Despite the telecom giant's vast reach and resources, "average Americans" are "standing up" to AT&T's censorship of Newsmax, former CIA analyst Fred Fleitz said Tuesday.
"I think things are looking good," Fleitz told "American Agenda" of a possible Newsmax reinstatement on DirecTV.
"Look, we see left-wing groups staging these boycotts all the time," he said. "Here we have average Americans standing up to censorship by Big Tech of conservative voices, and as a result, AT&T's stock has went down 7% — $10 billion."

"You just never see conservatives or average Americans having such an effect on the stock price," Fleitz continued. "And I'm just thinking if AT&T cares about its business, they're going to have to reinstate Newsmax on AT&T and DirecTV platforms."
According to Yahoo Finance, the share price for an AT&T stock on Jan. 25 — when the decision was made to drop Newsmax — during opening was $20.28. On Feb. 14, the closing price was $19.15.
In a letter marked Feb. 1, 2023, Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, noted that "AT&T owns 70% of DirecTV."
