REAL AMERICA -- Dan Ball W/ Roger Stone, People Are Losing Trust In Ron DeSantis, 3/23/23

The right-wing cable network One America News Network on Monday ran a pre-recorded 30-second segment acknowledging that there was “no widespread voter fraud” by Georgia election workers in the 2020 presidential election. The segment appears to be part of a recent settlement relating to a defamation lawsuit brought against the network by two such workers.The segment notes that an investigation by state officials into unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud made by ex-President Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani turned up nothing. “The results of this investigation indicate that Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ‘Shaye’ Moss did not engage in ballot fraud...

One of the nation’s biggest satellite broadcasters, DirecTV, plans to drop carriage of the fringe right-wing cable outlet One America News, several months after a Reuters report revealed that AT&T, one of DirecTV’s owners, was responsible for a large part of the media outlet’s overall revenue. OAN is owned by Herring Networks, founded by the entrepreneur Robert Herring Sr. “We informed Herring Networks that, following a routine internal review, we do not plan to enter into a new contract when our current agreement expires,” DirecTV said in a statement. A spokesman would not comment on a report from Bloomberg News...

One America News (OAN) and Newsmax are backing Joe Biden’s far-left, radical pick for FCC commissioner, Gigi Sohn, despite the fact that she and the organization she co-founded have called for the blacklisting of conservative broadcasters — including OAN. Gigi Sohn has made a number of public statements that should alarm conservatives. She has called for the Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a conservative-owned network of local broadcasters, to be stripped of its license. She has called for an investigation into Fox News, which she has called “dangerous to our democracy” and “state-sponsored propaganda.”

As it lauded former President Donald Trump and spread his unfounded claims of election fraud, One America News Network saw its viewership jump. Reuters has uncovered how America’s telecom giant nurtured the news channel now at the center of a bitter national divide over politics and truth.

Crime Prevention Research Center President Dr. John Lott tells One America News the terror watchlist now includes some million names, is growing rapidly and could soon be used as a back door means to limit Second Amendment rights for many law abiding Americans. One America’s John Hines has more from Washington.

Today, the Washington Post published another fake news hit piece on the amazing, and highly accomplished reporter, Christina Bobb from One America News (OAN). They are doing everything in their power to hurt the REAL reporters on the ground in Arizona who are reporting the truth about this historic audit process in the Grand Canyon State. The WaPo headline reads “One America News is the face of the Arizona election audit.” What does that even mean?

As the two fringe cable TV outlets battle for former President Donald Trump’s affections, several high-profile One America News staffers have jumped ship to Newsmax—not just in pursuit of a larger audience, insiders said, but also as a respite from OAN’s increasing extremism. Already known for its cartoonishly bonkers MAGA propagandizing, OAN in recent months has veered even further into unhinged right-wing territory. And Newsmax—which is often just as obsequiously pro-Trump in its commentary—has pulled back on its wildest election conspiracy theories while hoovering up some of OAN’s top on-air talent: news anchor Alex Salvi, correspondent Jenn Pellegrino, and reporter...

The trifecta of fake news-retractions unrolled this week after the far-left Washington Post, the far-left New York Times, and the far-left NBC News were all forced to issue retractions for smearing former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. All three fake news outlets reported Giuliani had received a defensive briefing from the FBI warning him he was the target of a Russian influence campaign. The faker-than-fake Washington Post also claimed OAN received the same briefing so the faker-than-fake Post was forced to retract that, as well. The Post’s original lies (I don’t link fake news): The FBI warned Rudolph W. Giuliani...

Two California Representatives spearheaded a letter calling on mass liberal cable, satellite and Big Tech companies they took donations from to censor Fox News, One America News Network and Newsmax. The call to silence these outlets by Democrat representatives was wholly un-American. The New York Times reported that the letter signed by Reps. Gerald McNerney (D-CA) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) questioned the roles of “Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox [, Altice] … Roku, Amazon, Apple, Google and Hulu” on the alleged “spread of dangerous misinformation.” The letter reportedly asked: “‘Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, OANN and...

