Sen. John Thune (R-SD), the Senate GOP whip and a likely contender in any future battle to replace Mitch McConnell as GOP leader, is backing a bill that is effectively a bailout for the discredited corporate media.
All explained how the bill would benefit America’s largest, wealthiest, and most corrupt media companies.
It is also notable in that Thune leans heavily for cover on other Republicans who have co-sponsored the bill, in particular name-checking specifically GOP Sens. Rand Paul , Lindsey Graham , and John Kennedy . After Republicans negotiated in good faith with Democrats on the CHIPS Act to push semiconductor funding, the Democrats turned around and revived a core element of President Joe Biden’s agenda by passing a giant package via reconciliation on purely partisan lines. That good faith legislative attitude that led to the CHIPS plan passage and many other bipartisan deals over the past year and a half seemed to have been seriously soured in the wake of the Democrats’ move.
