Cuz they had to beg the US gov for them; they are pretty much free to use under the condition that you do not critize the government's foreign policy or the army itself.
So if you want to make a war movie that is critical of the government, good luck.
And thats just one example; there is much more regarding all the "experts" send on television to talk about this or that country that happens to be at odd with the Washington dictatorship.
- Eisenstein 2y agoYou missed the word 'explicitly'.
- Gormo 2y agoSo the examples you're citing are all of the US government attempting to influence media through incentives and quid-pro-quo arrangements, i.e. exactly the same way every other organization in our society attempts to do so, precisely because it is not able to exercise any sort of direct political power over the media in the way that China does. I'm sure this legislation will be almost immediately overturned by the courts. It has severe first amendment and fifth amendment problems, along with possibly being an illegal bill of attainder.
