Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that Congress should investigate AT&T-owned DirecTV over its decision to drop conservative channel Newsmax.

“I think there should be no ideological litmus test when you have these big companies that have the decision to make or break a news network, or any type of network,” DeSantis said on Jan. 31.
