    ^^ Folks rarely see, or find, what they don't look for.

    Truism.

    But,

    There are known problems with internet searches. Beyond the steering and censorship of a company like Google, which I don't use, one too often has to sift too much for the nugget that you know is out there somewhere. Personally, I often have to give up because after such a heavy investment in time and energy, I still can't find what I'm looking for.

    Sorry Tip but when you toss in the current involvement of the Nazi party as any part of your serious discussion your credibility falls below -0-. I do not ask for or expect any kindness from anyone invoking them.
    But on a lighter note, poisoning kids, enslaving them, killing all of us, depopulating the world, the new world order, the nefarious acts of the Illuminati, the Templars, the Masons, is always great conversation starter for your serious discussion.

    The Truth Is Out There.

    One of the most popular techniques of proggies is to label things as "conspiracy theories" from nut jobs like Alex Jones.

    Problem is that way too many "conspiracy theories" have turned out to be true.

    There are statements of fact, and there are opinions.

    This is a DISCUSSION board. I really wish some members would stop trying to stifle others.

    True, it is a discussion board. Yet, if/when a member spews their opinion as an absolute fact - a bit of stifling may be the last to show up...laughter and challenge being among the first. And rightly so, imo.

    Challenge the FACTS, not the PERSON!!!

    Way too many make their arguments personal. Ad hominem usually produces lousy discussions, imo, and lots of fighting.

    Everyone has a right to give their opinion and like butt holes, everyone has one and most of the stink.

    I've read all of these comments and a lot of people quoted other people and web sites and are using what they read as facts instead of the other person opinion and web sites as truth and factual. Some of you must my SIL because she says that if its on the internet, it has to be true because your not allowed to say anything unless it's the truth.

    I don't believe very much of what I hear but all of what I experience.

    You probably should have dug a little deeper. Your media source is wrong.


    This was discussed on a conference call w/ John Stankey ~ 2 years ago. (I assume you know who he is.)
    There are specific, listed business criteria in order to be carried. (None are “did you donate to FJB IN 2020”, ”who do you donate to” or political as such.)

    Literally hundreds to thousands of news and “other content” (some pretty bizarre ) sources didn’t make the criteria cut. Every year. Not just OAN and Newsmax. The specific criteria is focused on audience and other (non-political) factors. And the ability to help the bottom line, brand value, partners, adjacent verticals and customer satisfaction (and not preservation of capital).
    If you look hard enough you can find that criteria. Ask your media sources. They *SHOULD* know.
    <>

    Do you mean this ‘’John Stankey’’ :

    https://meaww.com/john-stankey-slam...white-privilege-and-recognize-systemic-racism ?

    It is obvious to me that you won’t or can’t realize that many of us REAL Americans are supremely pissed-off at most “media” and at the management of a number of large corporations

    I, for one, do not want to support anyone or anything who pushes liberlism. wokism, communism, etc.

    For me, and for many, calling for a boycott is a very logical first step.

    You don’t have to agree.

    That's true enough in a lot of forums, for sure.
    I've found that the guys here have a bit more starch.

    For example, in the post above, leVieux implies that TXAZ isn't a REAL American, or capable of understanding others sentiments. Now... I seriously doubt any challenge to duel will be forthcoming, which is unfortunate, as it would be interesting to watch... unless, of course, it offends one's tender feelings.:roflfunny:

    It doesn’t take much “business expertise” to appreciate that the CEO of the parent company, which still controls some 70% of the “DirecTV Streaming” spinoff stock, likely had significant influence on the most controversial decision either company has made in years.

    BTW, that decision cost them over 7 million customers within a few days of it becoming effective.

    Does anyone think that the parent company SHAREHOLDERS really wanted to loose 7MM customers ?

    While any decision to call for a boycott does invove some “feelings”, the underlying rationale is very solid.

    Wow leVieu,

    Resorting to personal and ad hominem attacks?That’s real classy. Am I supposed to be shaking? Is that what makes you a “Real American“?

    (I grew up with an older sibling who was much better at withering verbal attacks than what’s posted above, so you‘ll need to step up your game to get to the bush league level.)

    And that highly respected meanww.com news source you quoted? Was that possibly found on the 37th page of a bing search? That article certainly carries as much weight as a Don Lemon opinion of FJB. I wonder when that article will appear on Fox, NewsMax or OANN?

    The bottom line is DirecTV is no longer part of AT&T. You don’t have to believe that, (but your
    AT&T login no longer works with DirecTV.) Astute investors recognize that owning stock does not make you part of that company, only a shareholder. Substantial legal difference.

    Finally can you not accept a corporation might actually have a written process with specific, objective criteria for using their platform, and you favorite channel doesn’t meet that criteria?Why don’t you call them up and ask for it?

    You don’t have to accept any of the above, or that the earth is round or gravity is real.

    Anxiously awaiting you next entertaining post.

    ^^Someone needs a dictionary.^^
    <>

    So, when called on a specific accusation, that is your response ?

    You seem to be dedicated to believe the lies of our enemies.

    Sir, I have 5 years post-Doctorate formal education and taught in four Universities, 3 in Texas; after a successful career.

    My words are chosen with care.

    I am through with you, as you cannot maintain an argument on-point.

    Now, to our readers here:

    We live in a time of great uncertainty, fueled by the milieu of clever lies surrounding us. Our enemies are increasingly of the “domestic” kind, and are dedicated to false gods, but are not stupid. Indeed, they are quite clever and persistent.

    So, those of us who have decided to FIGHT BACK in attempt to save our Culture, our Republic, & our Grandchildren’s futures, WILL ATTACK all apparent enemies. We cannot afford the luxuries of waiting for “proof” from those who deceive us, nor can we unilaterally avoid all “collateral damages”.

    This is a WAR, albeit of a new and strange kind, employing all sorts of modern techno-tricks and deceptions.

    Our present aim is to UNITE and go on the offense, lest we too perish under the multifacted onslaughts of the democrat/communist/globalist/media Cabal.

    In WWII parlance, “If it quacks and walks like a duck. . . . . . “, KILL it !

    Recall that they control most of our communications, large cities, and children’s mis-“educations”. Time is not on our side.

    May our GOD save us all, including “TXAZ”. “None is so blind as he who won’t see!”

    Interesting. You don’t answer the previous questions posed but again fall back to the Stalinist tactic of emo political diatribe.
    What’s next?
    <>

    Sir, you made a specific accusation, which you cannot, or will not, back-up.

    You were called on it; your response was feeble & not an answer.

    Our readers can see and decide.

    I ask only that they read the entire exchange before deciding.

    Adios,
