There is one significant act that all consumers can take right now in order to save the USA from complete destruction by the hard-right extremists and trumpists: BOYCOTT AT&T
Why? Reuters has told us, this date of October 6th, 2021 in this article. In a nutshell, AT&T has been the largest source of funding and support for One America News, the alt-right disinformation channel that has based nearly all of its reporting on lies, distortions and content almost completely devoid of facts and removed from reality.
The Reuters article goes into great detail of the links between the telecommunications giant and OAN. It states:
"A Reuters review of court records shows the role AT&T played in creating and funding OAN, a network that continues to spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic."
One America News should be a fringe network. In times past, a "news" outlet like this wouldn't have any viewers. Its reporting often seems like satire, something like The Onion. But, OAN viewers -- who are almost completely trump voters -- take it seriously. Therein lies the danger.
If you are a customer of AT&T or any of its affiliates, holdings or affiliates, then you have indirectly helped to subsidize One America News. It's not your fault! You didn't know. But, now you do! It's time to dump DirecTV (owned by AT&T) and all AT&T businesses. Your country needs you to do this RIGHT NOW! Please heed the call. Below are links to suggested competitors to AT&T and DirecTV, so that you can switch quickly. In order to save money, you should consider reducing your bills for a moment and only subscribe to what you need. The important thing is to make sure that you stop giving money to AT&T so that One America News also feels the pain of your lost dollars.
This is the 2nd news story to be broken this week about a large media company intentionally steering Americans to content that promotes hatred and disinformation (the first was Facebook). In this case, AT&T is a historic company which should have the institutional maturity to know better. It's up to you, the consumer, to show them that they have done wrong. Deny them your business!
