I am surprised...
« on: January 27, 2023, 02:59:30 AM »
  I am surprised that nobody has mentioned this direct attack upon the first article of the Bill of Rights..

  Direct tv has booted Newsmax off it's platform.  There is no rational explanation, since Newsmax is rated #4
   cable news channel. 

  No explanation other than another assault against our freedom of speech. They cut off One America News last year..

   I would have cancelled Direct 3 days ago, except I already did that a year ago.

   No excuse for any patriot to keep supporting those anti-freedom kind.

CORRECT! And they're replacing Newsmax with a new channel  called THE FIRST.An even more conservative group of hosts including Mike Slater, Liz Wheeler,  Dana Loesch, Bill O'Reilly ::), and Jesse Kelly.

I'm hoping it's even better than Newsmax.

  Are you saying that- DirectTv is setting  up this new deal...  Hope so, and hope it works out..but Newsmax is already #4 cable news.

DirectTV is advertising it themselves as the replacement to Newsmax.


IN FACT DANA LOESCH HAS HER OWN SHOW AND IS ON RIGHT NOW.

BTW, Direct TV cannot violate your 1st amendment rights, since it is NOT the government.

Not speaking legalities, just talking fair play.

  So DTV drops #4 cable channel, while saying they will substitute a replacement of their own.

 Interesting; they dropped OAN just last year, now it is Newsmax...hmmm

  So now they still have 22 lefty news venues, with the suggestion that a real conservative one is in the works..

How do you know their not being fair? You haven't seen the new network,  or any of the new shows.

  So DTV drops #4 cable channel, while saying they will substitute a replacement of their own.

You don't have DirecTV, so what do you care?

 Interesting; they dropped OAN just last year, now it is Newsmax...hmmm

Do you think its a conspiracy?

  So now they still have 22 lefty news venues, with the suggestion that a real conservative one is in the works..

Actually, whadda you care? You won't be affected,  your not on DirecTV. ;D

Yeah!  Why should I care that Fake news has at least 90% of the media outlets, and spends much time, effort and money, censoring anything positive concerning their "enemy", conservative, patriotic, Americans?

  Why should I care? 
 
  That Donald Trump, Rand Paul and Michael Walsh and many* others, /have all called for us to dump Direct TV
  must be just a misunderstanding...

Why would I dump "anything" because two politicians, and one I've never heard of said to?

BTW.  The replacement channel that has replaced newsmax is loaded with popular conservatives in talk-show format. I agree with what most say, but ITS BORIN AS HELL.

The reason for a major source dumping some thing is most often there god, the almighty dollar, whether liberalor conservative.
I in reality watch, and now listen, to very little news other than the giggling dork Carlson (I like his stance but his giggling is moronic) and the local news for weather at Ten O"Clock.

I cannot get the good talk radio stations due to  where I am now, it has very poor over the air reception for any thing except stations who are in town.
The boys who replaced Rush, just are not that good, and I no longer stay up late listening to radio any more.
There used to be some very, very good late night radio personalities, but some are dead and others were dropped.

Believe it or not, Jesse (now a whacko) Ventura and the ex-wife of one of our governors, had an absolutely excellent day time radio show, but they were cancelled for  being/sounding -- heck -- a lot like Trump does now, 30 some years ago.

That station is now owned by ESPN. >:(

"Free Market Economy"

Vendors can sell what ever they please (if legal)
Consumers can choose to BUY or NOT

Isn't this the "Conservative" viewpoint?????

Yep, and this is the place to spew annoyances. :-*

At that, political actions, ( the Mayor could have vetoed it) reduced the number of vendors available where I am at now, that is not free economy, but BS  political lies.

If you are in the country, you can always get Starlink from SpaceX.  $500 for the flat pizza sized satellite dish, that can be installed level in a clear area or on your roof.  It also includes the modem and router.  It is now $110 a month for internet service and you can stream TV, using several choices of streaming services, as well as getting apps for your favorites.  There is probably an app for Newsmax.  SpaceX is launching more satellites about every week now.  They launched over 60 rockets last year.  Their goal is 100 this year and they launched 8 in January.  The more satellites they launch the faster the service becomes.  Also, Musk is a big supporter of free speach even if is is somewhat weird.  Right now Starlink alone is giving him $1 billion a year in revenue for SpaceX with around 1 million customers, but he is poised to expand into Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America in areas where they have no cable.  Some have suggested that if he gets 100 million customers world wide he will be the worlds first trillionaire.  SpaceX also launches astronauts for NASA, and so far two private orbital flights paid for by billionaries, and he launches supplies for the space station.  And, he launches spy satellites for the Space Force (was Air Force).  He is building more launch pads at Florida, and at Boca Chica, Texas.  He reuses his rockets unlike other countries and companies.  He has haters, especially on the left, but he is a mover and shaker

We saw Elon Musk once at a car show in Houston. He made a little speech then back to the business at hand. That cyber truck was cool up close. But recently a Tesla car battery compartment caught on fire and burned it down to the ground. No thanks, we will pass on a EV California. The firemen first responders sure did look like it pissed them off. >:(
