Catholics
who use DirecTV should cancel their subscription and access a new carrier.
DirecTV, which is mostly owned by AT&T, has decided to drop Newsmax, the
cable TV station that offers quality political discourse. Why? Because Newsmax
provides for a conservative viewpoint, and the left-wing operators who run
DirecTV want to cancel that voice.
DirecTV is
claiming the decision to drop Newsmax has to do with a quarrel over fees.
Nonsense. Newsmax, which has the 4th highest TV ratings of any cable channel,
has made it clear that the real issue is its political viewpoint. Some
Democrats in Congress have been feeding the cancel culture with veiled appeals
to government censorship of cable and satellite TV providers.
It is
important that Newsmax succeed. It disseminates a fair presentation of Catholic
issues, making it a unique enterprise in TV land.
