Just like no media other Pravda was allowed in the USSR, does the USA intend for the RESTRICT act to eliminate all media sources except mainstream?

The one real difference between the American press and the Soviet state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people knew they were being lied to. To expose the lies our media tell us today, controversial journalist James O’Keefe created Project Veritas, an independent news organization whose reporters go where traditional journalists dare not. Their investigative work–equal parts James Bond, Mike Wallace, and Saul Alinsky—has had a consistent and powerful impact on its targets.

American Pravda serves as a treatise on modern media, arguing that establishment journalists have a vested interest in keeping the powerful comfortable and the people misinformed. It contests the false narratives frequently put forth by corporate media. Also, it documents the consequences of telling the truth in a world that does not want to hear it.

One political party controls most of the media in the USA. This bill will give them the power to censor the remaining 5% they don't yet control.

One thing you can be sure of...

the Democrats will release a “study” saying there is absolutely positively no censorship going on. None whatsoever.

🙄

That's what the Biden Administration and the Democrat party want.

If the democrats could silence Fox News and Newsmax they definitely would. The fake news media is indeed the enemy of the people.

Anything media that promotes itself as “truth” is anything but, examples: Pravda, Truth Social, TruNews and Project Veritas (Latin for truth).

You forget to mention; NY Times, CNN, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, BBC, Google News, NBC, and PBS.

They don’t advertise themselves as truth.

They don't advertise themselves as fake news. Therefore, at best, you are splitting hairs. They call other new sources conspiracy theorists.

[Opinion Owner]

And they’re laden with conspiracy theory and hyperbole, but mainstream isn’t any better. Pick your spin. I’m not in favor of government regulating domestic media, I’ll continue to live with it as it is.
