One month ago, DirecTV canned the fourth highest-rated news channel on cable TV, Newsmax. Censorship and “cancel culture” are growing problems in America and one that has to be addressed.
I interviewed my friend Chris Ruddy the Founder and President of Newsmax to talk about what has transpired in the last month.
“Newsmax was removed from 13 million homes on DirecTV systems on Jan. 24th,” Ruddy told me in my Strang Report podcast.
In the last year, two conservative platforms have been dumped by AT&T. Ruddy says after Nancy Pelosi sent the company a letter asking for Fox News, OAN and Newsmax to be “de-platformed,” DirecTV got rid of One American News and now Newsmax.
Prominent political figures have spoken out in support of Newsmax. One of those is Dr. Ben Carson. On the topic, he says, “The insidious nature of socialism, cloaked in a façade of compassion, makes it very dangerous to an uneducated and trusting populace. And as socialism creates dependency, it is well on its way to eliminating freedom of choice and incentives for high productivity and innovation.”
Ruddy is asking for your help. If you call 877-NEWSMAX it will connect you directly to DirecTV. Over 100,000 phone calls have gone out to the company from that number since Newsmax was canceled a month ago.

There is a grassroots movement of people who are tired of being silenced, standing up to the political institution.
“We believe that faith-based coverage is very needed in America. It’s been a staple of Newsmax since we have been a website. I’m a believing Christian,” Ruddy says.
He calls this a David verse Goliath moment in history and a crucial time for conservatives to join together.
As Christians, we need to respond. Call your congressman, I will be doing that personally. I am happy to stand with Chris Ruddy. If everyone would do their part it would make a huge impact. {eoa)
