Can We Force AT&T to Disseminate Treasonous Lies?
I’m not entirely sure what to make of this.
Is Alan Dershowitz saying that AT&T, a private company, doesn’t have the right to choose what programming to offer its customers? That seems an odd position for anyone to take, let alone an attorney.
Of course, what’s really at stake here is legitimacy (or lack thereof) of Newsmax as a trustworthy source of information. I’m not privy to the discussions that take place in the AT&T board room, but it’s pretty clear that its participants decided that they didn’t want to be a party to sedition and treason.
A voice of reason must have said, “Look, Donald Trump obviously committed numerous felonies, including an attempt to overthrow the U.S. federal government. We can either continue to disseminate what we know goddamn well to be lies, or we can cut ties here, and put this behind us right f***ing now.” (Pounds table.)
