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

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?

I cant help you, as I have never looked at it.
 
OANN is a blog, not a legitimate news source with actual accredited journalists. You guys are so allergic to the truth that you'll latch onto anybody that tells you what you want to hear, no matter how little credibility they have.

That it's a blog, has no actual journalists and makes up things to cater to a niche, fringe set of people looking to verify their own previously held beliefs? Nope.

Only if you believe the propaganda from these supposed underground journalists.

Anytime I tune in to OAN, it reminds me of a 9th grade exercise in journalism. The reporters are very inexperienced. It's actually a little hard to watch.

They are a cable news network and hold WH credentials.

Given that this is the Trump administration and it has a less than stellar reputation with the truth, WH credentials are not a meaningful argument right now.

MSM

The alternative sites, some who suffer frequent attacks, denial of service and censorship by FB and Google, not so much.
 
White House Correspondents’ Association boots OAN from briefing rotation

The White House Correspondents’ Association said on Wednesday it was booting a media outlet from its rotation of news organizations that get seats in the White House briefing room after one of its reporters twice defied social-distancing policies amid the coronavirus pandemic.
[...]
The statement did not name the outlet it was kicking out of the rotation, but only Chanel Rion, a correspondent for the fringe conservative cable channel One America News Network, was seen standing in the back of the room when the president called on her to ask a question.

They don't adhere to the mainstream narrative.

Never heard of it.

WAY too many ads. Way too many. Poorly written, too.
Two sentences of text and a video clip? That's it? You call this 'journalism'?

Poorly written? The video is poorly written?

OANN is known for reporting false stories as news and doesn't issue retractions when the story is debunked. That makes it an unreliable source for getting your news, and I assume any story that has OANN as its source is false until the story is also reported by a more reliable network.

Well for the Rachel Maddow Lovers, how about that?

Some hard core Democrats media says OAN is kicked out.

But OAN itself has not reported this. Seems like they would.

Also, when it was Acosta booted out, why all the support for that scum?

Finally, I would be shocked if the left wing media, Democrats I mean, did not ban reporters covering the news. So long as their media hates the reporting, simply ban the news.
 
So the Deniers deny Rep. Jim Jordan keeps asking the committee Chair to investigate this, it is a lie?
