Dems Trying to Censor Fox, OAN, Newsmax Got Donations from Cable, Dish and Big Tech
NewsBusters ^ | 2/23/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 02/23/2021 10:16:15 AM PST by JV3MRC

Two California Representatives spearheaded a letter calling on mass liberal cable, satellite and Big Tech companies they took donations from to censor Fox News, One America News Network and Newsmax. The call to silence these outlets by Democrat representatives was wholly un-American.

The New York Times reported that the letter signed by Reps. Gerald McNerney (D-CA) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) questioned the roles of “Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox [, Altice] … Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google and Hulu” on the alleged “spread of dangerous misinformation.” The letter reportedly asked: “‘Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, OANN and Newsmax on your platform both now and beyond the renewal date? If so, why?’” The letter accused that “the cable, satellite and over-the-top companies that disseminate these media outlets to American viewers have done nothing in response to the misinformation aired by these outlets.”

Open Secrets records revealed that both Eshoo and McNerney have received PAC donations from many of the very companies they pressured in their letter during the 2020 electoral cycle.

We’re just watching the robbing of the corpse. The fight is over, now the left is taking the wallet, the watch, the pocket change, the boots... etc. off of the corpse.

The only real path for some of us will be to try to find a place out of the way, where they may take time to get to us. For those that are still making a career, and don’t have options of where to go to live, you have my sympathies. It’s getting bumpy, and it will only get worse.

They want to be the only ones with a voice. You just listen to what they want you to hear. And believe it. Or else..

Can you imagine the reaction if a GOP-controlled house started making noises about curtailing the steady misinformation and disinformation flowing from CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC/MSNBC (e.g., regarding the Russia hoax, Hunter Biden, the Big Guy’s dementia, coverup of racial crime statistics, etc.)

I wonder how the Murdoch boys are feeling about this? Are their wives yelling “we did it”?

Eshoo is dumber then a box of rocks.

She got as far as community college and then she thought she’d get into Congress to get out of the house since she didn’t know how to do anything.

And unfortunately the Highly Intelligent people of the Peninsula have kept re-electing her for the last 30 some odd years because she’s basically done nothing so no one notices her.

So it’s good she pulls a disgusting stunt like this.

Always good to put sunlight on cockroaches.

dump cable tv.

force cable companies to dump basic bundle and go a la carte.

starve the LEFTIST channels. A substantial amount of their revenue is from cable subscriber fees.

stream only the channels you want to support.

“Dangerous misinformation” is any representation of reality that contradicts in any way the strange and convoluted universe that the Democrat ?Socialists? have built up through their favorite myths and untouchable Reliable Sources.

Just have to keep throwing out that “dangerous misinformation”, in the hopes that the echoing cognitive dissonance that feeds this New World Order is somehow interrupted and revealed for the false messaging and virtual signaling that it is.

Sinclair should invest in one or more of these networks, or start one.

So should the Mercers.

If they do this, I will definitely cancel my cable package - it’s already on the thinnest of ice.

If you cancel, don't tell them why, or your name will be added to "the list".
