How terrible. Providing a diversity of opinion on their platform

Don’t they know the rules? Only the far far left like the clowns at Reuters, are allowed access to their platforms!

It’s a drop in the bucket compared to the corporate support for CNN, MSNBC and the Washington Post.

RE: far-right One America News

Does anybody ever call MSNBC or any other “news” network of their ilk the far-left news network?

It’s funny you see AT&T’s CNN on every TV in an airport but not OAN.

Same with Facebook for “allowing” the GOP to campaign on their services.

Make no mistake - the Democrats are fighting a civil war.

Why would corporations be supporting "news" companies? This implies there is some sort of benefit to be attained by these corporations.

Could the lie machine serve the interests of corporations at the expense of the American public? Is there some sort of profit to be made from spreading lies out to the public?

I’ve seen OAN a few times. I’d call it moderately conservative.

Do you think spreading lying propaganda is an important part of fighting a civil war?

Which side is the good guys? Those who spread the lying propaganda, or those who are the victims of the lying propaganda?
