AT&T seems to be returning the favor. I have U-verse (though I plan to get rid of it soon) and recently I've noticed they are playing lots of ads for NewsMax. The ads basically amount to campaign propaganda for Trump. One in particular shows lots of Trump tweets about "fake news" and then says that NewsMax is "real news". I'm pretty sure they originate from AT&T, as they have the channel number printed on the bottom of the screen during the ads and sometimes also states the channel number in the voiceover information. I've reached out to the channel I've seen the ads on most (FX) and they said it's likely the ads are from AT&T. If so, then it sure seems like free campaigning without overtly appearing to be free campaigning. If true, it is especially repugnant considering the lip service they and their CEO recently paid to Black Lives Matter.

It makes me angry to read about the blatant graft & corruption in our government. These officials are supposed to be protecting the citizens that are the backbone of our country, but they are rewarding themselves and their monied backers, stealing from the taxpayers. We need a blue wave in November, then new laws so this cannot occur in the future no matter which party is in control. We need to get money out of politics so we can afford a decent standard of living for everyone, no matter their sexual orientation or the color of their skin. Vote.
