McCarthy suggests there will be congressional hearings related to DirecTV dropping Newsmax

[T'Chenka]

My understanding was that DirecTV didn't want to end the relationship but Newsmax wanted somewhere in the ballpark of 10 to 20 million dollars (based on number of subscribers). It was a business decision based on profit. Republicans demanding this business not have the right to make it's own deals to make or lose profit flies in the face of all common Republican talking points about big government and overregulation.

Shouldn't the Republicans let the free market deal with this? If people care so much about newsmax they don't have to keep DirecTV.

Republicans are only for certain things when it suits them politically, or just pretend to be for something because it fits into nice slogan. They're as much pro free market as they're fiscally conservative and supportive of law enforcement. Unfortunately it seems still too many people are getting fooled by them.

Actual right wingers with real principles deserve so much better.
