The antitrust exemption, or "safe harbor," was originally introduced last year by Democratic Rep. David Cicilline. The bill didn't really go anywhere, but now Cicilline is the chairman of the House Judiciary's subcommittee that oversees antitrust law. And he has a Republican co-sponsor: Rep. Doug Collins.
>"There's not much bipartisan happening in House Judiciary right now. And this bill is one of them," Chavern commented. "So that tells you that it is in a unique place at a unique moment. And I actually think we can get this thing going."
>A companion bill was introduced in the Senate earlier this month, again by a bipartisan pairing: Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana and Democratic Senator Amy
Klobuchar of Minnesota. A hearing is not yet scheduled in the Senate.
Fuck off mossad
This, tarrant or die trying
The free market is the ultimate arbitrator, except when it BTFO's our mouthpieces of elite opinion in which case it's out of control and needs to be regulated
Sounds like a good idea. The journalists are haemmorhaging money and so is big tech. Let them take on these massive useless liabilities so they collapse faster. No anti-trust? Fine. No bail-outs either. Plus if the happens we can finally put to rest any questions about corporate owned media. 50% of shit on the news these days is native advertising anyway, let's make it an even 100% and stop giving news media any credibility at all as "objective journalists" and let them be forever know as shills.
Actually. all these monopolies are gonna be broken up sweetie.
>Republican co-sponsor: Rep. Doug Collins.
>when you lose so much public trust you need Congress to carve out a safe harbor
GAS GAS GAS
Are they really that stupid? Being classified as online publishers would make them responsible for everything shared on their platforms...
They're losing their minds, user.
They will somehow manage to be too big to fail and tax-payers will end up paying everything. Seems to be the case with any businesses owned by they who shall not be named.
this, more or less. they've also become enmeshed withing the military industrial complex and classified military programs, giving them what amounts to blanket immunity for anything.
This is such a brash decision. Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake, I suppose
lol GOP gets the rope
>trump will surely just sign this
America is not a free market and the tech sector is decidedly less free than in general. Tech companies were founded with, and continuously receive, public money.
>No anti-trust? Fine. No bail-outs either.
This is the Achilles heel. Every time the6 haggle for some (((reasonable))) trade they just break their promises. If the anti trust gets stayed, they will receive w/e help they promised not to get as soon as they want it.
What a ridiculous world where there are companies so huge and absurdly powerful that smaller companies need to unionize to deal with them, but none of these companies had unionized employees
can someone tell a retard what this means? surprised doug collins supports it if it is helping msm. just dumb this down for me
All the media outlets want to conspire and collaborate against Google and Facebook. It is currently technically illegal for the media companies who are competitors to do so, and they're seeking an exemption.
Oh god
Youd think theyd be happy to see tech trust busted but they like the tech monopolies as they are. They just want a more solidified role in it.
They don't want big tech busted up because big tech is working with them to only show what the MSM wants to be shown while censoring all other avenues of investigation or discussion.
what a tacit admission of guilt
They're already doing it. Buzzfeed, Vox, and other bottom-feeding propagandist outlets that should have gone bankrupt and faded into obscurity years ago only exist today because they were bought out by CNN, NBC, Disney, and other major outlets. They use these trash publications as propaganda outlets to run headlines that they can report on to keep their hands clean.
>CNN: "According to a story in Buzzfeed..."
They're "reporting" on what "somebody else" said, never mind that that "somebody else" is owned by major media outlets.
Now they've escalated, and are sending their shit nobody "journalists" like attack dogs out on Youtube personalities and other online media outlets. We saw it unfold last week.
>some fag at Vox picked a fight with Steven Crowder
>Youtube demonetizes Crowder
>Demonetizes and deplatforms 1,000s of other Youtubers while they're at it
>The New York Times and other outlets run htitpieces about "extremists" and "brainwashing" occurring on Youtube
>This is all to eliminate their competition, as these people pull more traffic than they do.
They don't need "immunity from anti-trust." Our government needs to ENFORCE anti-trust against these outlets.
These employees at media companies are legitimately and openly terrorizing the American populace at this point. Do the useful idiots not realize what. they're doing?
>My business model is failing
>Plz help me gov
Literally Soviet tier shit
What is antitrust? Is it like a trust fund?
Or literal not trusting
Lmao what a corrupt shit hole
im really running out of words for these retards
Monopolies are not allowed by law (problem with that is, nobody will fucking enforce the law)
The laws that are in place for this are called "anti-trust" laws - it's legal-speak. Think like..."you have broken the trust of the government, monopolies are against the free market and competition, this is anti-American"
*against -> with
You misspelled that.
