Take One America News off Fios

I believe in free speech and diverse views,  however tonight I have seen more than several pseudo news stories that are nothing more than conspiracy theories broadcast under an official looking banner. One America News has broadcasted a literal call to arms, telling people to go buy guns because "socialists and leftists " were coming for your rights. Then less than 30 minutes later they broadcast cultist conspiracies and encouraged outright violence.  I realize this is a reaction to the announcement of the new president elect, however it is completely irresponsible and  dangerous in these political times to broadcast these messages so freely and without fact or basis.  Outlets like One America News,  Patriot radio and others need to be pushed back to the fringes. They do the work of foreign detractors. It is not free speech just incendiary speech. 

A patriot is not a man with a gun, but instead people who defend, celebrate and promote the best of our citizens to the rest of the world. All of our citizens! 

It is completely irresponsible to continue to have internet style hate speech broadcast a medium as powerful as television.  Division, hate and violence are not patriotic values and should not be broadcast freely. That is not free speech.

Please move to take down this network. 

It is not the first time they have promoted outrageous stories but it needs to be the last.

This is a free country and Americans have the right to choose which news stations they can watch. CNN and MSNBC are no less propaganda channels than the ones you accuse, yet as a libertarian with conservative leanings you don’t see me petitioning to ban them from view. If you don’t like it, then simply switch the channel

When will you join Direct TV & remove One America News, OAN & Newsmax from your line up?  Also, when will you begin to offer the previously discussed option of having an A La Carte channel choice?

Contracts with the content providers pretty much limit the ability to offer a la carte.

They say if you want this popular channel, you have to take one or more of these smaller channels.

I have no interest in One America , Newsmax, and Fox News. However I wouldn't want to block those interested from seeing them . I wish there were a way to keep my money from going to pay for them but that is not possible . I just block them on my TV and forget about them.

Look at the inflation rate, the gas prices and the southern boarder. They are in the worst shape I have ever seen. The media , like Cnn and Msnbc were all over Trump for wanting to control the southern boarder and now things are 10x worst and no mention is made in our nightly reports. Channels like NewsMax and One America News are our only hope, if only people would listen.

Oan Newsmax are the truth. CNN MSNBC fake news. They are WOKE!! I’ll cancel Fios and stream with someone else and watch the shows of my choice. So my answer is obv a big fat NO!

Maybe its time to apply more financial pressure to Verizon.

I for one will never support them until they stop funding these FAKE news sites like OANN and NewsMax.

Thats an easy thing to do. Once Verizon HEARS our united voices they will wake up and smell the corporate coffee..

I recently learned that Verizon pays Newsmax and OAN to have them on my FIOS service. Is there a way to drop them without having to leave FIOS TV Service entirely? 

We were slowly exploring alternatives to cable service but learned that Verizon's cable service pays these right wing propaganda channels. I'd prefer not helping them. Do I have any options within Verizon or is it all or none? Thanks.

Verizon will suffer the same results as Disney if the remove OAN.  OANN is one of the only truthful media sources left in the country!!!!
