For a brief moment during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Thursday morning hearing in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill, the “Journalism Competition and Preservation Act of 2021” earned another moment in the spotlight.
The legislation, introduced in March 2021 by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), was put on life support one week ago after Texas Republican Ted Cruz introduced an amendment, passed by the Committee, that would omit what the GOP believes is government policing of content on the internet.
Is Klobuchar’s bill getting an edit, and is ready to move forward? Yes.
