Exclusive — Ted Cruz Caves to Democrat Amy Klobuchar on Media Cartel Bill
Breitbart ^ | Sept. 21, 2022 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 09/22/2022 1:14:35 AM PDT by Boomer

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has caved to the Democrats on legislation that would allow media organizations to create formal cartels to negotiate with Big Tech companies, several congressional aides and others familiar with the process told Breitbart News on Wednesday.

If Cruz goes forward with his plans to back—and allow the senate to advance—the legislation, then he will immediately become one of the biggest enablers of the establishment media and Big Tech giants and he could seriously jeopardize his political future.

not much to it. Allows media creators to be exempt from anti trust legislation when they negotiate terms for the meta, etc to carry their content. They can band together in collective bargaining cartels. It would maybe give content providers the ability to stop the censoring of their content.

Cruz is a smart guy, but he does not have good judgement.

There is no one more dangerous than a smart guy with no judgement.

I have no idea what that means.‘’

Exactly. I listened to a podcast that went over Putins speech the other day and the total fabrication by the entirety of the media was astonishing. I expect clickbait many times from Breitbart, it is their bread and butter, but this narrative creation is off the charts and involves everything nowadays.

I know. He hit the road when his constituents were in dire straits.

I meant that why should he care about Americans when he isn’t one? (Being snarky.)

Agree. IIRC during a filibuster, he recited entire Federalist numbers from memory.

Such a shame. My wife was his county chair in 2016.

That was dumb especially blaming his daughters. No wonder at least one daughter can’t stand him.
