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.
As you read this article , bear in mind it is written by a known far left progressive for the Washington Post. That'll give you perspective.
Here in the FL Panhandle we get OAN on Direct TV, channel 347, have not been watching long.
I'm particularly impressed with The Tipping Point, comes on 8 Central, 9 Eastern. Liz Wheeler is the "anchor" though her show is opinion from a right slant. At first look, I thought she was a ditzy blonde. After listening to a few segments I realized she is actually brilliant -- particularly when you consider she's only 27. Maybe genius. She will be famous in short order, if not OAN, elsewhere.
I predict OAN will evolve from it's current fledgling status -- hardly any commercials due to difficulty in attracting sponsors, also using skype for many interviews -- to a major news channel in the next year or so.
I like the ledger report too.
So, they actually tell the truth?
We have never heard anyone speak as rapidly as Liz.
Bttt.

and Stephanie Hamill, nice
That is a hard headline to ignore until you realize its WoPo.
John Semmens, is that you?
“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.”
All you need to do is think the exact opposite of what is indicated here and that is the Compost, and every other MSM fake news purveyor.
From the headline I thought WaPo was predicting its own future.
Right you are, Don! Never a stutter, uh, mis-pronunciation or pause. And her mind is miles ahead of her mouth. Yes, maybe genius. I’d like to see Marc Fisher answer her invitation to appear on The Tipping Point. She’d make mincemeat of him!
I suppose even garbage men have favorite places from which they empty the dumpster. That fact doesn't imply that they like garbage.
“But that train keeps a rollin’, on down to San-An-Tohhhnnn...”
