Energy and Commerce Committee members Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerny are demanding TV providers drop Fox News, One America News and Newsmax
The California representatives claim the right-wing media networks served as 'misinformation rumor mills and conspiracy theory hotbeds'
The letter asking if they plan to continue airing these three networks was sent to a dozen different cable, satellite and streaming companies on Monday
Recipients of the letter include Google parent company Alphabet, AT&T, Verizon, Roku, Hulu, Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Charter Communications, DISH and Altice
Representatives Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerny, both of whom represent California and sit on the Energy and Commerce Committee, claim it's the responsibility of these companies to address media outlets 'disseminating misinformation to millions' through their airwaves.

This is sickening.Should they succeed they will have 100% control of all media and any internet related forms of communication.No opposing view points will ever reach the masses again.It will be all liberal all the time.

They really can't handle an opposing point of view. One platform after another gets canceled and information  found on internet searches is starting to look a little "suspect" on content and scope. Maybe my imagination but I have a hard time finding info. to support alternative views on things.

Remember the internet freedom issues and DJTs FCC commissioner who was going to bring about the end of the world? That guy was solid and had reversed some dumbassery that FBOs guy had done. I assume that guy was not retained and is long gone?

They're nothing but fucking whiny little bitches who will stop at nothing to turn us into a third world country if they're allowed to continue their destruction of our country. The spineless pussy Re-pube-licans will most certainly "reach across the aisle" as those pussies always do, and help the Dems kill everything good about what he had before the election was stolen from us.

FUCK THE DEMS>FUCK THE REPUBLICAN PUSSIES>and FUCK THAT BRAIN DEAD PEDO FUCKTARD BIDEN

The letter "asks if they plan to continue" broadcasting these networks. Not "demands". Simply a question, harmless, right? Just asking, don't shoot the messenger. Don't read anything into it. /sarc

Passive-aggressive and plausibly deniable. Cancel culture twittards use the same style messaging.

Do they really think censoring things they don't like will make dissent disappear?  If anything it is going to start radicalizing people.

I’d like to see a copy of that letter.  What are they asking for specifically and do they list specific examples of what they think is harmful?

Lol.

First they came for D**** S******, and I said f*** A***** A*****, he's a N***.

Then they came for Infowars, and I said f***, Alex Jones, he's a whack job.

Now they are coming for the outlets I like, and I guess I'll just have more time to watch my wife's son while Tyrone visits.

Better be careful what they wish for. That could force them to spin off their own service and cause shitty ass Democrat companies like Comcast to lose a shitload of customers

This letter is a direct violation of their oath of office.

They think they control the tech lords. Perhaps it is a shared error in development that causes inadequate perception of reality.

They're still playing the long game.

Sure, there might be a few million people that get pissed off, and a few hundred thousand of those will send a nasty email, and maybe a few thousand others will write a nasty letter, but after a while, you'll just be sitting around the campfire some day with your bids and one of you will ask, "Hey, you remember that old TV network with the hot chick that was always asking Trump the really good questions, and wasn't being a total cunt?  What was here name?  One America something was the network.  Remember her?  What ever happened to her when they shut her network down?"  

Eventually, the only "trusted" network will be the one called "Truth," or somesuch, and the CNNs and Foxes, and MSNBCs will get all their information from the "Truth" network, because why wouldn't they?  It says right in the name, "Pravda"  "Truth."
