Conservative Cable Network Gets Behind Biden’s FCC Nominee

One of the most right-wing channels on TV is throwing its weight behind a radically progressive Biden nominee who has called conservative news outlets threats to democracy.

One America News Network (OANN) is working behind the scenes to rally conservative support for Gigi Sohn, President Joe Biden’s latest pick to serve on the Federal Communications Commission. Conservative political operative Bradley Blakeman told the Washington Free Beacon that OANN's president personally arranged for him to appear in a pro-Sohn segment on the network and that OANN executives believe Sohn will be an ally in the network’s fight to wrest market share away from Fox News.

I think once a company, person or network compiles enough wealth and success, the deep state starts to circle to destroy it all.

It’s survival. Support the deep state and the destruction of America, they can be one of the elite when the whole thing self destructs, or lose it all and be a plebe like all of us little guys.

The enemy (Gigi Sohn) of my enemy (Fox News) is my friend? I don’t think so, in this case. I think OANN needs some new (and better) friends.

Just goes to show ideology isn’t what matters, it’s money.
Follow the dollars and it all leads to the same place...

Well, another one bites the dust. Newsmax came off my favorites list and my TV last month with their mandate madness. Now OANN is gone. It’s almost like they stand up these channels to bait us and then tear them down when their usefulness is up.

Yep, OANN is about market share, not survival, not conservatism - just filling a niche without any real conservative principles at heart. Prediction : OANN will become a liberal outlet at some point in the next few years.

Looks like Real America’s Voice is pretty much all that’s left as far as TV goes.

Let me know when OANN pretends to be patriots, are complicit in election fraud to illegally defeat a President and betray an entire nation, as well as their fans and viewers.
