AT&T Spent Over $57 Million To Finance Fascistic OAN Cable Network

[boutons_deux]

AT&T's central role in the creation and continued survival of One America News Network.

According to court records reviewed by Reuters, OAN founder Robert Herring Sr. testified that

AT&T "told us they wanted a conservative network. … When they said that, I jumped to it and built one."

Records also indicate that according to an OAN accountant,

"ninety percent of OAN's revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms."

According to an AT&T filing that cites Herring's numbers, AT&T has paid OAN "about $57 million" in fees, though an AT&T spokesperson claimed this number is inaccurate.

OAN and all of its lies would not exist, and could not survive, without AT&T's blessing.

Whatever the figure AT&T has paid to help keep OAN alive, the network has been using the airwaves to push toxic -- and often dangerous -- misinformation.

That includes a deadly TV campaign (https://www.mediamatters.org/one-america-news-network/oans-months-long-campaign-against-covid-19-vaccines) against (https://www.mediamatters.org/one-america-news-network/oan-keeps-pushing-bizarre-and-dangerous-misinformation-about-covid-19-and) COVID-19 vaccines, hateful (https://www.mediamatters.org/one-america-news-network/oan-cesspool-anti-lgbtq-hate-its-supported-these-cable-providers-and) anti-LGBTQ content, and a network-wide assault on elections meant to hype bogus claims of fraud and overturn the 2020 results.

The election attacks include a reporter's nonprofit (https://www.mediamatters.org/one-america-news-network/watch-how-one-oan-host-relentlessly-fundraises-spread-fraudulent-arizona) seeking to fund fraudulent election "audits" around the country,

a demented (https://www.mediamatters.org/mike-lindell/tempting-defamation-lawsuit-oan-will-host-third-election-fraud-documentary-mypillow) obsession (https://www.mediamatters.org/mike-lindell/oan-has-aired-more-22-hours-mike-lindells-election-fraud-scam-symposium-just-two-days) with the MyPillow CEO and his money, and

a correspondent's call for mass executions (https://www.mediamatters.org/one-america-news-network/how-oan-figures-call-mass-executions-connected-arizona-ballot-audit) of election officials.

And that's to say nothing of the host who used a racial slur (https://www.mediamatters.org/one-america-news-network/oan-host-uses-nicki-minaj-story-use-racial-slur) on air or another host's apparent wish to shoot unhoused people (https://www.mediamatters.org/one-america-news-network/oan-host-youll-probably-end-jail-if-you-shoot-homeless-person-even-though).

We now know that AT&T didn't just choose this; it asked for this. Herring delivered, and we are all worse off for it.

They wanted to cash in on conservative money, tbh.

Probably figured if trump could easily fleece the rubes, so could they.

AT&T denies it is responsible for OAN but OAN and all of its lies would not exist, and could not survive, without AT&T's blessing.

RT is pretty good. Especially their documentaries :tu

Dont regularly watch but their news feed.is damn good they usually report breaking news faster than pretty much anyone.

I still give Al Jazera a but better grade.

I cant think of ANY american news org that comes even close to those 2.

Smh american news are complete and utter garbage. Lets just make a quick sample right now. This is what is main news stories on each right now:

Al jazeera: Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov win 2021 Nobel Peace Prize

Journalists from the Philippines and Russia hailed ‘for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression’.



RT: Barbarism behind bars: Rape & torture in Russia’s prisons laid bare by thousands of leaked videos, human rights activists tell RT

CNN: January 6 investigation confronts a perennial dilemma -- how to hold Trump accountable. :lmao

MSNBC: the far right next target are your kindergarten teachers :lol :lmao

Everyone of these stations talks at you and tells you how mad you should be.
Everyone cherry picks the most entertaining news at that moment in time.
Its not news, its commentary on events you should find outrageous.

What do you read? Like actual entities who have expert reporters in a specific field that have the ability to send reporters to other countries and station them. Reporters who could actually WORK in the field they gather information about.

You watch news in which the anchors are members of the "scream at you" actors guild.

Al Jazera and RT are especially great at having reporters on the ground tbqh.:tu

No american news outlet comes even close as I have shown in my post above :tu


All american media is is either:

A) Trump evil. Republicans racist fascist terrorists
B) Democrats = chinese.communist animals.


Your brain will rot if you listen to these for a long period of time :lol

[pgardn]

Oh! it got done because Putin wanted to get rid of an incompetent placement of a crappy administrator done by a possible political rival in the far reaches of places he does not have total control of. Yes, this happens. And he will respond to firing incompetent people he has no need for in order to make sure he remains president for life.


RT: Barbarism behind bars: Rape & torture in Russia’s prisons laid bare by thousands of leaked videos, human rights activists tell RT

Big news does not criticize Putin directly unless it goes through one of the opposition political parties HE HAS FORMED HIMSELF to pretend they are taking him on concerning an issue he knows he has backing.

I am, PRESIDENT FOR LIFE! Your man...

There is no news outlet in the entire world who does foreign affairs better than the NY Times. None. Its not even close.
EVERY world leader who wants to know what is actually going on refers to this paper FIRST. ALL OF THEM including Vlad the Impaler. Domestic affairs you go NY TIMES, Washington Post, WSJ (economic especially) and then The Economist (world wide economy). Its big countries with a free press. Dont try to pretend Russia, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia have a free press.

The only reason we even argue this is because our press is free to lie and be pushed politically. State driven entities push your shit. This is why accuracy is so important. You could not care less about accuracy. This means nothing to you. Your are totally agenda driven. WWIII to "life goes on... "

Massive hypocrite. Biggest on ST. Congrats.

Your hypocritical ass used them as a source on Covid.
You still believe the NY Times is an arm of the CIA when they actively investigated this organization throughout the US fanciful meddling into other country's affairs but you keep pushing that line. We know more about accurate information about the CIA and its meddling through the NY Times and the Washington Post than anything you could ever bring up.

Keep yourself a hypocrite and ignorant, it suits you.

DirectTV (reportedly) pulls the plug. ~90% of OAN's revenue comes from subscriber fees.

AT&T owns DirectTV.
