Since the OK St tee shirt scandale came out I tuned in to the channel to see what the fuss was about. I do not find it racist at all and not nearly as politically biased as CNN or MSNBC. What am I missing here?

Don’t count on the MSM to tell the truth about anything, much less their competition.

It’s just batshit crazy. One of their anchors was all up in Pizzagate and the Seth Rich B.S.

It’s conspiracy theory central and Trump Porn TV.

Russia gate
Impeachment
Trump is racist
Trump misfed the Koi fish
Trump is gonna start WWIII
Trump is going to war with IRan
Trump is celebrating while thousands die in the streets
Trump is racist for saying Covid came from China
Kavanaugh "Believe all women"
Creepy Porn Lawyer for President
MUh Russia over and over and over


But because one reporter looked into pizza gate and Seth rich they are all up on conspiracy.

The pot didn't meet the kettle. It slammed right the frick into it while you were blinking like the blind fool you are.

you are so right. If anyone wants to see just how adversarial the press is just google yesterday’s White House Press Secretary briefing.

They fell for some Russian misinformation, too.

In other words, they are not some bastion of truth. They are pushing an agenda, just like Fox and CNN.

You guys are really reaching by putting this two-bit OANN operation on some sort of pedestal. It’s cheap young Republican operatives who are still wet behind their ears.

Gain some perspective. CNN and MSNBC are worse. You need to list all the bat shat conspiracy theories coming from those two networks. They probably out number the bat shat stuff coming from OANN by 4 to 1.

I go to a variety of news sources and use my common sense to get at the truth.

I scale it as written word most trusted (not opinions here) and talking heads least trusted.

I’m not going to dispute that. I’m just saying it’s not the second coming of Chet Huntley. You people act like OANN is impartial, and it’s laughable.

Other than it is pro-Trump, I know little about the platform.

Yet I find it extremely amusing that many of the MSM outlets that declare that the OAN promotes “conspiracy theories” have spent the past 4 years pushing the phony Trump-Russia collusion theory.

Bull shat. Nobody never said OANN was impartial. It is right wing conservative news. Just like CNN and MSNBC is left wing progressive news.

In March 2015, University of Southern California media professor Marty Kaplan praised the network for its focus on what he viewed as impartial news reporting, writing in The Huffington Post, "Ten minutes of OAN tells me eight stories; 10 minutes of Fox or MSNBC tells me one story, to make me mad," while commenting that OAN's opinion segments were "as delusional and incendiary as anything on conservative talk radio or Fox."[106] Don Kaplan of the New York Daily News echoed similar sentiments, writing in December 2016 that, "it's by far one of the most fair news outlets around, serving up a daily diet of ad-free, non-ideological, nonstop news—without smirking, snarky anchors or much fanfare" while stating that its opinion segments "skew hard to the right."[107]


OAN gives straight news without bias during the day.

A night they have opinion shows just like every other cable network.

So you’re just not going to name one?

Do you think you’re the only person who does this?

Uh huh.

I like it. I was flipping channels a few months ago and was like...wtf is this news channel? I watched it for a few minutes, waiting for a bias to come out. But it was just some hot chick talking about news, just giving the facts.

21 upvotes.

quote:

I watch it sometime. They pretty much just report the facts as is. If their is much bias I haven't seen it.

quote:

They are as neutral as I've seen. I subscribe to it. I like being about to turn it on and get the news read as it should be while I work inside the house.

quote:

OAN Is the closest news outlet you'll watch that's straight news, still leans right by today's standards but that's because the rest of the MSM is so far left.

And then...

lol no OAN is to the right of Fox

16 downvotes.

This is my opinion of them too. The older guy with the jet black hair, I skip him. He is not balanced enough but it’s an opinion show.
