Don’t be such lemmings. This is news put out by Move on to shut down speech. The great thing about being a “Communications” company is we facilitate communication. The other great thing about Networks is “there is a button” on your remote.
We are a company that was made great by ideas and innovations. Some work and some don’t. But what is sure to fail is the idea that some ideas should be heard and some shouldn’t. Ideas are made to be debated a and inspected. It’s the nature of science to question and analyze. If you believe in Science, if you believe in innovation, if you believe in inclusion, then the wedge being driven between Americans is appalling.

@2bcp+1dbBprQB I don't use att and I think we all know why att is losing customers.

I watch oan on pluto and the internet I just have internet at my house and I will never get anything it att. in fact I will never get any service from att. so you question makes little sense to me because I don't give att any of my hard earned money.

don't have cable because I don't want to support stations like cnn.

If OAN is so awesome, why ATT/DTV loosing so many tv subs year after year. OAN isn't news, it is tabloid trash entertainment. They tell you not to be sheep, then they want you take their non-medical advice as they were your personal physician.

I know some of you rather died than take the vaccine. Just think of it this way, what if OAN tell you to invest in ATT stock as they were your financial planner, what would you do?

cnn is garbage and they do nothing but push a narrative - brainwashing at its best.

anybody that thinks they aren't is part of the cult and being manipulated.

oan is nowhere half as bad as cnn in that respect. at least oan doesn't think I should die if I don't get the jab.

Just look at the latest cable network ratings for viewership. Only one show on CNN made it to number 27 out of 30. Absolute garbage that no one watches. Lefties can pretend all they want but the conflict is heating up and the left is going to lose violently. Can't wait. Have tickets to the front row seats. Gonna be a blast.

The fact that someone commented “At least Oan isn’t pushing a narrative” is disturbing.

If you don’t think OAN is pushing a narrative, you are in a cult and are being manipulated.

Has anyone really investigated the reason behind Aaron Slator's departure from AT&T?

In October 2013, I met with Aaron Slator and Ryan Smith of AT&T...
Mr. Slator told me that Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T Inc., both instructed him and gave him the authority to propose this “Put Agreement” to Herring on behalf of AT&T Inc.
In the following months, I corresponded via email with AT&T Inc. employees Kalpesh Patel and Michael Janovec regarding the Put Right Deal.
*A true and correct copy of an email chain among me, Mr. Patel and Mr. Janovec from December 2013 is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. *

I am deeply disturbed by this news. AT&T backed 90% of the funding to get OAN launched, yet it was not made public. OAN had a huge role in trying to destroy our democracy. Very disappointing.

“We have always sought to provide a wide variety of content and programming that would be of interest to customers, and do not dictate or control programming on channels we carry,” AT&T spokesperson Jim Greer told Reuters. “Any suggestion otherwise is wrong.”

This must've been part of the reputation campaign to win back customer hearts and minds. Way to go, more customers will leave.

And people thought this company had turn woke and go head over heels for diversity, it is all BS, just follow the money. It is the same Facebook play, peddling garbage for money, complete alignment with COBC.

Cognitive dissonance is so strong on this board.

The same execs who had the idea for OAN and being 90% of their funding, plus sending employee PAC dollars to the co-sponsors of the TX heartbeat bill… are the same ones who got up on stage at the employee ERG and said B-L-M, who are putting vaccine mandates in place that half of this board is complaining about.

Some friends tell me AT&T has gotten so woke, some said oh it’s great you guys are requiring vaccines. The company does not care about any of this. Individual consumers or businesses or employees, how anyone feels does not matter. All the execs and board cares about is MONEY.

Where are the supply chain whistleblowers who know how much money the company gives to third parties? Next time the execs shove things like culture pillars down our throat, ask why it doesn’t start from the top.

The people involved in this need to go. If it is the Board, the Board needs to go, because it goes against the basic fiduciary duty of the management, which is to advance the financial interests of the shareholders.

Last I heard, a Democratic dollar is as green as a Republican one. Alienating either camp goes against the duty of management to the shareholders.

The MyPillow guy can do it because he owns the company. AT&T is owned by the shareholders.

OAN is a good network. I tend to watch FOX more than OAN, but may start watching it more.
