WASHINGTON – Following the news that DirecTV has censored Newsmax, the fourth-highest-rated cable news channel in the U.S., from its channel lineup, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement:
“DirecTV’s decision to censor Newsmax – the fourth-highest rated program on cable TV – is a slap in the face to the voters who pay the network’s bills. The fact that DirecTV continues to support and pay full fees for smaller, hard-left networks shows that this is yet another instance of clear bias against conservatives. I applaud House Republicans for taking important steps to hold DirecTV accountable for their censorship of Republican voices: our system only works when all political viewpoints can be discussed and debated without fear of punishment.”
