(12,712 posts)He makes it even more obvious that he wants a propaganda outlet and that this is not about news, really.
OANN is a perfect candidate for his state-run Ministry of Truth, but, until its mandatory, I don't think he will have as much of an audience even after the "outlet" move.
OANN "It's better than Pravada!" "Trump is Truth!"

(772 posts)its the reason he ran for prez. I think he wanted Hillary to win, then he'd start a "news" station just so he could tear his enemies down 24/7.
He's still planning on it.

(10,103 posts)Or whatever its called, but I dont think the Fox masses will move over to it. The Fox cast has developed their show and its not just about trump. Of course for Donny dumbass everything is about him.

Kristian Rouz came to OAN straight from Sputnik News (Putin-run Russian network)

Judy Mikovits is a straight up completely discredited anti-vaxxer hack and a pure CT nutter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_Mikovits
Judy Anne Mikovits (c.?1958) is a discredited American ex-research scientist who is known for her anti-vaccination activism, promotion of conspiracy theories, and scientific misconduct. She has made false claims about vaccines, coronavirus, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
As research director of CFS research organization Whittemore Peterson Institute (WPI) from 2006 to 2011, Mikovits led an effort that reported in 2009 that a retrovirus known as xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV) was associated with CFS and may have had a causal role. However, the paper came under fire,[7] leading to an eventual retraction on December 22, 2011, by the journal Science. In November 2011, she was arrested and held on charges that she stole from WPI, but she was released after 5 days and the charges were later dropped.
In 2020, Mikovits drew attention online for promoting conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic via the conspiracist internet video Plandemic, which made claims that are either false or not based on scientific evidence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plandemic
Plandemic is a 26-minute conspiracy theory video released in May 2020 that promotes a variety of falsehoods and misinformation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was produced by Mikki Willis's California-based production company Elevate, which has produced other conspiracist videos in the past. The producers of the video state that it is a trailer for an upcoming full-length documentary film to be released in Summer 2020. The video stars discredited former medical researcher turned anti-vaccination activist Judy Mikovits.
Promoted by conspiracy theorists, the video spread rapidly and virally on social media, garnering millions of views, making it "one of the most widespread pieces of coronavirus misinformation." The video was removed by various platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and Twitter, over its misleading content and promotion of false information.

OAN is a clear and present danger.
If they get even half as popular as Fux News, my civil war countdown clock gets moved up.
