I just might drop DirecTV.

“This [dropping OAN network] is highly troubling and disappointing. Not just because this is an unwise business decision, but because you are masking what is obviously viewpoint discrimination with neutral corporate-speak; your decision was certainly not based on a ‘routine internal review.’ Rather, your cancelation of OAN comes after a crescendo of powerful leftwing voices demanded that you take action against them.” - a letter by Republican Attorneys General, led by Ken Paxton of Texas

Glad to hear Direct TV has a moral compass. I vote conservative on many issues/individuals but that doesn't blind me to garbage propaganda spewed by sites like OANN and NewsMax.

How high were their ratings? How much money did they make DirecTV?

We suffered through Direct TV for one year (years ago) because we signed a contract of sorts. At our location, we would lose the connection if it starting sprinkling.
No watching severe weather threat reports for us. We had to turn on the radio.

I can't vote because the poll question implies the OP is a Trump the Terrorist worshiper mad at the decision. A poll must be completely unbiased no matter what.

OAN is very popular with the party that tried an insurrection of the USA in DC.



i bet a lot of the insurrection supporters and sympathizers will be pissed.
A truly clueless post. Babbling about things unknown.
