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 Amanda Brilhante. Those moves followed Newsmax poaching OAN’s White House correspondent Emerald Robinson last year.
Pellegrino, who served as a White House correspondent and on-air host for OAN, abruptly left the far-right channel earlier this month, only for Newsmax to announce her debut as co-anchor of a 9 p.m. ET program called Cortes and Pellegrino, co-hosted by former Trump campaign senior adviser Steve Cortes.
In late March, meanwhile, Salvi—one of OAN’s rare “straight news” anchors—revealed during his media-focused show After Hours that he was exiting the network after hosting since 2019. A few weeks later, Salvi quietly showed up on Newsmax, revealing his new role as a Rome-based foreign correspondent with the network. Brilhante, who’d been with OAN since graduating college in 2017, was hired away in February to be Newsmax’s breaking news reporter.

LOL! Yahoo News looking for bias is like OJ hunting the real killers.
News max has always been way out there so if they are bolting OAN for newsmax I doubt it has anything to with edititorializtion or political bent
She looks like fun...
OAN is really good. It’s a great place to get news from around the world. Pelligrino joined Newsmax because she was so ffered a prime time show with Steve Cortez. It’s a great show.
OAN is headquartered in California and Newsmax is headquartered in Florida.....so there’s that too.
Marissa Mayer!
Rd later.
OAN’s Chanel Rion (a lovely woman) is President Trump’s favorite news correspondent.
NewsMax has no one comparable!!!!
The only way you could find out all the little amazing things Trump accomplished day to day was by watching OAN. The stuff no one reports.
I agree. Newsmax is quite a bit bigger than OAN, and they have grown massively since Fox News was widely seen as stabbing us in the back.
+1.
“no clicks for commies”
...agreed. And absolutely no need.
As if Yahoo is a credible news source. They are so jealous and wish they had the clout of OAN.
Even Posobiec left (I am not sure when) and is claiming a sr editor, or some such, title from his pal Will Chamberlain’s startup.
OAN and Newsmax are both controlled opposition.
Question:
Which news outlet perpetuated the Russia Hoax for four years, MSNBC or OAN?
Which news outlet denied the authenticity of the Biden laptop, MSNBC or OAN?
Which news outlet denied the authenticity of the recorded phone calls between Biden and Poroshenko that clearly revealed the scheme to get the prosecutor fired, MSNBC or OAN?
Which news outlet wants you to believe that the election was the most honest in history and January 6th was an insurrection, MSNBC or OAN?
Which news outlet has been right about the facts for years with no budget or advertising support, MSNBC or OAN?
Who would an honest person rather work for, MSNBC or OAN?
Geesh, seemed like every female from Fox was wearing a wig.
I stopped watching OANN when Liz Wheeler and Graham Ledger left.
“...every female from Fox was wearing a wig.”
WTF are you talking about, dude?
.....‘Stars Bolting’ from one network to another is par for the course in media. Always a lot of horse trading going on when near the year of contract renewal”.....
Thanks... Sane Reasoning wins!
