The Federal Trade Commission Extracts a Heavy Price for Approval of the Merger of Two Ad Titans: Stop Blacklisting and Boycotting Conservative Outlets
Two major ad companies wanted to merge, but the FTC commissioner forced them to sign a consent decree. They're promising that they will no longer subject conservative outlets to an advertising boycott.
As part of a landmark merger deal, the FTC secured a commitment from two global advertising giants not to discriminate against conservative media based on political views. The move follows revelations of past collusion aimed at defunding right-leaning outlets. Key Details: The FTC approved the merger between Omnicom and IPG with strict conditions against political viewpoint discrimination. Both firms were previously involved in GARM, a now-defunct group that coordinated ad boycotts of center-right media. The agreement prohibits coordinated blacklisting of media based on ideology and imposes regular compliance checks.
Diving Deeper: Two of the world's largest advertising companies, Omnicom and Interpublic Group (IPG), will be barred from colluding or discriminating against media outlets based on political or ideological viewpoints as a condition of their newly approved merger, the Federal Trade Commission announced Monday. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson revealed that the agency had secured what he called a "major victory" for viewpoint neutrality in media. In a rare move, the FTC imposed behavioral conditions on the merger, citing past coordination between the two firms and others to defund conservative media. The firms, which together represent a third of the global advertising market, had been founding members of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), a group accused of blacklisting conservative outlets including Breitbart News, Fox News, and The Daily Wire. Ferguson emphasized that such coordination is "tantamount to an agreement not to compete on quality" and said the merger conditions will eliminate the need for costly litigation while preventing future abuses. "Specifically, the proposed decision and order prohibits Omnicom and IPG from entering into or maintaining any agreement or practice that would steer advertising dollars away from publishers based on their political or ideological viewpoints," Ferguson explained. The FTC is also continuing its broader investigation into whether more than a dozen advertising advocacy groups may have violated antitrust laws by engaging in similar viewpoint-based collusion. As part of the merger agreement, Omnicom and IPG agreed to cease any coordination that could blacklist publishers for political reasons and pledged to cooperate with federal investigators. According to Ferguson, GARM once dismissed free speech as "an extreme global interpretation of the US Constitution," citing "principles of governance" crafted exclusively by "white men." A Congressional report found that GARM led efforts to starve conservative publishers of advertising revenue, effectively attempting to "destroy publishers of content which they disapproved." A 2024 House Judiciary Committee report exposed internal GARM communications, including a message from an Omnicom executive referencing Breitbart, stating: "As much as we hated their ideology and bullshit, we couldn't really justify blocking them for misguided opinion..." Ferguson clarified that while advertisers still have the right to choose where their ads appear, they are prohibited from engaging in collective boycotts or forming "exclusion lists" to pressure others to follow suit--what he called "the supreme evil of antitrust."

When I was a kid in L.A., we used to shop at "Gemco", which I think was one of those. It was a department / grocery store combo. Huge, and I loved going there.
There was also a "Fedco", further away but also great. Iirc it was connected to a fire fighters union.

I was thinking more about Google Ads.
They pretty much canceled conservative sites when it comes to decent ad revenue.
They're notorious for cancelling AdSense on sites for things users say in the comments section.
That's why so many conservative sites have hide the comments on other pages or behind paywalls.
Google is the biggest player in online ads, and if they could get Google to stop their discrimination it would force the other big players to follow along.

GUM was the acronym for Soviet/Russian big department stores/malls.
GUM (Russian: ГУМ
[a] is a shopping center in Moscow, Russia. It was also the main department store in many cities of the former Soviet Union; similarly named stores operated in some Soviet republics and in post-Soviet states.
The most famous GUM is the large store facing Red Square in the Kitai-gorod area – itself traditionally a mall of Moscow. Originally, and today again, the building functions as a shopping mall. During most of the Soviet period it was essentially a department store as there was one vendor: the Soviet State. Before the 1920s the location was known as the Upper Trading Rows (Russian: Верхние торговые ряды, romanized: Verhnije torgovyje rjady).
As of 2021, GUM carries over 100 different brands,[1] and has cafes and restaurants[2] inside the mall.

I heard this, that it's Komodo Dragon and people's organs are dissolving? Terrifying. But I know people on it though, either for diabetes or for weight loss, and they are fine. The drugs in Botox are also appalling and yet they work, so who knows.
Research should be made on the number of women on Botox that become rabid View watching leftists. If it's high, there's definitely a correlation between willingly injecting your face with poison and political leanings.

Ad campaigns that work can be run forever. No need to hire the agency to make a new one. Thus no money for the agency.
A complete failure means you go back to the agency for another campaign more often.

when Ozempic is administered for diabetes, the dosage amt is under strict control by the doctor specializing in internal medicine.
From what I understand, Ozempic is available at medispas and other similar places where the only restraint on how much a customer can get depends on the size of their wallet. They can just go to town and get jabbed as much as they want.

Why it matters: The White House's move means the former Biden aides will have to answer questions about their private conversations with Biden, unless they or Biden try to challenge the decision in court.
"Why didn't you tell anyone about Joe Biden's mental state?" "Nobody asked me". Done, go home.
"Because there was nothing wrong with his mental state."

Take a cue from Republicans. You don't need executive privilege if you just "can't recall" anything. they never apologize for pushing the guardrails aside. Time for us to turn that back on them.
from what I can tell, the legality of this privilege remains undecided. Both Bannon and Navarro went to prison for it

I don't think she's that person.

I suspect there's some level where advertising levels off in terms of effectiveness, where it becomes decreasingly worth every extra dollar.
But only marketing firms and departments will do that research, and they have no vested interest in making it known that the next $10 million you spend on bus ads is less effective than the $2 million you already spent.

Barry Manilow wrote the Stuck on Bandaid jingle and the Like a Good Neighbor State Farm jingle.
The State farm jingle is still being used after like 40 years or so! Manilow calls it his biggest hit.
Manilow did a song called I Write The Songs.
One line in the chorus is " I write the songs that make the whole world sing"
Barry did not write this song. It was written by Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys.
However, Barry Manilow did indeed write a song the whole world has been singing even if they do not listen to his music.
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there!

It's always funny to see foreign react videos when they try Dr. Pepper or root beer. They get all excited, expecting a regular American sweet carbonated beverage, and then have a look of disgusted horror on their face the instant they taste it. Followed by almost universal comments like "it tastes like medicine".

1. Depending on obvious partisan entities to apply the "honor system", which is an act in futility.
2. Government over reach applied to private companies. Any company can have a mission statement affording their goals. Refusal to cater to a disagreeable political view is perfectly within their rights.
I don't like that they were avoiding conservative potential customers. And, I don't like that they are "barred" from doing so if they so desire.
I suppose my position is not the popular one.

I agree with you *in theory*. Its kind of like the "free trade" thing--wonderful theory.
But in practice, there seems to be a few "choke points" on the internet, and somehow these choke points seem to be in the hands of liberals and liberal maniacs. So the "free market" version of the internet seems to discriminate in only one direction. Post the wrong thing? Demonetized. Post a 2nd wrong thing? Site erase. Want to find a new place to post the erased things? Good luck--it might work for you, but 6 months later "they" might find you again.

A family friend is into all this shit. She's very rich and idle and bored. Spends insane amount of money on all this shit. I'm convinced there's no treatment or remedy too stupid that can't be made popular. If some famous influencer claims that eating human feces would make you look younger, it would be a big hit.
