website like OANN? They are a fringy rightwing propaganda group that specializes in praising trump. They are worse than Fox. Don't support them.

Their reporter is not a "rising star", she's a Trump activist who was booted out of the White House briefing room for flagrantly violating social-distancing rules, placing other reporters at risk.

This is not a good person that you're praising.

OANN isn't a news network. The fact that anyone in America thinks that it is is a damning indictment Rainbow Droid May 2020 #3

Neither is Fox "news", but they sure have turned almost 1/2 of a great country BComplex May 2020 #5
