OAN network
Can you tell me why this despicable propagandist organization appears on you network? It's nothing more than a Fox right wing wanna be.
Here's an example: https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1266078224058134529
This is not journalism. This is propaganda for a unpopular government.

Because a content provider bundle it into their channel package. DTV can only pick the package they believe is best for their customers.

You get a variety of news channels, a variety of perspectives. It is up to you which ones you watch. The TV providers will not censor the channel because you disagree with it's perspective on journalism. Remember there are many other viewers who would probably say the same about your chosen news outlet.
So tune to the channels you want, and ignore the ones you don't.

Viacom, Time Warner, Disney, Sony, ABC, NBC, CBS the list goes on anyone that makes and distributes programs each owns some channels so DTV and all other providers have separate contracts with them all.

Even if they wanted to drop it they can't as that breaches their contact with the content providers.

OAN is not news, nor is it entertainment, it is racist right wing propaganda, and ATT should be shamed and embarrassed for carrying this disgusting network. For those that say "people have a choice of their news source", this is a garbage and disrespectful response. OAN has no journalistic ethics and should not be able to call themselves a "news" org. I will be cancelling shortly. ATT, if you continue carrying this network, you will be on the wrong side of history, and we will not forget.

It is not up to AT&T, DirecTV, or any other TV provider to label a news network as "fictional". You watch what news sources you trust and go from there. TV providers simply rebroadcast the content as is, they do not manage the programming or add labels to them based on individual opinions.
Well then other individuals call the other new channels a collection of lies. Some believe the religion channels are promoting lies. Should AT&T label those as fiction? Understand the reality that TV providers do not control or promote what is on the channels. They provide us a variety, we as mature individuals make our own decisions from the different views available on what we believe is "fiction" or not.

AT&T is not a network so has no responsibility for the content of OAN or any other channel (news or otherwise). They are a provider, a delivery method. They do not control, own, or regulate the content.
Take it up with those reporting news that you disagree with and believe are lies. TV providers are just going to provide channels that are highly desired by many customers regardless of your individual opinion.
Free Speech doesn't forbid or censor what we are allowed to say. If someone was walking up to you and forcing it in your face is one thing, but with TV you can JUST CHANGE THE CHANNEL.

i hope you always allow for oan news to be on your channel list. If people do not want to watch it they do not have to turn it on. Everyone knows that you are not responsible for their news content. Please do not let trolls and bots keep you from offering a channel that your customers want and pay for.

OAN is pure right wing (Edited per community guidelines). This network does not deserve a single view for the blatantly false misinformation it promotes. Did you know the network has a news anchor, Kristian Brunovich Rouz who currently works for the Russian (Edited per community guidelines) outlet and news agency Sputnik AND One America News??? It should be a red flag for every single one of us in this country that we have long let the enemy right into our front doors.
When your content promotes blatantly false information that DOES get minorities killed, your "right" to "FREE SPEECH" goes out the window. The first amendment applies to GOVERNMENT censorship of content. It says nowhere in the first amendment that private entities can't moderate their own platform. Which by the way, the largely already do moderate their own content.
The only reason why AT&T, does not do anything about taking far right, racist, (Edited per community guidelines) networks down is because it is not CONVENIENT for them. The advertisers, the cable TV networks, all do have the power to stop this kind of misinformation, they just simply choose not to because it is not convenient.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.
Again, Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.
Oh, and by the way, COMCAST does not allow OAN on there network. Because people ALL they at the top of Comcast running the company have morals about (Edited per community guidelines) injustice. AT&T, be like Comcast, have morals.
And ALSO, I am glad AT&T is currently not getting any of my money and I will make sure they never do.
