On Saturday at a rally in Conroe, Texas, Donald Trump called for the boycott of multiple media corporations for their political bias and strangleholds on information, singling out AT&T and DirecTV first for their threat to get rid of One America News. The rally was covered live by Right Side Broadcasting Network.

MONTGOMERY, TX – While speaking at a โ€œSave Americaโ€ rally in Conroe, Texas on Saturday, former President Donald Trump urged his fans in attendance to boycott AT&T in retaliation for an announcement earlier this month that telecom giant would be dropping the One America News (OAN) from their DirecTV lineup in a move that experts say could cripple the conservative, Trump-friendly network.

โ€œIf they shut down OAN you should boycott AT&T and DirecTV. Theyโ€™ve got a big audience, itโ€™s purely political,โ€ Trump said at his rally on Saturday, which was also attended by OANโ€™s president. โ€œAnd while youโ€™re at it boycott Comcast and Xfinity, while youโ€™re at it. Because theyโ€™re no good. Theyโ€™re just no good, and theyโ€™re so bad for our country.โ€

At the rally Trump also criticized CNN โ€“ a favorite target of the former president โ€“ which is owned by Time Warner, another company owned by AT&T; he also stated that OAN impending removal from DirecTV was โ€œpurely political.โ€

Trump tore into CNN calling it โ€œcorrupt.โ€

โ€œHow bad, by the way, how bad and how fake is CNN?โ€ he said to cheers. โ€œWe no longer have a free and fair pressโ€ฆif we did all of this would end. Our corrupt media is going to destroy our country if we donโ€™t do something about it.โ€

Trump again slammed AT&T and DirectTV on Sunday via a statement released through his Save America PAC, and also tore into NBC News’ parent company Comcast โ€“ which he referred to as โ€œCONcastโ€ โ€“ calling for a boycott of them all, which he referred to as โ€œradical left lunatics.โ€

โ€œAT&T is closing the very popular One America News Network (OAN) because too many people are watching,โ€ Trump said in his statement. โ€œThey couldnโ€™t put up with that any longer. Conservatives / Republicans should boycott Direct TV, and while youโ€™re at it, โ€˜Concastโ€™sโ€™ Xfinity as well. These are Radical Left Lunatics who are destroying our Nation!โ€
