An inside look at One America News, the insurgent TV network taking ‘pro-Trump’ to new heights

One America News is an obscure TV channel struggling to emerge from the cellar of the cable ratings, but it is nonetheless one of President Trump’s favorite media outlets. It’s not hard to see why: On One America newscasts, the Trump administration is a juggernaut of progress, a shining success with a daily drumbeat of achievements.

One America — a tiny father-and-sons operation that often delivers four times as many stories per hour as its competitors — promises “straight news, no opinion,” promoting itself as the antidote to the Big Three cable news networks’ focus on punditry and the one big story of the moment.

But since its inception in 2013, and especially since Trump began his march to the White House, One America’s owner, Robert Herring Sr., a millionaire who made his money printing circuit boards, has directed his channel to push Trump’s candidacy, scuttle stories about police shootings, encourage antiabortion stories, minimize coverage of Russian aggression, and steer away from the new president’s troubles, according to more than a dozen current and former producers, writers and anchors, as well as internal emails from Herring and his top news executives.

snip

OAN has only four correspondents of its own, based mainly in Washington. Earlier this month, in 16 consecutive stories, those reporters interviewed only conservative lawmakers and experts — a sharp contrast from Fox and MSNBC, which, despite their overt political leanings, routinely include the other side in their reports.

OAN breaks its cycle of half-hour newscasts only for two hours of evening opinion shows — The Daily Ledger with Graham Ledger and Tipping Point with Liz Wheeler — both of which are guns-blazing nightly tributes to Trump. Ledger is a tough guy who takes no prisoners. Talking about people coming into the country from majority-Muslim countries, he says, “If they won’t take a bite out of a pulled pork sandwich, we probably won’t let them in the country.” Wheeler leans more on clever snark and verbal eyerolls: “How many innocent people have Islamophobes killed this week? Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

And I am visiting him soon at his lake place in western Wisconsin. At least I will have my own cabin. I have cut short my planned time with him this winter. He's in his late 60s, is from Minnesota and voted for Paul Wellstone. Now, he's a retired Southern white boy, viagra user, bourbon and vodka drinker, has heart disease and is diabetic. He started by watching Fox for the short skirts. Now, he watches that thing and I have problems even being with him. I think he wishes he could have the women that Trump has.

so not only is hillary in cahoots with the russians, she's also the most inept politician and criminal in history.

she got the russians to hack and release the wrong party's emails.
she got the russians to damage her campaign and help donnie's campaign.
no doubt she also got comey to fabricate an excuse to destroy her reputation right before the election.

wow, is she incompetent.

I know Trump and Hillary Clinton are both public figures, but at some point, aren't his claims that she committed crimes civilly actionable? He is making claims he knows are not true, which meets the criteria for slander and libel. It just seems, regardless of her being a public figure, that at some point, there is a legal case. Especially to shut down his facebook and twitter feeds.

I would assume that falsely accusing someone of a felony is against Facebook and Twiter policy, right?

"Trump's Lies, Classified and Codified Inc. "

Since the formation of..

The person is such a demented idiot liar, he can't remember the storyline and gets it confused. My old boss told me once that if you hear something 8 times, you take it as fact and it becomes ingrained in your thinking. That's what he's doing, telling big outrageous honking lies (enemy of the people, lock her up) over and over and over and his morons will believe and even some Independents will believe because they've heard it so very much. Putin even said he helped him in front of the world. I really don't think Cadet Bone Spurs believes his own lies. I think he secretly laughs at others for believing his toxic nonsense, but reviles them if they demand the truth.
