Republican attorneys general from several different states are still angry about the
fact that two months ago, direct TV decided we're not going to renew the one America news
network's license, which of course, as we know means you're no longer on direct TV,
but Republicans they're still mad about it, right?
We want our right wing propaganda.
They tell us we can't function without it.
We don't know what to say.
We have to get our daily marching orders from all of these various propaganda outlets.
You know, they still have Newsmax and Fox news and Fox business, but apparently that's
not good enough.
And CNBC we'll throw that in there too.
They want one America back on.
So of course led by indicted, Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, several other states
have joined, uh, states that include the Republican AGS of Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana,
and South Carolina.
And they have demanded direct TV renew its carriage agreement with own and insist the
decision to kick the conspiracy channel to the curb is clearly viewpoint discrimination
and an attempt to silence conservative voices.
This, this is what Ken Paxton says in his letter, my fellow attorneys general, and I
strongly recommend that you reconsider your present course and renew your contract with
in April, your failure to do so will not only cause you to lose millions of dollars in business,
but also drive many millions of Americans to simply cancel your services outright.
As president Trump and other leading figures have already called for
Who
Terrifying all these conservatives, who weren't watching America to begin with you idiots,
that was actually the big driving factor, right?
As everybody remembers at and T which, you know, owns DirecTV got in trouble because
they had paid millions of dollars to get own one America news up and running, right?
Essentially they're the ones who made it into a thing.
And once that was field, the public backlash came so much that direct TV was like, all
right, look, very few people are even watching the network.
Anyway, we have the ratings data.
Let's get rid of it.
And in this controversy, that's what happens.
So sure you can call that political pressure if you want.
However, nobody forced them to do it.
They made a decision as a private business to do it, which they have the legal right
to do end of story.
But it wasn't just because of the public backlash.
As I said, it was because nobody was watching it on direct TV.
Now, last time I checked direct TV has about 14 million subscribers, uh, for the record,
about nine years ago, they had about 40 million.
So they're already hemorrhaging users over a direct TV.
More and more people are going, you know, cutting the cord.
They're going wireless.
I, I did a couple years ago.
It was great.
Direct TV bills are absolutely astronomical and ridiculous for what you get.
I'm paying less than half that and get even more channels.
Now through streaming services, it's wonderful saving a ton of money and you have more choices.
Nobody cares about direct TV.
Hell the only reason they probably still have those 14 million is cuz they still have that
exclusive contract to run in NFL Sunday ticket.
And once that expires at the end of this next football season, you get, see millions, more
people drop it.
I've spent way too much time by the way, over the last couple years researching direct TV
and all of this.
Um, so yeah, I, I, I know a lot about what is happening at the network because I've been
paying very close attention to them.
They suck and they're losing people, but they're not losing anybody because they dropped one
America.
Sorry, that's just not a thing.
And these Republican attorney generals can get all pissy if they want, but you're lying
to everybody.
When you say, excuse me, that they're attempting to silence, conservative voices, Newsmax Fox
news, Fox business, CNBC.
There are plenty of conservative outlets on that network.
Far more than there are quote liberal outlets, the liberal outlets, I guess you could include
MSNBC, which is more of a corporate liberal liberal.
And then of course you have free beach TV, which is a great network that doesn't get
the love that it deserves.
Other than that, you don't have any like liberal outlets.
Sorry you don't, but here's a bigger question.
Why are these attorneys general even doing this right?
I mean, shouldn't this be like way outside the up of their jobs demanding that this private
company that Republicans have fought for so many years to have rights of their own.
Now they're mad that they can't do anything about it.
I'm sorry, but I kind of feel like this deserves an investigation, not suggesting necessarily
that these attorneys general have done anything illegal, but I would like to see their internal
communications as to why they think that this is an issue they need to involve themselves
in.
I think a good freedom of information act actually, you know, a good investigative reporter
would be able to come along and do that in terms of an investigation, not necessarily
a criminal investigation by law enforcement, but reporters, investigative journalists get
on this.
Let's find out what the hell is going on behind the scenes at these state attorneys, general
offices that they have nothing better to do than and moan about a propaganda outlet, no
longer being on satellite TV.
