Nobody cared because everybody knew news/media organizations won’t dissolve easily by the FARA, contrary to your claim (“they could completely financially deprive the organization”).
Because of the first amendment (that you completely missed).
CGTN and RT are alive and kicking in the US, despite the FARA. Did they dissolve like the Apple Daily?
Didn’t Tiktok survive Trump’s ban a year ago? (That’s an executive order, not FARA, but that doesn’t matter when we are talking about executive power and the legal system.) Numerous argued against it on the grounds of free speech. [1][2]
“oust or imprison foreign news organizations at the total discretion of the executive”? Are you sure?
