OAN, a Dependable Trump Promoter, Faces a 'Death Blow'
New York Times ^ | 7/27/2022 | Jeremy W. Peters and Benjamin Mullin

The future of One America News, which established itself as a powerful voice in conservative media by promoting some of the most outlandish falsehoods about the 2020 election, is in serious doubt as major carriers drop it from their lineups and defamation lawsuits threaten to drain its finances. By the end of this week, the cable network will have lost its presence in some 20 million homes this year. The most recent blow came from Verizon, which will stop carrying OAN on its Fios television service starting Saturday.

We now subscribe to OAN Live after U-verse unceremoniously dropped OAN a few months ago with no announcement or notification. We just hope OAN can survive. How come small bakeries are subject to public accommodation laws but TV carriers are not?

I wonder when the Times will suffer a “death blow”?

NYT implies OAN is struggling because they carried ‘the most outlandish Trump lies’, not because internet service providers are dropping them.

BTW Pluto carries OAN.

Pluto only carries the non-live version of OANN, but it is still a decent option.

OAN has over a billion and a half dollars in defamation lawsuits pending as well. They’re facing challenges on a number of levels.

Let’s also remember that Steve Bannon’s War Room is also being attacked, Bannon himself was recently convicted for refusing a congressional subpoena, I wonder when the lawsuits and other obstacles will be thrown in their way.

If OAN is eliminated will be a roadmap to getting as many Conservative voices off the air as possible.

NY Times/Yahoo News can always be counted on to editorialize the news to fit their leftist activist point of view.

Nice try, hard to get ratings when you are being de-platformed. The day after Biden called for it Direct TV removed OAN. CNN has dismal ratings but has nothing to worry abut. This will probably be the end of OAN because it is what the state wants.

NYT promoted outlandish falsehoods about Trump almost every day and they dare sit in judgment of anyone?

That paper isn’t even good enough to wipe your ass with.
