Dropped Newsmax channel

Twice since I've been with DTV AT&T has the att, dtv network dropped the 4 largest conservative news service: Newsmax. 30M viewers are (Edited per community guidelines) at dtv. I am as your customer. There is political bias here. There are smaller liberal channels still running but not Newsmax.  Why? No (Edited per community guidelines) saints a contract dispute 

 Att is liberal biased. I may consider canceling my dtv service.

DTV and Newsmax failed to reach an agreement so newsmax removed their feed.

How do you spell censorship?  For me, its is ATT and Direct TV.  Stopping payments to NEWSMAX, the #4 cable network; while allowing 20 other liberal networks to remain, then calling it a cost cutting measure; is just wrong.  Peace, Love Tell the Truth!

Newsmax is free using their streaming app. Same live content as the streaming services.

Cancelling Newsmax is a deal breaker for us. It was the only reason we kept Direct Tv. We are cancelling if Newsmax isn’t back in the next few days. We’ve had enough. I’m annoyed with how expensive direct TV is. Direct Tv isn’t worth a “a single penny”

Again, just use the app and continue to view the same content.

If Newsmax is your dealbreaker channel, then certainly if they don't return to DirecTV then call and cancel.

However, two sides not reaching a new agreement with channel negotiations is not political bias. If that were an issue, then there wouldn't have been those talks in the first place. With negotiating, they were trying to come to a mutual agreement. Will have to see if they are going to continue carriage talks or are fully parting ways. Hopefully it will not be too long to get a clear answer (from both DirecTV and Newsmax).
