Earlier this week The Gateway Pundit reported that DirecTV was planning on canceling Newsmax TV in a partisan assault on free speech.

This was after DirecTV canceled OAN Network last year.

At the same time, ATT’s DirecTV pays the license fee for 22 liberal news and information channels in their lineup.

On Tuesday DirecTV followed through on their threat and banned NewsmaxTV.

This is a red flag First Amendment violation.

Newsmax reported:

At midnight Tuesday, AT&T’s DirecTV cut Newsmax’s signal, immediately shutting the network off from more than 13 million customers of the satellite service, DirecTV Stream, and U-Verse.

This is the second time in the past year AT&T has moved to cancel a conservative channel, with DirecTV deplatforming OAN in April.

Despite Newsmax being the 4th highest-rated cable news channel in the nation, a top 20 cable news channel overall, and watched by 25 million Americans on cable alone, according to Nielsen, DirecTV said it was taking the step as a “cost-cutting” measure and would never pay Newsmax a cable license fee.

DirecTV pays cable license fees to all top 75 cable channels and to all 22 liberal news and information channels it carries. Almost all of these channels are paid hefty license fees significantly more than Newsmax was seeking — and despite the fact that most of the channels have much lower ratings than Newsmax.

“This is a blatant act of political discrimination and censorship against Newsmax,” Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax said.

“The most extreme liberal channels, even with tiny ratings, get fees from AT&T’s DirecTV, but Newsmax and OAN need to be deplatformed,” Ruddy added.

Last week, as news spread in Congress that AT&T DirecTV was moving to deplatform Newsmax, 41 Republican congressmen led by Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, sent a letter to the CEOs of AT&T, DirecTV, and hedge fund TPG Capital, the minority operator of the satellite system, warning of hearings.

Years ago, you would have to visit a far left college campus to hear people talking about needing a safe space, but these snowflakes have grown up and now they’re in the workforce.

Google recently laid off about 12,000 employees and the workers who still have their jobs are demanding ‘psychological safety’ from their bosses. Seriously.

From the New York Post:

Google workers demand ‘psychological safety’ from bosses after mass layoffs

Google employees who survived the company’s recent purge of 12,000 of their now-former colleagues grilled executives during a tense all-hands meeting on Monday — anxiously demanding assurances that their jobs aren’t next on the chopping block.

One Google employee based in the UK told management that “psychological safety is paramount” after parent company Alphabet Inc. shed around 6% of its full-time workforce.

The employee was outraged that among those let go by Google were high performers and people on immigration visas.

“How are we supposed to ever feel safe again?” the employee wondered. His comments were reported by Insider.

Did the Keystone XL Pipeline workers who Biden laid off on the first day of his presidency get any psychological safety?

This is beyond parody.

Other industries experience layoffs all the time.

They should try the commercial construction trades. The job ends and mass layoffs are the norm. Welcome to the party.

According to one reporter, the laid off Google employees got a sweet deal.

Don’t worry too much about the people being laid off from Google. Here’s the severance they’ll get:

– 16 weeks of base pay
– 2 additional weeks of pay for every year they were at Google
– 16 weeks of accelerated share vesting
– 6 months of healthcare
