AT&T's recent deplatforming of Newsmax, one of America's most
influential cable news channels, should alarm everyone, including
liberals. We are all at risk when censorship occurs - when one is
silenced based on his or her point of view.
The facts strongly suggest that partisan and ideological motives
played a sizable role in AT&T and DirecTV's decision to remove
Newsmax on January 24, when some 13 million homes were deprived of
the channel=97including my own. After the recent State of the Union
address, I turned to Newsmax for their coverage, but was surprised
to find it suddenly missing from my channel guide.

To those who lost Newsmax, you can get Newsmax for free using a
Roku. They have a channel app you can install and watch it to your
heart's content.
For OANN, you can watch it on your Roku using a service called
'KlowdTV'.
The cost of the service is very minute. I signed up at a time
when I got it for two dollars and fifty cents.
KlowdTV includes a number of other news and related channels as well.
If there is ever a reason to become a 'cord cutter', this could
be it.
I dropped my cable TV a long time ago. I have been using my Roku
to watch programming for years.

Fred
