We'll start with this video from Farron Cousins:
As of this morning, Newsmax's contract with DirecTV had expired, and, as Farron notes, the network has an active YouTube channel. Locally, the network is a premium service on Spectrum Cable, and were given special dispensation by DirecTV when they launched 9 years ago.
So why are 40+ GOPers making threats? Because it bothers them that in the space of a few months, Fox No News' two biggest competitors would be removed from the satellite service, with One America News having been bounced some time back. These peabrains forget that Fox No News & Fox Business are two separate channels leaning in the same direction. They think "sister networks" count as one entity, it seems.
We've established that in this era, the Republicans may have secretly replaced their elephant mascot with----wait for it---a gopher, and that their holy trinity consists of Pinocchio, Pecos Bill, and Joe Isuzu since the Trump administration, though Joe was a product of the Reagan era of television.
The behavior of these GOPers in the House of Representatives reminds one of this couple from Saturday Night Live back in the day. The Whiners (Robin Duke & Joe Piscopo):
Today, Piscopo is a right wing gasbag working as a morning drive radio host in his native New Jersey. He and alter-ego Doug Whiner fit right in. Seems to me that Newsmax's demands for money from DirecTV sound like extortion. Gee, you don't suppose another world famous whiner convinced them to try this tack?
