DirectTV reportedly refused to air advertising for the Citizens United documentary “Rigged: The Zuckerberg-Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump,” Breitbart News has learned, in what Citizens United called ‘woke political censorship.’
The refusal is detailed in an April 15 letter to Michael Hartman, who is the General Counsel and Chief External Affairs Officer at DirecTV.
“When the account representative for the media buy firm inquired as to why, the only explanation given was that the company’s standards and practices department ‘isn’t client facing,’” he wrote, blasting the lack of justification as a “red flag,” which suggests that the ad’s rejection “was a blatant act of censorship” rather than a legitimate exercise.
“The lack of an explanation leads us to believe the decision is a blatant act of woke political censorship by a company exercising near monopolistic power,” he wrote.
