Bokhari: House Republicans Should Wait Until January on JCPA

Media lobbyists and their allies in both houses of congress are mounting a last-ditch effort to pass the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA), a bill to enable further collusion between the media industry and Big Tech.

The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) was saved from legislative oblivion yesterday after Sen.

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.
