The right is not retreating from its fight with DirecTV

Several Republican senators unleashed on the satellite carrier Wednesday over its move to drop the right-wing channel Newsmax from its lineup, adding to mounting pressure DirecTV has faced over the matter. The senators — Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee, and Tom Cotton — wrote in a letter to the company that they are “deeply disturbed” by the decision. The senators suggested DirecTV’s move was all part of a nefarious plot to “censor” conservative viewpoints.

DirecTV refused, saying that it did not want to pass additional costs down to subscribers for a low-rated channel that a small percentage of viewers actually watched. DirecTV also balked at paying for the same content that streams to users for free on other platforms, such as Roku. It was a run-of-the-mill carriage dispute — a quarrel not unfamiliar in the television industry .
