Following on the heels of the demand from the White House to start blocking content against the interests of the Biden administration, DirecTV the satellite television communication company now part of the AT&T network, has announced their decision to drop the One America News Network channel because OAN is perceived to be supportive of Donald Trump.
DirecTV, one of the largest U.S. pay-TV providers, plans to drop One America News Network, dealing a major blow to the conservative channel that's been criticized for spreading misinformation and had a loyal fan in former President Donald Trump.
The satellite-TV provider has notified OAN's owner, Herring Networks Inc., that it plans to stop carrying the company's two channels when their contract expires.
"We informed Herring Networks that, following a routine internal review, we do not plan to enter into a new contract when our current agreement expires," the company said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg News.
DirecTV's contract with Herring Networks expires in early April, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Herring Networks didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Even DirecTV customers who may not watch OAN, yet retain some reasonable disposition to see a slippery slope as it becomes evident, are likely to view this decision negatively.
