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

Posted on 07/27/2022 6:47:33 AM PDT by Menehune56

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.

I have yet to see any of these Biden propagandists refute any claim about the sham 2020 election.

Never heard of Pluto, but I’m beginning to realize that I have to find alternatives.

Also, I’m sending some more bucks to FR today. I’m a monthly, but not for a lot (I might raise it), but can you imagine life without our one news source?

OAN through Roku is a superior platform. You can watch as much or as little as you want. Buy My Pillow products, not made in China crap from Joe Bitemes business partners.

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

And of course you leave out the essential part which helps to clarify things for everybody.

They are being sued by corrupt garbage company "Dominion" which specializes in vote rigging machines, many of which have been implicated in some of the ridiculous results we have seen from the 2020 election.

Their main guy is a wackadoodle Trump hating piece of sh*t, and these lawsuits are just preemptive lawfare.

They believe by getting their cases put in front of the corrupt Democrat Judges now polluting the legal system, they can win damages against One America News network which simply reported what other people said.

And yes, I will predict right now, if they get the cases heard before the human sh*t that is Democrat appointed Judges, they will likely win because we all know how corrupt is the process now.

The Supreme Court might save them, but they are no guarantee of sanity either nowadays.

If it had ratings it would remain in business.

Overly simplistic theory. I've been trying to find a way to watch OAN since the 2020 election. All I can find is the week delayed "OAN +". Why anyone would want to watch a week old news show is beyond me, but that's all I can find.

I suspect there are a *LOT* of people who would watch OAN live if they could find a way to do so.

Of course the corrupt establishment is doing everything they can to make certain that nobody can watch a channel that isn't part of the propaganda system under their control.

I applaud you for taking action. A lot of people just talk.

I cannot find any live news from OAN on Roku. All I get is news that is a week old. Sometimes older than that.

Where do you find OAN on Roku? I find OAN +, but not OAN live.

Censorship is not OK when the government does it, but Big Tech and the Media Giants can do it on behalf of Big Brother.

You have to get a special “Transfer code” from verizon to keep your same number, which I needed to do. A wonderful rep at Patriot Mobile” walked me through the process.

https://patriotmobile.com

As part of their welcome package, they include a copy of the Constitution!

They are Pro-Life and Pro-Family. I urge our FRiends to check it out.

OAN Live is a subscription stream but the Apple TV app is pretty good and I think they are worth supporting.

I don't do anything Apple. I have absolutely no Apple products.

I also don't have a smart phone that runs apps. I have an old flip phone that simply makes calls and nothing else.

The technical term is “lawfare.”

Really? Have you ever worked in the cable/streaming business at the level where these things are decided? I spent 15 years in that business.

If it were up to the people running these carriers, Fox would be in the trash bin. But they make the carriers money. Lots of money.

OAN had decent content, but the production values looked like Local Access.

It is about three things: Money. Money. And money.

Anyone telling you anything else doesn’t know how this stuff works.

You seem to think that it was a profitable use of the broadcast/broadband infrastructure. It it were making money for these carriers, it would still be one.

Bad production, bad sales, and bad negotiations will sink you pretty quickly in that world.

That's a good theory, but Fox News took a decidedly Liberal turn after it was taken over by the Murdoch children. The examples of this are too numerous to bother pointing them out, and I expect you are aware of some of them yourself.

Disney? Are they making more money pissing off people in Florida with their gay groomer sh*t? Is their ridiculous "Woke" heroes increasing the monetary value of their franchises?

Yes, for normal people it's about "money money money", but something I learned awhile back is that when people get to a certain level of money, they simply stop caring about money, and start caring very greatly what their peers think of them.

Again, the examples of this are so numerous I would think you are aware of them yourself.

Anyone telling you anything else doesn’t know how this stuff works.

Anyone telling you it is only about money, has an incomplete understanding of how it works.

Once you get to a certain "elite" quantity of wealth, you are no longer so greatly concerned about making money, you are more concerned about impressing the people in your social circles.

What's Bill Gates doing with his money nowadays? Warren Buffett? Rupert Murdoch?

I hear Nancy Pelosi has 124 million dollars. Is she really interested in making more for the sake of having more?

Remember, children, the NYT covered up the Ukrainian holocaust and their chief liar received the Pulitzer Prize for his lies.

They have never rescinded the prize.

They have no moral credibility whatsoever.
