No, they are simply a "piggyback" journalism site. They recycle articles from the wire and sources that actually have reporters. Just like this article, it was incorrect and they couldn't even be bothered to find a picture of an Iranian warship. They use a picture of a US Arleigh Burke class destroyer and don't bother to properly caption the image. They even had someone with dolphins confused in this thread.

Plug the OP's title into google and you'll see how laughable this is.

Trump sucks but you have to be a complete dumbass to think that they aren't fake news.

I don’t know anything about One America but I do know that CnN isn’t actually news. It’s nothing more that political editorial commentary. If that’s what you to watch it for then that’s fine. But let’s not pretend that any actual journalism goes on there.

And FTR I don’t need to read a single article from a trustworthy publication or otherwise to know that the chances of Iran sailing a fleet in to the Gulf of Mexico are exactly 0%.

From polifact, but I'm sure it and I will be called a libcuck or some shite. I don't have time to dig into what statements they looked at, but I saw ranges from 2015 to 2016.

Statements made on CNN

True (16%)
Mostly True (37%)
Half True (20%)
Mostly False (9%)
False (14%)
Pants on Fire (4%)


Fox news

True (10%)
Mostly True (12%)
Half True (18%)
Mostly False (21%)
False (30%)
Pants on Fire (9%)

So like fox news and MSNBC etc?

Each one caters to a demographic they feel is marketable.

OANN is a pretty blatantly right-leaning network. Not sure how we get around that. Tomi Lahren had a show, FFS

But on occasion I have found their coverage of world events that get no coverage on CNN/Fox refreshing.

I'm not all that worried that they will do it. Refueling for them would be a bitch even on their way to Venezuela if they take the Capetown route......that's 14,000 miles

It's not like they are going to get port privileges at Durban, SA or at St. Helena in the Atlantic(UK). They don't have nuclear powered subs or nuclear powered frigates/destroyers(the US does not anymore, either). So either they have a global network of bases we don't know about or a fleet of refueling/supply ships that we are unaware of

It's all b.s.....bluster
