House Judiciary Committee Scores Victory as Dentsu Drops Plans for New Ad Group Amid Antitrust Probe
The House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, has achieved a significant victory in its ongoing investigation into alleged anti-conservative bias in the advertising industry. Following scrutiny, Japanese advertising giant Dentsu has abandoned plans to create a new coalition of global marketers, which the committee suspected could mirror the actions of the now-defunct Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM). The committee previously accused GARM of engaging in anti-competitive practices and boycotting conservative news outlets, leading to its eventual disbandment.
