Before One America News Network host Dan Ball finished an interview with guest Jim Jordan this past week, he asked the Ohio Republican congressman for a favor.
"Please put some pressure on AT&T and DirecTV for us," said Ball, whose nightly program "Real America" airs nightly on the right-wing cable channel. "OAN would love to continue broadcasting on that platform and we know for a fact it is all political behind the scenes on why they're doing that to us."
Earlier in the week, Ball solicited viewers to send him "dirt" on William Kannard, chairman of of the board for DirecTV parent AT&T, including any evidence of marital infidelity. OAN's 80-year-old founder, tech entrepreneur Robert Herring, also went on camera to plea with viewers to ask other cable and satellite providers in their areas to add the channel to their lineups.
