DirecTV is also dropping Herring\u2019s other channel, AWE, a lifestyle channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe informed Herring Networks that, following a routine internal review, we do not plan to enter into a new contract when our current agreement expires,\u201d DirecTV said in a statement to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-01-14\/directv-to-drop-one-america-news-in-blow-to-conservative-channel\">Bloomberg<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>DirecTV\u2019s decision to cut OANN comes as Democratic lawmakers have ramped up pressure on cable television providers to cut down on \u201cmisinformation\u201d being spread over their airwaves. Last month, President Joe Biden scolded cable companies and social media platforms for hosting \u201cpurveyors of lies and misinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a December 21 address from the White House, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/stop-it-now-biden-scolds-cable-tv-and-social-media-purveyors-of-lies-on-vaccines\">attacked<\/a> the companies and claimed they were contributing to vaccine misinformation and endangering lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, for folks who are not vaccinated, you may think you\u2019re putting only yourself at risk, but it\u2019s your choice. Your choice is not just a choice about you. It affects other people. You are putting other people at risk. Your loved ones, your friends, neighbors, strangers you run into. And your choice can be the difference between life or death,\u201d Biden claimed. \u201cThe longer the virus is around, the more likely variants form, and they may be deadlier than the ones that have come before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me say again and again and again, please, get vaccinated. It is the only responsible thing to do. Those who are not vaccinated are causing hospitals to overrun, to become overrun again,\u201d he continued. He went on to credit former President Donald Trump for overseeing the creation of several vaccines against COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to the prior administration and our scientific community, America was one of the first countries to get the vaccine. Thanks to my administration and the hard work of Americans, we led a roll-out and made America among the world leaders in getting shots in arms,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>The president then called on cable and social media companies to crack down on \u201cdangerous misinformation\u201d being spread on their platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, the unvaccinated are responsible for their own choices, but those choices have been fueled by dangerous misinformation on cable TV and social media. You know, these companies and personalities are making money by peddling lies and allowing this information that can kill their own customers and their own supporters. It\u2019s wrong. It\u2019s a immoral. I call on the purveyors of these lies and misinformation to stop it. Stop it now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
