Deep down the list of amendments is
No 1096, which aims to
“prohibit multichannel video programming distributors from being required to carry certain video content that is owned or controlled by the Government of the Russian Federation”.
Submitted by John McCain on behalf of Lindsey Graham, both of whom are veteran Republican hawks, the provision says a distributor working in US jurisdiction
“may not be directly or indirectly required” to carry video content that is
“is owned, controlled, or financed (in whole or in part) by the Government of the Russian Federation”.
