“There's gonna be a committee that's gonna hold hearings. We're sitting, we're gonna meet later today and try to discuss which committee's gonna do what. That's certainly on the agenda. I'm very concerned by this,' House Oversight Chair James Comer said.
During a Newsmax appearance on Friday morning, House Oversight Chair James Comer pledged a commitment to the network that his committee would look into DirecTV removing the network from its service.
“Congress didn't hold hearings a year ago for OAN because it was OAN and not CNN, and Democrats were in charge in Congress. You're in charge now. Are you gonna hold hearings for Newsmax?” Finnerty continued. After revealing that he spoke with network CEO Chris Ruddy last week to boast about Newsmax’s ratings , Comer said DirecTV’s decision is “very concerning to me.” He also claimed that it is “very similar” to what he claims is the “weaponization of the DOJ and FBI and what they did to Twitter and Facebook.”
