In a shocking development in the ongoing censorship debate, two influential Democrat members of the House of Representatives have taken the first steps to challenge the continued availability of conservative channels Newsmax, OANN, and Fox News on mainstream cable, satellite, and streaming television platforms. Multichannel News reported on the story yesterday in an article titled “House Dems Pressure Distributors to Justify Carrying Fox News, Others.”
California Democrats Reps. Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney have written to a dozen cable, satellite and streaming companies calling on them to better combat disinformation

I guess they're feeling a little drunk with power, and why shouldn't they be? How long will they allow Blaze TV to continue I wonder.

Before Rush plowed the road for conservatives in regular media, I used to listen to patriots on short wave radio pirate stations. I hope they haven't got rid of the transmitters.

Another page out of the democrat playbook. Typical socialist/communist/progressive weapon to silence conservatives.
This is the beginning of the end of our freedoms as guaranteed by our Constitution. Guns will be next and then a complete overhaul of our Constitution and Supreme Court. They already have control of our courts, voting, Senate and House. I can't see any way to stop them in the future. It'll take more than prayer.

And I didn't see where I could comment on the AT article. Has American Thinker ended their comments section also??
We are all being shut down. I just hope Turley sets all those wannabe censors on their ears.

I think they are behind the news cycle if they are still targeting Fox.
They should just leave them alone and do the old frog in the boiling water thing.
Let them continue to appear conservative, while they pump out the 4am propaganda with all the others.

They are in a hurry to push through all of their Hairbrained ideas before the American People turn on them. They will lose big time in 2022 and they know it. Once Republicans take back the House and win a few more Seats in the Senate, Biden will basically be out of control. Democrats know that, so every week we will probably see a new Idiotic Bill thrown out there to take away one more of our Rights. All we can do is fight them in courts until the next election.

#10 Republicans won't win in 2022 because the Democrats control the vote.

Yes, American Thinker has ended comments. I find that I read fewer articles now. It's too frustrating when I feel particularly "sparked". Also, I learned some things from the comments. I guess it's submit or die.

We have a lot of work to do in the months ahead. It's time to make lemonade. We don't need whiners, and squishes. What we need is solid leadership at the state and local level. It all begins at your neighborhood precinct and the local churches in your area are a good place as well. Get involved. Pay attention. The Marxists Dems have a game plan. Where is ours? CPAC will be interesting this week.
We are not going to lose this fight. We just have to fight and take no prisoners. There's strength in numbers and we have that.
Radio is and always has been our best form of broadcasting. Start listening to it more. The internet is changing everyday. More and more sites a popping up for conservatives. We do have alternatives to FOX, Oan and NewsMax are free online. Necessity is the mother of invention. We will innovate and invent what we need. Remember we are the entrepreneurs and small business working class of this country.
Young parents should think about home schooling or find a church that has a school. If they don't propose to start one. This is the real world we are living in and we have to do things differently now. We will win this but we have to shuffle our feet. Let's roll!

It does seem a little hopeless at times... but... folks... I remember when Rush was confronted with this censor problem for talk radio... he dug down and won... and lived many years telling US the truth...so don't give up...where would I be today if America and England had given up?... my grandchildren would be goose/stepping in Berlin...God never closes a door... he doesn't open a window...wait for it!!

Congress shall make no law....abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;
This amendment language is intended to ensure the the people have the right to criticize the monarch. Democrats fear the truth, and the people, and want us shut up. The Founding Fathers knew why this right is vital to a free society.

Fox News is one of the Others. When they called Arizona, that was it for me. Didn’t think I could go cold turkey, but it was possible. Got OAN at KloudTV for $50 a year and now enjoy daily a lovely girl called Kara at 6 pm western. Also subscribed to the Epoch Times, great articles and interview videos (on American Thought Leaders section).
Thank God for Lucianne, where we still have freedom to speak about the Biden election fraud. Time for another donation.

Not too long ago I had respect for American Thinker's articles.
But the last few months, I have been noticing a lot of conceptual errors....
For Instance: Calling Fox News a conservative TV channel .
Although I have been thinking lately that our Democrat Rulers know darn well that Fox News is really on their side, and they are just pretending to hate it to convince the less discerning conservatives to watch it, so that they can get mostly Democrat Propaganda from a source that they believe is on their side.

Without question, Reps. Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney have violated their oaths of office (to support and defend the US Constitution), and should be immediately impeached. In addition, they are the ones guilty of spreading lies and disinformation.

SCOTUS: No standing; laches; please don't let anyone burn our cars in our parking lot
HOUSE: Pelosi leaves in a huff, takes scissors with her, kicks paper on floor
SENATE: Schumer screams names at no one in particular (like those funny old guys you see on Manhattan streets sometimes.
MSM PRINT: Not my cable
CABLE: Not broadcast
BROADCASTERS: Not print
DNC: All lies
RNC: Let's cross the aisle
CNN: Republicans threatening violence
ACLU: Too white

American Thinker supports comments, just in a different location now. I'm sure it has to do with protecting their derrieres legally. At the bottom of the page is this message: If you would like to comment on this or any other American Thinker article or post, we invite you to visit the American Thinker Forum at MeWe. There, you can converse with other American Thinker readers and comment freely (subject to MeWe's terms of use). The Forum will be fully populated and ready for comments by midday (Eastern time) each day.

I don't know. The Supreme Court passing on the Pa. election fraud is one thing, but this strikes right at the heart of the first amendment, and I don't think they can pass on this without bringing on a backlash they wanted to avoid with the election fraud cases.

Here are some examples I wrote down this morning: Jen Psaki threatens months and months of sacrifice and suffering; Equality Act expected to advance in Congress. It treats people of faith as second class citizens; Democrats take first steps to censor conservative TV channels OANN, Newsmax and Fox News; Masks today, masks tomorrow, masks forever; Biden HHS pick advocates sex changes for kids.

If they really wish to combat misinformation, they would get rid of ABC, NBC, CBS, the NYT, the Post, and all the rest of the leftist propaganda, Ministry of Truth, Fake News outlets.
