    all jokes aside, i would LOVE a news station that just reported the facts, and not opinions and 23 hours a day of "panelists". but the general populace has spoken: they love their drama with a side of news, not the other way around anymore. it will be impossible to put that cat back in the bag.

    Yay. Garbage.


    DirecTV announced Friday evening that it will sever ties with One America News later this year, pulling the conservative news channel from millions of homes and dealing a significant blow to the pro-Trump network.

    The channel, which rose to prominence during the Trump administration and has promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election and coronaviruspandemic, will be dropped from DirecTV in early April when its contract expires. OAN’s sister channel, A Wealth of Entertainment, will also be removed from the satellite provider. Both channels are owned by Herring Networks and founded by Robert Herring Sr.

    “We informed Herring Networks that, following a routine internal review, we do not plan to enter into a new contract when our current agreement expires,” a DirecTV spokesperson said in a statement to The Washington Post.
