DirecTV is dropping far-right cable channel One America News. OAN, a favorite of Donald Trump, has been criticized for spreading misinformation about COVID-19, the 2020 presidential election and the deadly Jan.6 attack on the US Capitol. Streaming and satellite network DirecTV didn’t give a reason for the move, saying in a statement Saturday that „following a routine internal review, we do not plan to enter into a new contract when our current agreement expires.“ The contract between One America News owner Herring Networks and DirecTV, one of OAN’s biggest TV distributors, is set to end later this year, The New York Times noted.
