DIRECTV dropping OANN?

Excellent, thank you for this perfect teaching opportunity. You are repeating what the left media has ordered you to think. Left media misquotes the right, then attacks the misquote. That's what you're dutifully repeating here, an attack on a misquote. It's a great way of avoiding the real issue.

But to understand the real issue, you must first understand what the role of a poll watcher or election canvassing board is. Do you? Probably not, it seems you only watch the stupid news. 

Ever hear the term "chain of custody"? You won't hear it on CNN or MSNBC. For an election process, it refers to the obligation of a state voting organization to maintain complete exclusive ownership of the voting process starting at the point a vote is transferred from a qualified voter into the system, all the way through to the point that a final tally is reported upline to the state. The hand-off from voter to local poll to aggregator to reporter must be secure and unbroken with no outside intervention. If not, they aren't supposed to certify the election, because this is what "certifying an election" requires - that the "chain of custody" wasn't broken. It is not the obligation of a poll watcher or canvassing board to prove fraud. It is their sworn duty to assert an unbroken chain of custody.

In the 2020 president election, reports of breaks in chains of custody were and are rampant. This includes hundreds (thousands?) of sworn affidavits.

Yet canvassing boards, in violation of their oaths of office, certified elections anyway. So did the US Congress, ignoring their own law.

I have about 50 hours of video testimony from over a half dozen states involving hundreds of witnesses swearing to broken chains of custody all over the nation, especially in key swing states. This includes active intervention from lefties during poll watching duties.

Here's just one brief snippet from that video: http://zebrathepony.com/view?m=cCNLBjuCK 

If you watched actual news you would know all of this. Obviously you don't, and it seems you'll soon be robbed of the opportunity, unless you're smart enough to go seek it out, and I don't suspect that will happen.

Enjoy your bubble - for as long as it lasts.

@dmghss17201 - I don't blame you for being misinformed, I was once a regular reader of The Washington Post and was just as misinformed. We only know what we know based on the information we have. But use your own common sense: if you're constantly being told "let's hate Buffy" and "don't talk to her, just talk to me", doesn't that alone at least make you a little suspicious?  When you're constantly told to hate someone and don't listen to them, just hate them, doesn't some small smart part of you get at least a LITTLE curious to know of you're being manipulated?

@SOH Great post.  One would think the left would openly support audits of the election to ensure integrity and prove their assertions are correct.  However, the left has sought to interfere or even block audits.  I wonder what they are afraid of? 

@ElmerFudd79 Exactly, what are they afraid of? Worse, look at the enormous amount of money the left spent suing and blocking at all levels of government to not only shut down any and all investigations or even questions, but then also working to get lawyers disbarred or government employees fired or citizens JAILED for simply testifying to what they saw or asking questions? All with the mainstream media lying to pretend none of this is even happening - yet the court documents are plain to see online.  Makes you wonder how long this has been going on.

Just because chains of custody are broken doesn't necessarily mean fraud. But the hostile reactions to simple questions are beyond suspicious, only a fool would think otherwise.

One good point about all of this is the odd scramble to deploy "drop boxes" for ballot collection - all at the last minute, at the cost of millions in taxpayer dollars, all at the excuse that poor people can't afford a stamp.  And most drop boxes were in locations that nobody knew about, it was all so last minute.

It also had the side benefit of circumventing federal law: if a stamped ballot is fraudulent and put in a US postal mailbox, it becomes a federal offense. But placed in a "drop box" it isn't. Clever. And while US postal boxes are generally monitored, definitely secured, and all under federal protection, drop boxes are anything but, random locations, even today there are precincts that don't necessarily remember where they were, how convenient.

Only a dolt would fail to be suspicious about the whole thing. And then there are the data irregularities - not just the middle of the night "found" ballots, but add to that the manner in which the new ballot aggregated counts followed precise mathematical ratios across multiple precincts - as if someone with a spreadsheet said "Biden needs to win, just multiple by 1.3 before you print", and viola - exactly identical ratios across multiple precincts at large "found" ballots at 2 a.m.. Nature doesn't do that. Crowds don't behave that way. I don't see any other explanation. It's simple math and common sense.

