DirecTV Removes Conservative News Network in Blow to Free Speech

"The largest satellite provider in the United States said late Friday it will drop One America News, a move that could financially cripple the rightwing TV network known for fueling conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

The announcement by DirecTV, which is 70% owned by AT&T, comes three months after a Reuters investigation revealed that OAN’s founder testified that AT&T inspired him to create the network. Court testimony also showed that OAN receives nearly all of its revenue from DirecTV."

OAN news is as phony as a $3 bill and the BS about the election being stolen from Trump. Good riddance.
@RedBaron The only people who will lose out is Dominion. Not much point in suing a broke company.

@RedBaron LOL, if the last elektion was so perfect, why are the demonocrats trying to federalize elektions?
@sunsporter1649 Still can't spell I see. I see your conspiracy theories are not suffering though. Making up even more bullshit.


So when are you and Mikey Pillow going to produce some evidence?

@sunsporter1649 It wasn't perfect, but we got rid of Trump. Close enough. You really need some new material after 15 months.

@RedBaron And to hell with The Constitution, right?
RedBaron · M
@sunsporter1649 I disagree. You really shouldn't disrespect the Constitution.
@sunsporter1649 You mean the document you have never read?
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@RedBaron Shall we begin with who is permitted to participate in elections?

"San Francisco allows undocumented immigrants to vote in school elections"

"New York Moves to Allow 800,000 Noncitizens to Vote in Local Elections"
@sunsporter1649 It is the right wing who is trying to make voting a privilege they can arbitrarily revoke. So spare us the bullshit.


And nice irrelevant tangent. And what is that about wanting to federalize elections? You are implying the Federal government should dictate local elections here.


Typical hypocrite.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow LOL, Republicans are federalizing elektions? And that from someone who has not read the demonocrats bill to federalize elektions, in direct opposition to The Constitution.

"Ban state photo voter ID laws, including prohibiting any ID for absentee ballots or the signature of a witness, making it impossible to verify the authenticity of the vote;

Make it easy to commit fraud and promote chaos at the polls by requiring states to implement same-day voter registration, giving election officials no time to verify the accuracy of the registration and the eligibility of the voter or to anticipate the number of ballots and election workers needed at polling places;

Degrade the accuracy of voter registration lists by severely restricting the ability of states to verify the eligibility and qualifications of voters and removing ineligible voters;

Require states to allow online voter registration not tied to an existing state record on an individual, such as a driver’s license, which would open up registration systems to massive voter registration fraud by cybercriminals;

Require states to automatically register individuals to vote from state and federal databases, such as state Departments of Motor Vehicles, which would result in the registration of ineligible voters, including aliens, and cause multiple registrations of the same individuals (the sponsors know this, which is why they’ve put in an immunity-from-prosecution provision for aliens who get registered);

Give unaccountable and unelected bureaucrats at the U.S. Department of Justice veto authority over most election changes made by state legislatures – an invasion of state sovereignty that violates federalism and overrides the decisions of the voters and their elected state representatives to determine the election rules for their state;

Require states to restore the ability of felons to vote the moment they exit prison, voiding state requirements that criminals first complete all the requirements of their sentence such as parole, probation, and restitution payments to their victims;

Provide a public funding program for congressional candidates, forcing taxpayers to support candidates they would never vote for or send campaign contributions to;

Force states to provide drop boxes for absentee ballots without requiring any security protocols, as well as force states to allow voter trafficking, i.e., letting paid political operatives, candidates, campaign staffers, and others with a stake in the outcome of the election to pick up and handle absentee ballots;

Implement a whole series of restrictions and changes to federal campaign laws that would limit political speech and turn the Federal Election Commission into a partisan law enforcement agency."

Everybody votes....16 year old's, convicted child molesters, dead civil war veterans, illegal aliens....everyone!
@sunsporter1649
First off to change any of the things you take issue with at those MUNICIPAL elections would require federal meddling in local elections. So you are the one demanding federal overreach.

Get familiar with the Voting Rights Act and get back to me.

Fictional bullshit you made up so not worth addressing.

Again, get familiar with the Voting Rights Act. This is embarrassing. You are what happens when public schools are defunded.


A bunch of clap trap about how horrible it is to make it easier for people to vote.

Might as well just go back to making it the exclusive privilege of rich, white land owners and drop the pretense.

More bullshit you have no evidence of.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Everybody votes, 16 year olds, illegal aliens, convicted murderers, dead civil war veterans, everybody.

Try cashing your welfare check without an id.

Yeah, what the hell, drop in at the polling station, then drop in at the next poling station, then drop by the next poling station....

Everybody votes, 16 year olds, illegal aliens, convicted murderers, dead civil war veterans, everybody.
@sunsporter1649 More conspiracy bullshit you can't back up. Just bullshit fear mongering.

It is cute you think that is what ID laws are about.

You are either dishonest or stupid. I vote for both.

@sunsporter1649 Looks like I broke the bot again. Someone needs to hit your reset switch.

@sunsporter1649 As I said, please don't disrespect the Constitution like that.
@RedBaron Sunsporter has clearly never read the document.

Read it yourself
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow His parents told him when he was very small that it protected him from being obliged to care whether he makes others ill.
@sunsporter1649 More dishonest cherry picking bullshit.

And unfortunately for you the only cases of voter fraud that have ever been proven are all on your side. 😆

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Once again you prove you have not read HR 1, which is typical of pmsnbc viewers, just repeating what their talking heads spew
