Newsmax should do the patriotic thing and give away their content for free instead of haggling with the cable companies.

They do. This was one of the points DirectTV made. They felt Newsmax was asking for too much money for content they gave away online.

My point is that everyone's in business to make money. Trying to make this into some sort of political issue is disingenuous. If newmax is actually on some kind of patriotic mission they would not be after the money so hard that negotiations broke down.

Meaning radical libs with their hair on fire would storm Direct TV HQs if Newsmax was being shown?

Could be I suppose

In the great worker's paradise to come, news agencies won't have bills ... they will all be supported by The State.

Very good.

DirecTV doesn’t want to be responsible for propagating rightwing misinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies.

Wrong.

Conservative ‘news’ is nothing but misinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies.

And it’s perfectly appropriate for content providers to refuse to be a part of the rightwing war on facts and the truth.
