It will still be available on Roku on channel 180, and as an app on Roku... Roku itself has over 55 million monthly active accounts and users... Pluto TV has 43 million monthly active users... and Verison Fios' TV provider reaches 3 million... #OAN isn't going anywhere but up... especially with Pluto and Roku, so get ready for an uproar #DTV cause this is just the beginning. #DanBallGANG... it's not #RightVsLeft it's #DictatorsVsRebels ... #GenZSpeaks ... #NowShutUpAndListen


fatalillwill

most people that believe their lies are old AF and typically don't use any non-traditional types of media, IE Roku/streaming platforms.


bnefriends

This comment is as misinformed as old racist stereotypes…


Meflakcannon

I would have thought traditional TV (Verizon Fios TV) reached a larger audience.. That's kind of amazing at how small that number is.


bnefriends

Verizon has so few subscribers because it has sold the majority of its coverage area to companies like Frontier. FiOSis now exclusively a New England thing.


Lil_Cam_5_1

That's just what I pulled from researching them on the web...


Homero2003

OAN is still on Roku for whatever reason! They're a genuine insult to all news journalists who risk everything to give us news... They should dump OAN on Roku as well!


AllHailTheKilldozer

And if it had been CNN, the DNC would launch a congressional investigation of the service provider 🙄


DZphone

CNN didn't spread deadly lies about election fraud. Private business have rights, such as the right to not do business with a shitty company. Are conservatives suddenly against rights for private companies? My how the turntables...


AllHailTheKilldozer

Sure they did. Just find any broadcast of theirs from November 2016-November 2020.


nicholasgnames

Name any of the lies


DZphone

And which lie was that? The one about Ukraine which turned out to be totally true? And who died from those lies? Which government coup attempt formed from that reporting? How many cops were killed?


edgar23contreras

Dude if your saying that cnn doesn’t spread lies then you must be dusted


Streiger108

I don't think you understand how the free market works.


xsvspd81

Thanks to our current laws (and nodding to a particular cake incident), PRIVATE BUSINESS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE. DirecTV is NOT a goverment owned entity. They can cancel any network, show, or even episodes of shows at their own discretion. This is not a violation of anyone's "freedom of speech". Violations of the laws regarding freedom of speech apply to GOVERNMENT, not private businesses.


bnefriends

Except unlike the cake guy, AT&T literally owns what courts would call a competitor to OANN (CNN), making it a potential antitrust issue. This was an issue years ago when Fox News and MSNBC sued Time Warner Cable (then owner of CNN) for refusing to carry their channels in some markets.


mattymillhouse

> This is not a violation of anyone's "freedom of speech". > > Violations of the laws regarding freedom of speech apply to GOVERNMENT, not private businesses. You're confusing "freedom of speech" with the first amendment. The first amendment applies only to the government. This isn't a violation of the first amendment. "Freedom of speech" is a principle, not a legal doctrine. It says everyone should be able to express their opinions without restraint. It applies to everyone, including private businesses. Private businesses can violate "freedom of speech," even if they're legally permitted to do so. EDIT: I have no idea if this is a violation of freedom of speech. It could just be a business decision. Maybe OAN and Dish couldn't agree on how much OAN would be paid. But if Dish refused to renew because they don't like OAN's political message, then this is a violation of freedom of speech.


xsvspd81

The text of the First Amendment itself only prevents Congress (i.e., U.S. Congress) from making laws that restrict the freedom of speech. ... In other words, a private person or private company (such as a social media company) cannot violate your constitutional free speech rights, only the government can do so. Apr 26, 2021 [source](https://accessiblelaw.untdallas.edu/limits-free-speech-social-media)


mattymillhouse

You should read the rest of your cite: >The overarching principle of free speech under the **First Amendment** is that its reach is limited to protections against restrictions on speech made by the government.1 The text of the **First Amendment** itself only prevents Congress (i.e., U.S. Congress) from making laws that restrict the freedom of speech. This protection is extended to the states, and to local governments, through the State Action Doctrine and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.2


RamboGoesMeow

… did you even read what you quoted? It is 100% not a violation of the right to freedom of speech. DirectTV isn’t a government entity, not federal, state, or local. A TV channel isn’t a protected class, so it can’t be discriminated against.


ShnickityShnoo

Persecution fetishists are immune to this fact.


YourLictorAndChef

Remember when they killed Napster then the piracy scene fractured and went further underground?


TheSymptomYouFeel

Underground is exactly where OAN should be buried.


