Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) is urging Congress to restrict foreign state-sponsored media access on Capital Hill over concerns that they could conduct espionage on behalf of U.S. adversaries.
In a resolution introduced on March 1, Bergman said he wants to require foreign state media with credentialed members in the House news media galleries to register as foreign agents under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), arguing that such outlets shouldn’t enjoy “the same privileges as traditional media.”
