OANN - The other conservative news network Trump keeps tweeting about
VOX ^ | May 13, 2019 | Aaron Rupar

President Donald Trump began his Monday morning by posting a tweet thanking his favorite TV show, Fox & Friends, for a “great show this morning.” Four minutes later, the president posted another tweet congratulating a lesser-known right-wing news network — One America News Network. “Also, congratulations to @OANN on the great job you are doing and the big ratings jump (“thank you President Trump”)!” he wrote. (It’s unclear what evidence, if any, Trump has that OANN has experienced a “big ratings jump.”) OANN’s platform is nowhere near as large as Fox News — the network is available via DirecTV and Verizon’s Fios but not most cable packages, and its ratings are reportedly beneath the Tennis Channel — but it is even more doggedly loyal to the president. Trump is increasingly taking notice.

If you are not watching OANN, then now is the time to start. It so refreshing having a Conservative News Voice.

I like OANN. Stumbled across it by accident. Liz Wheeler’s Tipping Point program gives the viewpoints of conservative millennials. It’s refreshing to see.

I was hoping since 2015/2016 that Trump would give more props to OAN, especially after they covered all of his 2015/2016 rallies. Glad he is giving them a welcome ratings boost. Hopefully OAN will have more demand so more cable providers will offer it.

Wish the Cable TV suppliers like AT&T & ComCast, Infinity, would offer OANN in the TV packages. Fox News Channel is dying just like the Democrat Party is dying from self-inflicted wounds. The Rupert Murdoch one time masterpiece is no more...thanks to the Murdoch kids!!!

Every time I turn on OANN I hear on sided propaganda on how terrible tariffs are. Forget it..

Yup. With the exception of Stuart Varney, I’m done with Fox. Vannity is unwatchable with his non-stop endless loop. Ingraham is non-stop sensationalism and otherwise school girl giddiness.

Has the president sat down for an interview with any reporters on OANN? Maybe that time has come to make it happen. Start some new customs and habits.

I’m sure Vox just gave a neutral view of OANN, I’m sure....

I'm wondering if I'm thinking similarly to Trump.

Chris Wallace allowing that stunt during the Buttigieg town hall should indicate where the wind is blowing at Fox news. The parties involved said nothing in response, but it might have been so that they didn't add fuel to the fire.

I stumbled on to OANN thru Liz Wheeler’s tipping point too.

Now I’m pretty regular on the Daily Ledger which is lead in time slot to Liz.

OANN - not fair & not balanced. all conservative all the time.

I’ve been a subscriber to OANN for a few months. They are my all around favorite in sort of a Goldilocks way. Just right.

I had OANN on last night for the rally.

My dad is a FDR/Truman Democrat. Been voting Dem all his life because he believes the Dems are for the Little Guy and the GOP is the party of the Rich. He was a nightly CNN viewer, so of course his view of Trump and the GOP was rather negative.

And yet even he got bored with all the Trump bashing on CNN, so I was able to convince him to give OANN a try.

Much to my surprise, next time I visited him he had OANN on. He had learned so much about what was going on at the southern border and was aghast. Being a CNN devotee, he had no knowledge of the horrors stemming from open borders. From that point, we had quite a productive conversation about border policies.

If all networks reported the truth as OANN is doing, this country would be so much different today, in a better way.

They work the anti tariff propaganda into almost everything they report on.

OANN is great . better than Fox. dobbs is good at FBN and i still like carlson,hannity and ingram occasionally, butt with the Murdoch family soo in love with Buttplug and friends it’s hard to see any conservative lasting much longer there.
