Posted By: Diesel OAN booted - 01/22/22
Oan news has been cancelled from Direct TV. Newsmax has been cancelled from some smaller carriers too.

There will be a full court press to silence all voices of opposition.

I went back to put the link up but it is gone now.

I have been following OAN for awhile now and it is definitely the most conservative of the Newsmax and Fox threesome. I am curious if Fox or Newsmax will even mention it on their broadcasts.

They're both still on Pluto TV,,,, how long that well last if what you say is going on.

I totally expect that the socialists/commies will go all out with complete abandon in the run up to this next election. They are a nasty bunch and I bet we will see stuff here in the US we would not have imagined. Buckle up.

This is a big deal. Some might joke about it but I bet the founding fathers would be at war over this by now.

I hear what you're saying but, do you think a private entity like DirectTV should be able to make their own decisions on their programming?

You can stream it directly through ROKU - the subscription is only about $5/month..

We got rid of the damned dish outfits several years ago.. And won't go back.

I do indeed. I also believe you should support folks who believe as you do. I have Dish and they don’t offer OAN.
This can be a financial decision. AT&T who owns Direct dropped OAN because they didn’t agree with their political views. Vote with your wallet. Hasbeen

Not if they have FCC protection under Section 230.

Any Communication distributer should be obligated to allow opposing views under the fairness guidelines of FCC. Otherwise, the biggest money players would control the message just like Pravda in Russia. Liberal or conservative. I don't think either side would be happy if their view was obliterated.

The trouble for rural folks is receiving signals. Dish and Direct are our choices and now we won't have access to OAN from either.

I had to look up section 230. Looks like it applies to websites and social media, not broadcast media. At least as far as I can tell.

Are you saying DirectTV falls under section 230?

You continue your blithering idiocy. Proof you are a solid Biden voter. Weird how you leftist scum keep pounding it out, that a private entity or individual has the right to tell you to shut up without repercussion simply because of your political speech which happens to be the most protected speech at all. But the GFY.

LOL how about answering the question? If you owned DirectTV, would you want to be forced to carry MSNBC? It's the same thing.

Hint: It's a yes or no question.

Edited to add: A broadcaster dropping a program is not a free speech issue and if you think it is, you need to study up on the constitution.

I don't know, but it should be looked into. However, probably a waste of time considering our two faced SCOTUS, considering the way facebook, twitter et al have been getting away with censorship without so much as a good "talkin' too".

As for OAN still being on Direct TV, you can access OAN easily on your computer presently. I am listening to Trump's interview as I type this.

It's business, I believe in freedom of speech you fuqtard and I would carry both or any network. As for studying the constitution you idiot where does it say anyone has the right to tell you to STFU? Those are fighting words you POS.

I don't disagree, especially platforms like facebook and google. At some point they get to be so universal (by their own design) that they shouldn't be able to claim they're a private entity.

But where do you draw the line? Like I said, if you owned DirectTV, would you want to be forced to carry MSNBC and the like? It cuts both ways.

What on earth are you blubbering about? Who told who to STFU?

And by the way, calling me a POS is "fighting words" too. Easily said from a keyboard.

There is no need for satellite tv anymore unless you live in one of the few places that dosent have decent internet. Or if you are not computer literate I guess. I would do without tv before I used directv service again. SO screw em

Funny as hell to see someone saying that DIrectTV dropping a program is a free speech issue while he's watching that same program on another carrier.

You can't make this schit up.

Contract ends in early April it seems.

and it's pretty bad news for OAN as according to this they get 90% of their funding from Direct TV. (likely through ad revenue)

And for those wondering if some of the more liberal sources would cover this news:
