    House Democrats push TV carriers to stop hosting Fox, OAN, and Newsmax, citing ‘misin

    House Democrats push TV carriers to stop hosting Fox, OAN, and Newsmax, citing ‘misinformation’.....


    Two House Democrats on Monday questioned 12 television and content providers about why they carry Fox News, One America News Network, and Newsmax, blaming the right-leaning outlets for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.



    Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney, both from California, sent letters to television content providers such as AT&T, Roku, Comcast, and Verizon asking them why they carried the three "purported" news outlets that they say function as "misinformation rumor mills and conspiracy theory hotbeds that produce content that leads to real harm."



    The Democrats asked the content carriers if they plan "to continue carrying Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN," and if so, why.



    The letters represent Democrats' latest reactions to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack by supporters of former President Donald Trump, many of whom, Democrats say, were influenced by Fox News, OANN, and Newsmax.



    “Right-wing media outlets, like Newsmax, One America News Network (OANN), and Fox News all aired misinformation about the November 2020 elections,” McNerney and Eshoo wrote. “These same networks also have been key vectors of spreading misinformation related to the pandemic.”



    The Democrats also sent letters to content providers such as Apple, Amazon, Charter, DISH, Cox, Altice, Hulu, and Google's parent company, Alphabet.


    The House Energy and Commerce telecom subcommittee will hold a hearing on Wednesday regarding misinformation and disinformation distributed on television networks, with a focus on the Capitol attack and the coronavirus pandemic.....snip~

    Republicans need to go on the offensive with the Deviates now. If they can't then it will be left to the people to deal with them.

    Democrats Send Insane Letter to Cable Carriers and Big Tech, Demanding a Ban on Conservative Media.....


    Anna Eshoo


    House Democrats are officially harnessing the force of the federal government in an attempt to bully cable carriers and big tech platforms into banning conservative or right-leaning television networks and publications from their platforms.

    In a letter to the CEOs of AT&T, Hulu, Alphabet Inc., Altice USA, Cox Communications, Dish Network, Charter Communications, Comcast, Apple, Amazon, Roku, Democrat Congressmen Jerry McNerny and Anna Eshoo are essentially demanding contracts with right leaning outlets be terminated and therefore, deplatformed.



    We are concerned about the role AT&T plays in disseminating misinformation to millions of its U-verse, DirecTV, and AT&T TV subscribers, and we write to you today to request additional information about what actions AT&T is taking to address these issues. Nearly half of Americans get their news primarily from TV. However, not all TV news sources are the same. Some purported news outlets have long been misinformation rumor mills and conspiracy theory hotbeds that produce content that leads to real harm," they wrote. "Misinformation on TV has led to our current polluted information environment that radicalizes individuals to commit seditious acts and rejects public health best practices, among other issues in our public discourse."
    "Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN on U-verse, DirecTV, and AT&T TV both now and beyond any contract renewal date? If so, why?" they continued.


    This has nothing to do with combatting "misinformation." If that were the goal every source of media, including CNN and MSNBC, would be included. Democrats are attempting to silence conservative voices and perspectives. They're using January 6 as a justification and their pursuit of censorship is nothing short of a fascist witch hunt.....snip~

    Ben Shapiro has been taking it to Anna Eshoo, pictured above. Hope he puts out her picture to all those in California. Let this Fascist Deviate take flak from the People.
