Daines Slams DirecTV For Removing Conservative Outlet

U.S. Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., has sent a letter to DirecTV CEO Bill Morrow raising concerns about the company’s decision to remove conservative network One America News Network (OAN) from their platform.

“There has not been sufficient justification from DirecTV as to why OAN’s contract was not renewed by your company. A vague ‘routine internal review’ and the lack of transparency with the viewers of OAN in Montana in your decision making process is unacceptable and has the appearance of targeting supporters of former President Donald Trump,” Daines wrote. “In many parts of Montana, satellite television and DirecTV is the only option for live television. It is important to have a range of media outlets in today’s political atmosphere and by removing conservative content such as OAN on your platform; you are hindering Montanans ability to view their preferred outlet.”
