RNC’s Ronna McDaniel: Newsmax ‘Censored,’ DirecTV Had ‘Clear Bias’
RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel slammed AT&T's DirecTV for censorship in sharply worded statement released to the press Wednesday.
"DirecTV's decision to censor Newsmax — the fourth-highest rated program on cable TV — is a slap in the face to the voters who pay the network's bills," McDaniel said.
"The fact that DirecTV continues to support and pay full fees for smaller, hard-left networks shows that this is yet another instance of clear bias against conservatives."
McDaniel's statement in support for Newsmax comes after Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., and 17 congressmen took the House floor to Tuesday, castigating AT&T DirecTV for deplatforming Newsmax.
House Republicans vowed to conduct oversight, if not deliver accountability and legislative action against the Big Tech companies that move to engage in political discrimination.
"I applaud House Republicans for taking important steps to hold DirecTV accountable for their censorship of Republican voices: Our system only works when all political viewpoints can be discussed and debated without fear of punishment," McDaniel's statement concluded.
DirecTV said it was taking Newsmax off its service as a "cost-cutting" measure — a similar claim made after it deplatformed OAN last year.

DirecTV continues to carry 22 liberal news channels, many with low ratings, and all get paid hefty license fees. Newsmax was seeking a small fee, as the nation's fourth highest-rated cable news channel.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, joined by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, released a letter Wednesday demanding to know why DirecTV treated Newsmax differently than all other cable news channels.
Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said removal of his network was a "blatant act of political censorship."

More people are wanting to know why you support a Dummy in the Whitehouse. Joe can't even find his way off stage, can't do an interview without notes, lies like Motherf**ker, stole classified docs while a Senator, sole his soul to foreigners.

The dem-rats elected Hakeem Jeffries as their minority leader- a known election denier. So, what's your point?

Who gives a f**k what people in NY want? If I had to choose which state to live in, NY-a crime ridden, dirty, norisey, leftist strong hold or Fl- a law abiding, peaceful, quiet, beautiful state, I'd take the latter
