We need a congressional hearing as to why the Hallmark Channel refuses to show The Texas Chainsaw Massacre! It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

[NoOneIsHome]

He knows how to balance a budget right into his bank account.

[hollib]

So... a bakery can CHOOSE not to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, but DirecTV can't CHOOSE to not carry NewsCrap? Such hypocrites.

[svnbkyt]

soooo... no longer the law and order party... have they now given up free market capitalism, as well?

[seanyoung]

I demand an investigation into the cancellation of every Netflix series that didn't get a second season! Surely those were more popular and more relevant than anything on NewsMax.

[annaschofield]

I demand a hearing on why directtv doesn’t carry the David pakman show in place of the other major network news!

Dems suggest Congress do something about gas prices: GOP unanimously votes no

TV provider drops unpopular channel: GOP thinks Congress should do something about it

[MikeHart]

Why do they owe an explanation to anyone ?

[TheMaghorn]

Nobody watches Newsmax, but the reason they were dropped was because their carriage agreement expired and they wanted to set up a new contract where DirecTV would pay Newsmax to rebroadcast their shows. I also love how she opened the interview with Rick Scott praising him for his budget management after he lost 90% of the Republican midterm campaign funds, not to mention his many failures as Florida's governor.

Remember when the republicans all told us that if business was just left alone it will self regulate. Unless business does something republicans don't like, then they want total control of every little thing.

[OuterGalaxyLounge]

When all a party has to offer is propaganda, the loss of a propaganda outlet somehow becomes a government issue.

[Rahmi]

As a Floridian, once again, sitting here mortified by the clowns that are “running” this state.

[hugegnarlyeyeball]

So are republicans saying that the fairness doctrine be reinstated? Should we require Fox News to cover both sides on every issue?

[tehBrymann]

Small government means government getting involved in small issues, petty stuff

[krishannam]

Since when does the Federal government get to dictate to a private company how they run their business? Oh...since Trump. "Dictate" is the key word here.

[urinluk]

God these next 2 years are going to be so unbearable!!!!

[ronnyskaar]

No problem for them to get to the bottom of things. They are allready there.

[cmiller]

How is it possible that no one (or almost no one) has directly called them out on this repeated falsehood? It's a direct question that needs to be answered.

[Ifoughtpiranhas]

The NFL decided to move the Sunday Ticket package from DirecTV to YouTube, I demand a big government investigation!

And are we still supposed to be angry about M&M's, or have we shifted our manufactured outrage to something else already?

[jillmontgomery]

thank you for your work. It always calms me down so that I feel some hope given all the bad news. I look forward the hearing from you!
