Just in case anyone needed a reminder of the flaming hypocrisy of Donald Trump and his Republican flunkies, Trump himself provided an excellent one. In a tweet posted by his Twitter ban defying spokes-shill<\/a><\/strong>, Trump lashed out DirecTV and AT&T for dropping the ultra-rightist propaganda promoters, One America News Network (OAN).<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

OAN’s future is in doubt because DirecTV was the source of most of their revenue and audience. But even though AT&T (who spun off DirecTV last year, but remains the majority stockholder) bankrolled OAN’s birth<\/a><\/strong>, that relationship has become financially precarious. OAN is currently being sued by Dominion Voting Systems<\/a><\/strong> and Smartmatic software<\/a><\/strong> for propagating Trump\u2019s lies about election fraud. Separately, they are being sued by two former Georgia election workers<\/a><\/strong> who are victims of Trump\u2019s election deceptions that were prominently pushed by OAN.<\/p>\n

However, none of this is news right now. It was all reported two weeks ago on News Corpse<\/a><\/strong>. But Trump was likely triggered anew because he held another of his cult rallies in Texas on Saturday. That event was properly ignored by credible news outlets (and also Fox News) because it was just more of his paranoid and wrathful ranting<\/a><\/strong>. It was, however carried by OAN and Newsmax, two very low rated channels. Consequently, Trump is perturbed that his pitiful pontificating was passed over by the press. So he sobbed that…<\/p>\n

\u201cAT&T is closing the very popular One America News Network (OAN) because too many people are watching. They couldn\u2019t put up with that any longer. Conservatives\/Republicans should boycott Direct TV, and while you\u2019re at it, \u201cConcast\u2019s\u201d Xfinity as well. These are Radical Left Lunatics who are destroying our Nation!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
