Republican members of Congress are calling on DirecTV to not drop the conservative news network Newsmax from its channel lineup as the satellite provider did to One America News (OAN) last year.

Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), along with 41 Republican colleagues, said in a letter that there are reasons to believe DirecTV is “moving to de-platform Newsmax by denying it cable fees on a fair and equitable basis.”
