Why is DirecTV censuring our channel choices?

No need to wait and see. Cancel your subscription and find another provider that has OAN and NEWSMAX. To do so call DIRECTV ( number in my greeting below) and say ‘cancel’ to the robot to be sent to the retention/loyalty department.

There are many alternative ways to keep watching NEWSMAX and OAN without Directv. I know NEWSMAX has a free app for streaming devices and phones/tablets. Additionally, countless other streaming services carry it.

Personally I would like to go back in time before the internet. The term "privacy policy" should be called "invasion policy". Here is the latest directv invasion policy:
