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.
