I was not aware cable news/ entertainment was a protected class.

The super majority of adults don’t watch any cable news.

As of last April, I am one of them.

No, they didn’t.

You didn’t read your own link very carefully.

The criticism of OAN in that article is from an advocacy group, not from DirecTV.

Private company and free market and all. I find OAN to be really vile but will miss their 'Fine Living' or whatever it's called sibling channel that aired a lot of quirky travel shows that I assume is going as well. Guess I've gotta get my 'Distant Shores' fix while I can.

One America is a vile station. I didn’t care about the particular subject being reported - the hatred that came from those lips were disgusting. I couldn’t listen to it. Even Fox commentators are like mild hot sauce compared to these folks chili pepper.

So being Russian is bad?

Bill Clinton changed the outcome of an election in Russia and his administration bragged about it, because it was a good drunk Russian.

Hillary's Russian reset button.

Psaki posing in Russia with Soviet gear on because they only killed tens of millions in the modern era.

Obama chastising Romney for saying Russia is a geopolitical adversary.

Obama promising Putin more flexibility after the election.

Hillary's campaign paying a Russian agent with connections to Putin to lie about Trump to influence an election was good collusion with foreign agents.

Sometimes they slip up and don’t edit the raw propaganda.

This led to situations like that bald dude (Pearson Sharp), advocating for the execution of fellow Americans.

That doesn't make any sense. Brush up on your English when you have a chance.
