Liberal groups are constantly trying to discredit conservative hosts and media. It seems there’s a push periodically to do in Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and others. There’s a current push to even demonize Joe Rogan who isn’t exactly conservative but suffers from three things that the liberal media doesn’t like – common sense, honest approach, and more viewers than them.
As we reported a couple of days ago, there was even a push to get Spotify to shut Rogan down, for “misinformation,” but Spotify appears not to be caving. We also saw Dan Bongino suspended from YouTube again, with that magical word “misinformation” — which translates to “things that the left doesn’t like to hear.”
Now there’s news that DirecTV intends to stop carrying One America News Network’s two channels, once their contract expires in early April. While they would still be carried by Verizon FiOS and other, smaller pay-TV providers, DirecTV is OANN’s largest distributor. In terms of revenue, it would actually cripple or doom them. According to Reuters reporter Brad Heath, OANN has said it gets 90 percent of its revenue from DirecTV owner AT&T. It’s hard to survive losing 90 percent of your revenue, if that’s true.
Although pay-TV providers have been dropping channels to lower costs, “critics” (translate: People on the left who want to shut down opposing opinion) have been pressing distributors to stop carrying them, Bloomberg acknowledges.
Today, the left celebrates and calls for Fox Newsmax and Fox News Max to succeed them. Because “democracy.” It seems, to liberals, “democracy” translates to shutting down all opinion that differs from what you want.

This also follows a push by Joe Biden calling upon tech companies to shut down “misinformation” (according to him).

Who gets to decide what “misinformation” is? Joe Biden. Biden, the man who is himself a billboard of misinformation This man has created all sorts of lies, from meeting an Amtrak conductor who is dead to saying he was being held for civil rights violations. The guy who falsely calls this the pandemic of the unvaccinated and until fairly recently (just last month) was saying you said if you were vaccinated, you couldn’t spread the virus?
We will receive daily messages from the Democratic overlords about what it is okay to say right now. Talking about misinformation in media can be done through our links to CNN, MSNBC, as well as other liberal media. Scroll through the site. Were they going to be able to see them being removed from their providers any time soon?
That is the Democratic narrative. Now, it’s not clear all the factors that entered into DirecTV’s decision, it is clear that the left is trying to shut down and block conservative media. It is important that we do everything possible to oppose them and to support free speech.
