OANN and the Big Lie

[Lede Progress]( [New York Times: Months after the inauguration of President Biden, One America News Network, a right-wing cable news channel available in some 35 million households, has continued to broadcast segments questioning the validity of the 2020 presidential election.]( {NAME}: One American News Network, a pro-Trump and ultra-right wing media company” continues to double down on the ‘Big Lie,’ even though they know it’s not true. More reporting from NYT: “Some of OAN’s coverage has not had the full support of the staff. In interviews with 18 current and former OAN newsroom employees, 16 said the channel had broadcast reports that they considered misleading, inaccurate or untrue.” OAN’s lies are dangerous. It is turning Americans against democracy and radicalizing its viewers.

AON “reporters” and producers know their reporting is filled with lies. Just look at what one producer told the NYT: “The majority of people did not believe the voter fraud claims being run on the air,” Mr. Golingan said in an interview, referring to his colleagues. He recalled seeing a photo of someone in the Capitol mob holding a flag emblazoned with the OAN logo. “I was like, OK, that’s not good,” Mr. Golingan said. “That’s what happens when people listen to us.” OAN is poisoning the minds of millions of Americans, and they must be stopped.
