Rep. Moore to Newsmax: DirecTV 'Snuffed Out' Newsmax
https://www.newsmaxtv.com/Shows/National-Report


Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., said DirecTV's move to censor Newsmax by dropping the network from its platform confirms "what we've known all along."

"A lot of the media in this country is controlled, and they're in the tank for the left," Moore said during an appearance Thursday on Newsmax's "National Report." "When Newsmax actually speaks out, shares the t***h, tries to push it out to the American people, then its voice is quashed, much like many of the other conservatives in our country."

AT&T's DirecTV cut Newsmax's signal Jan. 24, blocking the network from more than 13 million subscribers of the satellite service, DirecTV Stream and U-Verse.

Newsmax is America's fourth highest-rated news network in the cable landscape and a top-20 overall channel that reaches 25 million Americans weekly, according to the Nielsen ratings.

While DirecTV said it dropped the popular network due to "cost-cutting" measures, it also carries 22 left-leaning news channels, many of which draw considerably lower ratings than Newsmax, and all of which get paid license fees.

DirecTV has claimed that Newsmax was demanding "excessive fees" that would amount to "tens of millions" of dollars. Newsmax has denied that, saying it is seeking an approximate fee of $1 per cable subscriber per year, which is among the lowest requested fees in cable.

"This was never about the fees being excessive," Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax said. "DirecTV's position has always been that Newsmax of all cable news channels should never get any cable fee whatsoever, not one penny."

In 2021, House Democrats, under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, wrote a letter to AT&T demanding that Newsmax, OAN, and Fox News be removed from its platform because they claimed the networks promoted misinformation.

OAN was removed from DirecTV in April 2022.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has told DirecTV to preserve any correspondence from Democrat lawmakers or the White House asking conservative networks be taken off the air, as congressional Republicans vow to investigate.

"IT" likes someone else deciding what is or isn't t***h for "IT". That's why it supports the left "no brains necessary".

They dropped One America News Network too, even more right wing than Newsmax.
Advance Publications dropped Dilbert from the comic pages because Scott Adams told the t***h about r****m.
This is dictator stuff. Squash any contrary opinion.
Steal an e******n and immediately make it a crime to say that the e******n was s****n.
That's dictator stuff.
