  • Op-Ed # 605 AT&Ts DirecTV Drops NEWSMAX from 13 Million American Homes; "Blatant Deep State Censorship"

By Capt Joseph R. John, January 29, 2023
 

This is the second time in the past year AT&T has violated the Second Amendment moved to “Censor Freedom of Speech” of a conservative News channel:  In April 2022, AT&T DirecTV deplatformed One American News (OAN) in the same way Communists censors “Freedom of Speech”.   Those are the same policies of Communist China, Marxist Antifa Domestic Terrorist, Social Democrats, Progressives, and the Biden/Obama administration has been using the Department of Homeland Security to prevent “Freedom of Speech” in the United States.

To protect The Bill of Rights, the US Constitution, the Second Amendment, and “Freedom of Speech in the United States, we encourage you to pass this on to everyone in your address book, and take the following actions if they apply.

Actions Americans, who believe in “Freedom of Speech”, should take to Fight AT&T DirecTV’s Censorship

1. If you’re a DirecTV customer call them toll free at 877-763-9762 and demand they bring NEWSMAX back on air or you can CANCEL! [When you speak to a live operator, let them know you’re aware NEWSMAX’s live stream is ending soon on other platforms, so unless you get it on DirecTV you will have to cancel their service.]

If you are an AT&T customer for any of their products or services, call them and demand they end their censorship of NEWSMAX or you will cancel. Call AT&T toll free at 888-855-2338.

2. Call your Member of Congress or Senator at 202-224-3121 and demand they stop AT&T and DirecTV’s censorship of conservative media like NEWSMAX!

3. Go to online Petition: iWantNewsmax.com

This blatant and outrageous action by AT&T designed to prevent Americans from being prevented from hearing two sides of the story in the up-and-coming political campaigns, leading up to the national elections of 2024.  The below listed article further describes this outrageous action by AT&T.

Important from NEWSMAX:

At midnight Tuesday, AT&T's DirecTV cut Newsmax's signal, immediately shutting the network off from more than 13 million customers of the satellite service, DirecTV Stream, and U-Verse.

This is the second time in the past year AT&T has moved to cancel a conservative channel, with DirecTV deplatforming OAN in April.

"This is a blatant act of political discrimination and censorship against Newsmax," Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, said.

Despite Newsmax being the 4th highest-rated cable news channel in the nation, a top 20 cable news channel overall, and watched by 25 million Americans on cable alone, according to Nielsen, DirecTV said it was taking the step as a "cost-cutting" measure and would never pay Newsmax a cable license fee.

DirecTV pays cable license fees to all top 75 cable channels and to all 22 liberal news channels it carries. 

Almost all of these channels are paid hefty license fees significantly greater than Newsmax was seeking — and despite the fact that most of the channels have far lower ratings than Newsmax.

"The most extreme liberal channels, even with tiny ratings, get fees from AT&T's DirecTV, but [in their view] Newsmax and OAN need to be deplatformed," Ruddy said.
