Why does the bill single out "Journalism" as the sole type of content that requires an anti trust exception to take on distributed publishing in the online world?
Why not help the music industry, the pornography industry and scores of other types of content that are pilfered everyday in the name of the section 230 protections that these platforms enjoy?
The answer, if i may offer an opinion, is to indirectly impose an illegal tax on a profitable business model to serve as a "forever fund" into the hands of businesses that support a certain political viewpoint.
The mainstream media does not represent honest journalists and this collective bargaining contract will only empower the mass-media behemoths to continue pushing groupthink while independent, small journalists who dare report on stories such as sex scandals involving politicians (or their sons hacked computers with videos containing drugs and prostitutes) will get cut out of the collective contract.
