Matt Gaetz Joins OAN With Own Show
Newsweek ^ | December 10, 2024 | Ewan Palmer

Posted on 12/10/2024 11:53:28 AM PST by mbrfl

Matt Gaetz is set to host his own primetime show on the One America News Network from January.

The Matt Gaetz Show, a one-hour political talk show, will air every weeknight at 9 p.m. ET from next year, the right-wing news outlet announced on Tuesday.

"OAN is blazing a trail in media, embracing not just traditional news but the platforms where Americans are going—streaming, apps, podcasts, and social media," Gaetz said in a statement, according to OAN.

"I couldn't be more thrilled to join OAN's forward-thinking team and be part of this revolutionary expansion."

OAN added in a statement: "With Gaetz rounding out OAN's prime-time lineup, the network is poised for a groundbreaking 2025, reaffirming its mission to deliver credible, independent and unfiltered commentary to audiences across the nation."

It’s not exactly what I was expecting would be his next step.

Wasted talent. He was given the Hot Potato Treatment way too soon, in my opinion. I’m sure ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy was
gloating. He may have even sent a concern-trolling email to Matt, saying how ‘sorry’ he was that it didn’t work out.

Well, he’ll probably pull a better salary than as U.S. Attorney General.

And he likely won’t be a guest on FOX. So, his visibility will not be as great as he would’ve had on FOX or as AG. But, he’ll be better off than as a congressman.

You might be able to watch OAN on the PLUTOTV app.

well, Trey Gowdy got a show, but it sucks. Judge Jeannine got on a show and does well.

OAN gets the thumbs up—the leftist controlled State Department declared it on the list of “riskiest sites”:

He could be just biding time until a 2026 run for Florida’s governorship. If that’s his plan, OANN might make more sense than taking a more high profile gig at, say, Fox for example.

It seems bewildering that he went from a leading congressmen crafting the GOP to a news channel that sadly has become hard to access.

Disappointing it means he will not have a role at Justice as hoped

Yes, it’s odd. If he really wants to make a career change into media, there are better ways to do it than joining OAN (No offense to OAN. They’re solid, but have been struggling to gain a foothold due to de-platforming issues).