OANN CEO Robert Herring offers Lou Dobbs a new home on the competing cable news network. One America News Network CEO Robert Herring seemingly offered a job to former-Fox Business host, Lou Dobbs, after his former network fired him following a lawsuit from Smartmatic, one of the voting machine companies accused of being complicit in widespread fraud in the 2020 election. “One America News would like Lou Dobbs to get in contact with us,” wrote Herring. “We may have a position available for you in which you wouldn’t be censored for speaking the truth!” Dobbs’ show was cancelled by Fox...

I discovered that OAN, One America News, is now provided by Directv. Is this for all packages or for a special package? It was not available before.

After a picture of Mike Gundy wearing a One America News shirt circulated and drew backlash from members of the Oklahoma State football team, the Cowboys head coach apologized to current players, former players and players' families Tuesday. Gundy said of a meeting with the team: "They helped me see through their eyes how the T-shirt affected their hearts. Once I learned how that network felt about Black Lives Matter, I was disgusted and knew it was completely unacceptable to me." He also said the meetings with his team have been "eye-opening."

I've hardly watched OAN, although in my small town I have seen a car with an OAN bumper sticker (I forget specifically what it said).Anyway, has OAN aired *any* live breaking coverage of the coronavirus crisis, Trump's and Pence's comments on the same, etc. For that matter, how reliable is OAN about *any* breaking news of serious import?And what do certain FReepers find appealing about OAN? Is it pro-Trump/anti-Dem?This FNC viewer wants to know.ff

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, President Donald Trump’s allies are trying to acquire the conservative-leaning privately owned One America News Network and to potentially take on Fox News Channel directly. The Journal said that investment firm Hicks Equity Partners—which is owned by the family of Thomas Hicks Jr., co-chairman of the Republican National Committee and a close friend of Donald Trump Jr. is looking to acquire the company with the help of other wealthy GOP donors for roughly $250 million from San Diego based Herring Networks. Even though Fox News dominates cable news and conservative cable...

I see that a little bit of karma has been visited on Ms.NBC: Rachel Maddow slapped with $10 million lawsuit over 'paid Russian propaganda' accusations. As reported earlier this year : For the past two years, Rachel Maddow has been a hero of her own spy thriller.She has written, directed and starred in a hit production based on the unlikely premise of a prime-time cable TV show host unraveling the most dastardly plot in American history — one opening monologue at a time.Only the story had a surprise twist at the end — she was completely wrong. It was like...

WATCH: Twitter Suspends Account Created to Track Anti-Trump Violence – @OANN pic.twitter.com/v9toIFVOkq — Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) May 7, 2019 Twitter has suspended an account established to document violent attacks on supporters of President Trump. The One America News network, OAN, reported the account, @Magaphobiaconservative, had been set up by one of its reporters, Jack Posobiec. OAN said it’s not clear why the account was suspended and whether or not it will be reinstated. Posobiec explained “Magaphobia” is the “irrational or unfounded fear of President Trump and his supporters.” The Gateway Pundit pointed out there have been hundreds of attacks...

Under capitalism, ownership brings control, and Fox News has a new corporate parent that began trading yesterday on NASDAQ.  There are reasons for conservatives to be deeply concerned. Sarah Ellison and Paul Farhi write at the Washington Post: Fox’s parent company is undergoing a generational change — one that produced another, perhaps more subtle sign of independence from the president. On Tuesday, Fox Corp. began public trading as the new parent of Fox News, Fox Entertainment and Fox Sports; the company is the result of 21st Century Fox’s sale of its film and television assets to Disney Corp. The...

A little less than a year after the first QAnon post, which has since led hundreds of thousands of news junkies down a conspiracy rabbit hole, news correspondent Jack Posobiec from One America News Network spoke with one of the co-originators of the “Q” persona who runs a group of individuals posing as a high-level government intelligence officer. On an anonymous “free speech” platform called 8Chan, they leave thousands of riddles, “clues,” odd questions, and cryptic lines as bread crumbs for their followers to help them in their search for truth. Many major media outlets have overviewed the nest of...