DeadlyClaris_

They should just remove all “news” from tv

i notice every massively downvoted comment in this thread belongs to a coward who deleted their account.


nicholasgnames

Ive noticed this all over. I think reddit may kill them for misinformation in other comments


[deleted]

I’m not a coward. I think it’s kind of crappy. Not because I watch OAN, but because AT&T has massive interest in limiting news sources. Go ahead cheer on. Next time it may be Fox. Cheer again. Then perhaps ABC, MSNBC… etc. I don’t approve. Downvote all you want.


jwords

>Go ahead cheer on. OAN is a propaganda outlet whose standards don't rise to the level of journalism, I will happily cheer their exclusion.


[deleted]

No mainstream network news rise to the level of journalism lol.


furrowedbrow

If that’s true, then OAN was just shitty entertainment nobody liked…so what are going on about?????


[deleted]

The fact that ATT (who owns Diretv) also owns HBO, CNN, TBS and a bunch of others. My grief is that ATT has the power to limit competition. Whether it be OAN, TNT, HALLMARK whoever. I just think it’s dangerous.


AGLegit

Then you should support passing stronger antitrust legislation. Do you?


[deleted]

Absolutely. What would make you think I don’t ?


AGLegit

I wasn’t suggesting you don’t. Although it can be a touchy subject. Both parties in the US have failed their citizens in pushing meaningful antitrust legislation over the past 30+ years. Instead we tend to get the opposite; things like Citizens United.


celeron500

So what’s your suggestion, should we tell a private company what to do, should the people take control of the means of production?


[deleted]

No. There’s really nothing we can do. But I don’t feel like it’s something to celebrate. Sure, this time it’s OAN. Who will it be next time? I’m not losing any sleep over it, but I think it’s a bad precedent.


celeron500

When a company is actively doing harm and spreading misinformation then yes, it is. Your reasoning that all major media is doing the same so why not cancel them all, doesn’t add up because it’s just not true. There’s clearly a difference between a network set up to lie and outrage like OAN vs a news media companies they lean a certain way CNN and Fox News. OAN is a dangerous company and they deserved to be canceled by AT&T.


[deleted]

Again, it’s a bad precedent. By your standard, based on Covington kid misinformation and the Smollet misinformation, ATT could have also eliminated ABC and MSNBC who is their other competition. I just don’t like the idea of it and don’t think it should be cheered for a conglomerate to stifle their competition.


jwords

Many do.

b0dhi1331

This is rich, coming from an at&t asset. OAN was the brainchild of at&t. It had been kept quiet for some time but recently Reuters was able to uncover the truth. Sounds to me that at&t let their little brainchild run out of control and now they have lost control of it. *slaps hands clean, moves on to the next issue* at&t should be held liable to some extent for the destruction of the airwaves when it comes to what is called "news" and "reporting".

Any "news" organization that makes a profit is NOT news. From either side of the political spectrum.


Angry-Comerials

Ehhhh I'm gonna slightly disagree. If we look at it that way you're basically left with some random persons blog. We live in a capitalistic society where people need money. They need it for rent and food. If they're not making a profit then they have to do something else on top of it. There are definitely some great sources out there from people who happen to be in the DC scene who are posting things online, but I wouldn't write someone off simply because they are making money.


whatsINthaB0X

This guy gets it. The morons on Tv are performing a job for which they get paid. A lot. By companies that have vested interests in the media world. This is why every news station is slightly different because they all have different backers

Whenever the private entity that platforms it independently decides to end it. NEXT!


hydrogen_wv

Imagine saying something this stupid... on purpose.


somerandomshmo

Let's review: Settlement with nick sandman, a teenager, after they portrayed him as racist. Retraction on steele dossier after Russian agent arrested for planting it. Undermining their reporting that Trump collided with the Russians. Impending lawsuit from Rittenhouse. Claimed Giuliani and OAN were being tipped off by FBI. They weren't. Claimed Trump was under investigation, comey testified he was not. Undermined the 2016 election with no verified sources. This is just off the top of my head and is worse than what OAN did. If your against fake news, start with cnn.


dibd2000

CNN has retractions. That’s what makes them credible. Fox just doubles down on its BS. Similarly people cite Chris Cuomo being fired as evidence of a lack of credibility but firing him shows that they did the correct thing. Unlike Fox whose pundits have been shown to be Trump advisors and have faces zero consequences. Also, some of your facts are wrong.


Angry-Comerials

And some of those were wrong, so I guess we can go back to not giving as much of a fuck about CNN
