After DirecTV dropped far-right channel One America News, Dan Ball –one of the fact-free network’s hosts– urged his viewers to dig up “dirt” on the chairman of AT&T: “Whatever it may be. Find it for me. Bring it, and we will air it.”

that AT&T not only played an integral role in launching OAN in 2013 but had essentially kept the channel afloat via its contract with DirecTV. “Ninety percent of OAN’s revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV, according to 2020 sworn testimony by an OAN accountant,” Reuters noted in its story.

Though the network also runs on smaller providers like Verizon’s FiOS and KlowdTV, DirecTV is by far the biggest source of OAN’s viewership., and after saying earlier in the show that OAN “is now at war with AT&T,” Ball told viewers that he was going to “remind them every single day” until DirecTV pulls the plug in April that “we need your help.

Besides begging OAN viewers to “blow up” AT&T’s phone lines with demands that they keep his channel, Ball also called on them to send them any salacious information about the conglomerate’s chairman.Real America“You bring me concrete evidence of whatever it may be: cheating on his taxes, cheating on his wife, saying racial slurs against white people,” Ball added, unsubtly referencing the fact that Kennard is Black. “Whatever it may be. Find it for me. Bring it, and we will air it.

He wrapped his plea by saying “everybody’s got dirty little sins and secrets they're hiding” and that Kennard “deserves to have his exposed” over DirecTV deciding to cut ties with One America News. “Don’t let them do this to you, folks, by taking OAN off the air. We need your help,” Ball concluded., along with the following caption: “Tell the chairman of the board at AT&T that he go to hell for trying for cancel #oann We must #boycott everything #att. Don’t let them censor conservative voices. We didn’t start this war with the woke mob and radical liberals, but by the grace of god we will finish it and win!”in the aftermath of DirecTV’s decision.
