AT&T drops NEWSMAX from all of its platforms as of midnight on Tuesday, January 24th

This is the second conservative channel AT&T has de-platformed in the past year, after it cancelled OAN in April of 2022! I love NEWSMAX especially Greg Kelly.

NEWSMAX is the 4th highest-rated cable news channel in U.S. And NEWSMAX is the top 16th highest-rated cable channel overall for daytime viewers.

Meanwhile, AT&T's DirecTV still carries 22 liberal news channels – And almost all of these channels have lower ratings than NEWSMAX.

The message is clear: AT&T and DirecTV are seeking to eliminate and demonetize conservative media so they can’t compete with liberal news channels.

Democrat Liberal censorship of free speech for Conservatives is unAmerican!

Newsmax has over 14 million viewers and is the only station that covers all the Trump rallies. AT&T also owns CNN which continues on despite being dismal in the ratings far behind NEWSMAX.

But, you get The First with Bill O’Reilly instead. Yea for you!

NewsMax asked for more money from Direct TV and didn’t bring in enough advertisement revenue to pay for their increase and Direct TV would have to raise rates. You’d scream about that, wouldn’t you? Smart business decision to get the conservative voice from a new (and cheaper) outlet.

You bought the official lie like all knee-jerk shallow consumers do. AT&T had previously announced record earnings of $2.8 billion in profit. Why would they need to cut costs and sacrifice diversity in the first place?

And if they already have 22 Liberal news stations with dismal ratings so they've gotten rid of two up and coming conservative ones with stellar ratings how does that make business sense? It doesn't.

Corporate Liberalism practicing censorship, stifling free speech, and discriminating in favor of Democrats. Watch the fake news or nothing. Fascism in the marketplace. The Dems are good at this.

Sidesteps and refuses to accept the validity of some of Foto’s comments.

I have observed your adherence to the “party line” of decrying anything that seems to oppose the democrat-socialist ideology you have professed in prior inane posts — a tendency that has continued in regards to the subject discussed in this case.
I await your obnoxious personal attacks in regards to this post as well, but will not be responding in kind.

Lol, you're ruining his favorite narrative for those times it serves his bs. Typically followed by his cutsie and condescending personal attacks.

He has shown great love for Newsmax! Gee, what a surprise!
