What is wrong with OAN reports of the news?

They should be dishonest like Jonathan Karl, Jim Acosta or Rachel MAddow you mean? Clear up why you claim OAN is dishonest? Do you believe Media Matters perhaps?

Though OAN has not been my go to news operation, I hear bad stuff about them from Democrats on the forum.

One of their opinion-heads ends each show with, "Even when I'm wrong I'm right."

'Nuff said.

I don't read HuffPo so I have no idea what you're taking about. You couldn't address my actual points so you make up these strawmen. Hard pass, kid.

It goes straight to the heart of your argument about the reliability of the source material, you aren't basing it on the facts, you are basing it on your opinion of the source. Do you feel that way about sources that lean into your own biases? If you don't then this is just kabuki, like always.

I will present one of their reports and see how lousy this is for democrats. It exposes Nadler a lot but so what?

We learn here that Jim Jordan is working to get Inspector Horowitz to step forward to be examined and that the Democrats block this man.

So what is the complaint?

Watch videos of the press conference when OAN reporters start asking questions: most of the time they are simply glorifying Trump and skew questions off the topic.

Further, the channel often offers conspiracy theories as news are constantly being debunked on falsehoods they put on air like the story on how California was going to institute a Bible Ban, Syria never gassed its own citizens and the promotion of the pedophile ring being run by Hillary Clinton aides out of a pizza joint.

Also, their WH correspondent claimed that Fauci created COVID-19 and it came out of a lab in North Carolina.

You can't base the integrity of a news channel based on one story. There is a lot more to it that makes OAN sound like the drunk uncle at Christmas dinner.

That's a good try at an evasion. How about CNN or MSNBC, then? Again, it doesn't matter you don't disparage any left leaning sources much, if at all.
