Republicans (including Tucker, Sean and Ted Cruz) are bitching at DirecTV for supposedly ‘censoring’ conservative voices. Here’s what’s really going on

 At the center of the battle: Newsmax demanded DirecTV pay a carriage fee — tens of millions of dollars, according to a person familiar with the matter — to continue carrying the channel in the satellite carrier’s lineup. DirecTV refused, saying that it did not want to pass additional costs down to subscribers for a low-rated channel that a small percentage of viewers actually watched. DirecTV also balked at paying for the same content that streams to users for free on other platforms, such as Roku.

It was a run-of-the-mill carriage dispute — a quarrel not unfamiliar in the television industry (YouTube TV, for instance, dropped MLB Network this week after a contract dispute). But the right-wing channel, led by Chris Ruddy, who is well-connected in GOP circles, has sought to leverage its political power to pressure DirecTV into paying up.

Same old shit from FOX and the Pubs. Lies, to promote their agenda of WHINING, cuz the world is picking on them, as in not voting for them…..
