Pompeo: All Republicans Should Oppose ‘Cramming’ Media Cartel Bill into an Unrelated Defense Bill
Breitbart ^ | 12/06/2022 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 12/06/2022 3:31:23 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State and Central Intelligence Agency director, on Tuesday called on all Republicans to oppose a Democrat attempt to cram a bill that would create a mainstream media cartel into an unrelated defense bill.

“Giving the media cartel power is bad enough. The JCPA’s ‘China loophole’ means this will benefit our adversaries. All Republicans should oppose cramming this bad bill in the NDAA,” Pompeo tweeted.

Pompeo is right.

This bill nationalizes the media.

Pravda

What we have today is 100x worse than the Soviets ever dreamed Pravda could be.

Also, that defense bill contains MAKING WOMEN ELIGIBLE FOR THE DRAFT AND MANDATES THEIR REGISTRATION. I do not ever recall hearing that even once in the last 3 years

He gets credit for his words but seriously this bill is payback by the politicians Democrat and RINO to the MSM for spinning the news their way.

The Media cannot remain competitive, because too many people have seen how much they are only on the side of the Left and the Deep State.

This bill props them up. Essentially, they become "official" media, the USA version of Pravda. Of course, the bill also favors China.

Do we the people need to get up a petition to just start firing people, including elected “officials”? I have a good list of names for a start.

Good. About time young leftist women have to live the consequences of their beliefs. Maybe it'll cause a few to reconsider whether they actually want a genderless society.

He is Right on Target .

He is talking Current Serious Issues .

He is demanding the Gop to stand up to our Enemies not Help Them.

He is putting them on the Spot,

He is Not Whining or Making it about his Victim-hood .

This Guy is a Serious Candidate.

Ha! It’s the GOPe that want it in the defense bill!

The Democrats can vote against traditional marriage with the cheers of their constituents. The GOPe need the cover of an unrelated—but necessary—bill.

Kabuki theater. Politician in search of a sound bite to get traction. Amazing Zuckerburg is the one that spiked the nonsense. All the politicians actually involved were ready to sign up. These blow hard politicians just go around blowing smoke up everyone’s ... Pompeo is against it until he is for it when he can actually do something.

Pravda had KGB embedded in the organization to suppress speech. Our media has FBI embedded in their organizations to suppress free speech.

No difference.