It's pathetic so many people are gullible enough to believe Trump and his lies---OAN--Newsmax and most of Fox news. Q-anon. @ahwhite Sorry to tell you but "most" people do not believe OAN, etc. Lies are not opinions.  OAN/Trump believers are just marks for con artists. 

@Ludwick577

Again your opnions are just that, your opninion. Just close your eyes and think happy thoughts and maybe you wont lose your mind when the facts come to light. It is so strange people are afraid to look into things, and walk around in their own delusion that socialism is all wonderful and government management of peoples life is the utopia they dream for. 

Just ask the people in Russia if they are enjoying their government. I have lived in many countries around the world, and will tell you when the government controls everything the people lose. Strange how so much was going so well under President Trump even thought the media was trashing anything they could and nothing was proven. Just know CNN and MSNBC as well as the majority of the disinformation media will be making excuses when they are shown to be nothing than (Edited per community guidelines) for a failing political party.  

My other question is how it seems that there was in some states and counties over 100% turnout. Now In some places there was 110% of ballots cast. How is that accomplished? How did more people vote than there are registered. Some places such as nursing homes had 100% voting. really? OMG are people that stupid that hundreds of thousands of ballots turn up in the middle of the night when polls and polling counting places were closed. The system were accessed through Cellphone networks and polling numbers were adjusted from ???? How was more people voting then are registered? But some people dont want to consider or look for truth as long as some groups are running it all. Nothing is free. Some one has to pays for it and it is sure strange the politicians are exempted from the rule and laws they put on the people they are suppose to represent.

That's because the conspiracy theory that "more than 100% voted" is yet another RW fabrication.

WHEN IS THE LAST DAY THAT OAN WILL BE ON DIRECTV?

For all of you who don’t possess the intelligence to watch both (Edited per community guidelines) and (Edited per community guidelines) news sources, before you start slinging accusations of “fake news” try watching sources from both and see how events are edited to skew the viewer. It’s a bit like “buyer beware” only it’s “viewer beware” and use your brain to see what’s being done.

when a (Edited per community guidelines) news source omits very relevant information, or won’t even show it, from actual events like congressional or pentagon news briefings, or administration leader conversations or press briefings like the POTUS, VP, SECDEF, SOS, etc., that isn’t fake news, that’s skewing important information in a specific biased direction and in many cases, covering for inept leaders.

this is why OAN, Newsmax, Fox, as well as NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN etc. all have a role and it’s up to YOU, the viewer to assess what you hear and determine what you can of the “truth.”

To arbitrarily make statements like OAN, or FOX promulgate only “fake news” makes look you like an ill-informed fool. And there appears to be no shortage of them in our country these days.

Preface: I know that this is a customer forum. However, I am fairly certain that Directv/AT&T check the forums to see what their customers are having issues with.

My questions/complaints are:

1. Why are you taking channels away just because they are going from standard definition to high definition? I am still paying the same amount but losing channels. Why should I have to upgrade and pay extra just to watch the same channel?

 I already pay a lot and am on the verge of switching to another carrier even though I am a long time customer. I am sure that there are many others out there who feel the same way.

2. What is the reason for dropping OANN? There are very few (Edited per community guidelines) news channels and a plethora of (Edited per community guidelines) news channels. Keeping OANN and taking off one of the main stream channels like CNN, would help to balance it out just a bit.

If you are taking OANN off just because of it’s content, then coupled with the above, I will very likely drop Directv and go with someone else.

NOTE: I do not want input from forum moderators who just add their 2 cents. This post is directed to Directv/AT&T.

Like the original poster, I would like Directv/AT&T to know that I too will most likely change carriers if OANN is not available to watch.

There are many mainstream media channels and very few non-mainstream media channels. The (Edited per community guidelines) news channels far exceeds that of the (Edited per community guidelines) channels. Please consider keeping this channel available to your many (Edited per community guidelines) customers.

I am only one person whose business may not be a big deal, but when you consider the many customers with my same complaint, it will definitely have a big impact on your profits.

 I was already considering switching because of the price hikes and taking away several channels due to high definition status. This dropping of my main news source will likely seal my decision to switch.

PLEASE NOTE: There is no need for moderators or anyone else except an actual employee of Directv or AT&T to respond. I am simply hoping that the company watches the posts from time to time will take note.