They realize what they're doing; they simply don't care. These poor-mouthing journalists masquerading as "of the people" and as "working class" are millionaires. Those who are not already millionaires tow the line in the hopes of being the next millionaire. These reporters are not reporters; they're television reality stars. Everybody knows their names. These people live in rich gated communities filled with white people. Their children go to the same posh private schools and Ivy League universities as the children of our politicians. They are not us. They don't care about us. The entire country could collapse, and they'd be snug in their little ivory towers as they gaze over the Banana Republic that used to be the United States.
can we take out broadcast antennas in New York and California ?
^this
bi-partisan effort!!!! must be for israel.
You niggers should have seen the look on my face when I got to it.
adding on to this:
monopolistic companies making moves that are blatantly anti-government (see nearly every sensationalist rag ever typed since about 1971) can be construed, by law, as sedition and/or treason.
The US government makes no joke about shit like that. And, to add insult to injury, we are still, as a country, in 'wartime'. Treason, during wartime...you figure it out.
One of the reasons Trump isn't doing jack shit about any of this is because he's bating them over and over so they continuously push their communist/feels over reals angle, so he has a fuck-huge body of evidence with which to hammer them with.
Because if he doesn't and soon, he'll be seen, by law, as an accessory.
Statute of limitations and such.
I really wish Trump would do something about king nigger gutting this law.
congress.gov
So this is basically their attempt at consolidating big media and social media into one giant media industry so they can make us all STFU?
they know drumph is going to win again its why they want 4 year
Nigger, they'll just clamp down further on the internet. All this censorship shit is to neuter the internet and make it the next cable TV.
based tucker
Yeah that's what it seems like, and what another user said about the wave of hitpieces on independent journalists who became famous due to youtube and how the ebil internet nazzies have been radicalizing people makes the one-sidedness of this shit circus more apparent.
Trump won’t sign the bill obviously.
this, all of this
Shit is definitely getting really real! Everything going on is making total sense now.
I got goosebumps in a bad way
lol never change republicans
Journalist always get the rope first in these situations. They are committing open treason.
Don't be too sure.
>let's make it an even 100% and stop giving news media any credibility at all as "objective journalists" and let them be forever know as shills.
free speech and advertising cannot co exist
Burger media wants a chokehold on online media and would prefer government-censorship and witch-hunts to do that job. Basically they want to go full China on Internet freedom so they can keep making money by doing shitty clickbait articles for all eternity and force you to click on them.
>free speech and advertising cannot co exist
Just look at any corporate news channel and the amount of pharmaceutical companies who advertise on them, 80% of the commercials are for some new drug whose side effects often include death or debilitation. In return for all the fat dollars of advertising money, no reporting on the poisons that are being peddled to the population.
>the media and the Dems
So you mean the Dems
So some (((lawyers))) get to represent the entire media and retire after google pays them off. Seems like a good idea.
That's how I read it.
You're mistaking the attack dog for the owner of the dog.
As a great man once said, the mainstream media is the enemy of the people.
>One of the reasons Trump isn't doing jack shit about any of this is because he's bating them over and over so they continuously push their communist/feels over reals angle, so he has a fuck-huge body of evidence with which to hammer them with.
Yeah. I'm sure that's why.
Bump
Funny thing is if they get their way, then Google and Facebook both get a sudden very high incentive to block and censor every mention of these medias on the internet, since they're now openly hostile and arrogantly declaring they're trying to destroy these two companies.
>No anti-trust? Fine. No bail-outs either.
Umm, sweetie? I'm not sure that it's gonna work this way.
This.
The media collaborates with facebook and platforms to control what narratives get pushed to the eyes of the consumer who is too lazy to do what autists do when digging through the lies they layer on top of the shit they bury in the daily blood libel routine. The media simply wants to negotiate the amount of revenue earned by the supplier so as to stop other media sources from undercutting their collective bargaining agreements.
Read through the thread. This is the legacy's media final hand I think. They're trying to checkmate their own death.
Just look at the numbers of subscribers and views some of these independent cunts have been pulling and then compare them to the corporate media's numbers. Yeah the corporate media is offset by advertising and smear jobs, but they realize that won't last forever, they have to take out these upstart competitors before it's too late for them.
you guys became mentally ill
Zionists like you are mentally ill
Except they're not really hurting their bottom line, the journalists themselves are. Gossip, hearsay and clickbait brings money on short term but hurts your credibility on the long term. These are exactly the times where honest, objective journalism trying to seek the real facts and truth is in very high demand but alas all the real journalists have been kicked out of the likes of NYT and replaced with college student interns whose CV consists of articles bashing white men and nothing else.
