Republican attorneys general in six states have sent a letter to DirecTV, urging the satellite-TV provider to reverseThe officials called DirecTV’s decision “highly troubling and disappointing,” saying in the letter Thursday that the service was bowing to pressure from “powerful left-wing voices.” It was sent by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and co-signed by his peers from Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana and South Carolina.
“My fellow attorneys general and I strongly recommend that you reconsider your present course and renew your contract with OAN in April,” they said. “Your failure to do so will not only cause you to lose millions of dollars in business, but also drive many millions of Americans to simply cancel your services outright.”
DirecTV declined to comment. The letter was addressed to Bill Morrow, chief executive officer of DirecTV, with copies to his board and directors of Dallas-based AT&T Inc. DirecTV is owned by AT&T and Fort Worth-based TPG through a joint venture.
