NY York Rep. Jerry Nadler Blasts FB, Google For Stealing News, Destroying Journalism Jobs At Antirust Hearing
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Tells Congress He's Not Up On HBO Max Talks, But Using Leverage Is "Normal Business"
Nadler was referring to Facebook’s vastly overstating the success of videos posted to its social network, altering the advertising landscape and pushing media outlets to pivot to video and, in the process, lay off other kinds of journalists. But Facebook had exaggerated time spent watching videos by as much as 900%, according to a class action lawsuit by advertisers. The suit, citing thousands of pages of internal Facebook documents, alleged it was aware of the issue for at least a year.
According to a study by the Pew Research Center, overall newsroom employment dropped by 23% between 2008 and 2019. The coronavirus pandemic, which slashed advertising even as news consumption surged, accelerated layoffs at media outlets. The New York Times estimated in April that 36,000 media workers were laid off, furloughed or had their pay cuts since COVID hit.
Google closed its news service in Spain in 2014 after legislation was introduced requiring it to pay publishers. French regulators have ordered Google to work out a way to compensate news outlets when their stories appear on its news tab or search results.

‘We Are Upholding The Rule Of Law,’ Bill Barr Tells Congress While Federal Agents Drag Jerry Nadler Into Unmarked VanWASHINGTON—Assuring lawmakers that his department was operating strictly according to the book, Attorney General Bill Barr told Congress during a testimony Tuesday that he only intended to “uphold the rule of law” while federal agents dragged a screaming Jerry Nadler outside into an unmarked van. “This is standard agency practice that has been in place in administrations long before this one to quiet unrest like what we’re seeing in the Capitol building today,” said Barr after unidentified agents burst into the House Chamber, covered the California representative’s face with a black bag, zip-tied his hands, and led him to a white federal vehicle awaiting along with Reps. Hakeem Jeffries and Pramila Jayapal. “When you have hundreds of Congress members demonstrating inside the building daily, we need to do something to restore order. Frankly, the resistance like some of these legislators showed in being dragged from this testimony suggests that they do not have peaceful intentions.” At press time, Mitch McConnell had requested Barr provide immediate testimony to explain why he had not yet also sent in troops to restore order in the unruly Senate chambers.
