Texas GOP Rep. Michael Cloud decried DirecTV's dropping of Newsmax as an act fueled by "Marxism" and a will toward an "authoritarian state."
"You know, we're going to keep looking into this," Cloud told "Prime News" on Tuesday regarding DirecTV's dropping of Newsmax. We "have these companies that we — you know, in times past had looked at them as great American success stories. We would even look at them as maybe brand ambassadors of Americanism.
"And what we see now is they're being the enforcement arm for an authoritarian state that has Marxist ideals being promoted here. And to come against conservatives constantly is just a — you know, we can't be having this. And a lot of these companies are getting federal funds."
The congressman then suggests, "If they're going to have a biased sort of tilt, maybe we should be looking at these sort of things."
Actions to Take Now
1. DirecTV customers: Call them toll free at 877-763-9762 and demand they bring NEWSMAX back on air. President Donald Trump urges you CANCEL!
- Important: If DirecTV tells you we are still negotiating, that is a lie! They have told NEWSMAX we will never be on a regular cable channel. DirecTV also replaced NEWSMAX with a channel that has no news and no ratings. Also, NEWSMAX's livestream is ending soon on other platforms, so unless you get it on DirecTV you will have to cancel their service.
2. AT&T customers: Call toll free at 888-855-2338, for any of their cellphones, wireless products, or services, and demand they end their censorship of NEWSMAX. President Trump has urged you to cancel their services.
3. Call your congressman or senator at 202-224-3121 and demand they stop AT&T/DirecTV's censorship of NEWSMAX — ask them to give you a date on the hearings!
