Sorry old guy but you have totally missed the target with that rant.

The central focus of Trump’s rant is the shutting down of information available to conservatives.

People work. They don’t have time to sit in the porch rocker and hunt down news. They flip on the tv, turn on the news garher what they can in the few moments available to them in a few minutes time.

Now alk that’s available are the meth induces fantasies of the liberal news.

Yes, shutting down what’s clearly a first amendment issue.. news.. is a big deal that deserves punishment.

The power is the people and this is one way it can be exerted.

Trump wants us to understand that and he wants communist influencers to understand that.

It’s the viewers choice. Carriers should not be censoring Newsmax. Let the viewers decide!

You don’t understand what we are up against. The obvious media censorship of conservative viewpoints must stop.

I am pointing out Trump needs to choose his battles. And I suspect most Americans have no clue about OAN or the other TV show. And I don’t care if you are not fond of me...I am attempting to point out the possible ramifications of Trumps actions and how they are perceived. Can you tell me the size of the viewing audience of OAN or the other show?? 1 million, 5 million...?? It’s gonna take 75plus million to insure a WIN.

I think we need to have an investigation and put some pressure on AT&T/DirecTV. USE YOUR POWER!

Yeah he should just shut up and not have any opinions on anything other than what you think is important. Which begs the question of why you don’t have more important things to post about other than what Donald Trump is saying.

This isn’t about DirectTV canceling a game show. It’s about political censorship, and it’s no small deal to 13+ million Newsmax viewers (if I remember that number correctly).

It’s from Twitter. They gave permission. Mind your business.

You won’t find too many issues that will galvanize 75 million people to support you. So a good political candidate will pick lots of different battles — to make sure he covers ALL of them.

And it starts at OAN, then Newsmax. Social Media. They want to go after talk radio next. And Fox News. We’re not playing a game here. This is serious.

Perhaps not but at&t sure ruined the hell out of directv IMO.

After that unholy marriage I saw many customer friendly features vanish with no explanation all the while the monthly cost continued to increase while programming decreased.

My only regret is not dropping them way before I did.

he chooses to comment on a TV show..???”

It is not a “TV Show” It is one of the very few news networks that are not worthless rat propagandists. It is damn important and Trump is right to raise hell about it.