Its like the US media collectively shit their pants, then made a lot of noise about how terrible the smell is and how everyone should be angry or react about the fact they just shat their pants. Only they forgot the fact eventually the smell is going to get to the onlookers, people start avoiding the dumbass constantly shitting his pants and even when you stop, you will now be forever known as that dumbass who kept shitting his pants.
The NPC meme ain't no meme
I would ask why in the fuck we would bail out those treasonous pieces of shit but now that you mention it, that's exactly the kind of retardation I should expect
(2/2) Compare it to finnish media where journalism is still very much a thing, journalists here rather resign than work for bosses with affiliations to certain politicians. As a result our written newspaper media is doing better than ever. Coincidentally and highly related, Finland now has one of the, if not THE oldest still-standing and thriving games magazine running and showing no signs of decline. Despite its columnists admitted being scared of it 6-7 years ago.
t. fat kike schizo spammer
1. there is areason Trump moves the way he does.
2. The United States government is essentially what pro-wrestling fans refer to as 'kayfabe'. Nobody really knows who's doing what aside from the politicians themselves; leaving the rest of us to wonder for TV ratings and advertising purposes. This is where the 'clown world' meme originated.
4. However, the law is the law; and anyone who breaks it for the express purpose of supplanting the Republic is a traitor, and will be treated as such by either the Supreme Court, or a military tribunal.
5. IF that does not comes to pass, the responsibility of rebalancing America to a managable state falls on the shoulders of the people. Due to the extravagant mess left behind in regards to race relations, social status, and economic power; the US government would be wise to prevent such an event from occurring.
We're all having fun here being a bunch of speculating shits, but when playtime is over; the US does not fuck around.
The point 3 that you forgot
>He abandoned his supporters, it's not an act, there is literally no reason to believe otherwise.
and give them the excuse to purge everything that's not kosher
>American education
A trust is a conglomeration, a monopoly or oligopoly. Teddy Roosevelt was known as "the trust buster" because he went out of his way to break up huge companies for instance.
This aritcle is just stating they have lobbyists promoting a bill. It does not even have support. They are likely reporting on this in order to get the woke twitter crowd to pressure congressmen into sponsorship. Its pretty much a desperation play.
>Teddy Roosevelt was known as "the trust buster" because he went out of his way to break up huge companies for instance.
his uncle was the head of the confederate secret service
Lol this desperation move
Contact ur reps and make sure this doesnt happen
I’m quite sure he won’t.
Wanted to say this.
>"oh boohoo democracy can't exist without a free independent media we need gibs"
>"If MSCNN powered by Google can't report on facts the very fabric of our society is at stake."
>"15 ways the government could fund media bailouts by increasing illegal immigration, and why that's a good thing"
Bump
so we call ours and tell them to let it die?
Prepare to be suprised.
Back in day, what journalists did was worth something cause they took risks to uncover new information. Now that they're mostly copy pasting from the wire as a framework for advertising and opinions, it's worth as much as the word of any random bum in the street... Nothing. But they're still trying to get paid.
> We've seen this before
> Get ready
No u.
sloppy bob mojob
Government wouldn't take bipartisan measures to destroy your rights, that just insane. Trump definitely wouldn't forget his reading glasses that day. You can trust him bigly.
They don't give a fuck about Google and Facebook being monopolies. What they care about is the fact that Google and Facebook's platforms have the potential to undermine the MSM narrative.
Sure, Facebook and Google have been censoring conservatives now, but there's no guarantee that will continue indefinitely with every tech company or even with those same companies (imagine a change in CEO or a board shakeup)
They want to put the genie back in the bottle. Antitrust legislation is a convenient trojan horse that most people will support in order for politicians to get more control over the narrative.
>please let us join together to silence everything and everyone we don't like lawfully
Let these fucking companies die. It's a fucking joke that they pretend they somehow are important. New companies will fill the void.
Think of it this way. If they actually cared about monopolies and consumer harm done by monopolies, why haven't they done anything anything about Equifax/Transunion? Verizon/AT&T? The five big banks that control literally the entire financial system?
Because it isn't about monopolies or consumer harm, it's about returning control of the narrative to the MSM Cathedral.
