Donald Trump Is Seeing Red Over This Cancellation – The List

Donald Trump made it clear how he felt about the media during his time in the White House. He capitalized the term "fake news" and often used it to describe anyone who disagreed with him (via CNN). "It is amazing what's happening to the discredited media like CNN, MSDNC, New York Times, and Washington Post," Trump said in an August 2021 statement. "Their businesses have dropped off a cliff, which is actually a very good thing for the American people, because they are Fake News (likewise the networks, ABC, NBC, CBS)."

There are a few networks he didn't consider to be fake news, though, and one of them was the conservative-leaning One America News (OAN). According toThe Independent, Trump released a statement shared through his son's Twitter account that called for protests against Time Warner Cable and DirecTV, who both chose to drop the network from its services.

"Between heavily indebted Time Warner, and Radical Left Comcast, which runs Xfinity, there is a virtual monopoly on news, thereby making what you hear from the LameStream Media largely FAKE, hence the name FAKE NEWS," Trump's statement read. "It is a very popular channel, far more popular than most would understand, and they are being treated horribly by the Radical Left lunatics running the networks."

His statement concluded with him saying, "Instead of being allowed to grow, their voice is being shuttered. Don't let it happen, cancel DirecTV. If you feel infringed by what this Communist movement is doing, cancel DirecTV!"
