An inside look at One America News, the insurgent TV network taking ‘pro-Trump’ to new heights
The Washington Post ^ | July 5, 2017 | Marc Fisher

Posted on 07/07/2017 12:48:00 PM PDT by Hennible Cobb

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 CNN is crashing and burning, the fledgling OAN is rising from the ashes. A Phoenix. Also a little grandstanding to attract much merited attention. Smart, huh? A wing assault on the lowly CNN.

“In 2000, Robert Herring Sr., who is 76, sold the family’s business, Herco Technology, for $122 million. He retired and met a woman in Russia who became his third wife. An insomniac, Herring spent much of his nights watching TV. After a while, he decided to dive into the business himself.”

What?

I like OAN....been watching it for months. I am glad when could still get it when we switched to DirecTV and another plus, we now get NewsMax TV so that is a plus for us.

I like both Ledger and Liz Wheeler. OAN is not as glitzy as Fox News but I know what side OAN is coming out on... the right side and they are more conservative than Fox News!!

It’s only hard to ignore because it isn’t actually the headline of the article.

re>If you want NEWS...as in events happening, OANN will become your favorite go-to channel.

Watched it when I was in Florida. Appeared they just report news and left any biases out of it. Shocking to watch real news as it should be.

Liz W is a winner. I have been talking about here for over a year.

OAN is a great news channel - we’ve been watching for about two years, and it gets better all the time. Liz Wheeler is especially good.

Couldn’t agree more. The only thing I ever watch on Fox anymore is Hannity... right after Liz Wheeler!

OAN is actually pretty good in covering a lot of bits of stories not heard elsewhere, not even Fox. And they have been extraordinary good in getting out just about every Trump speaking event, rally, and tweet, and at the same time, revealing the mockery that passes for opinion over at CNN as their launching point for a lot of rebuttals.

I think they used to have Tomi Lahren, before she went over to the Blaze, and got used so badly by both the Blaze and Fox.

Does anyone know if DISH has it? I think we have the “everything on God’s green earth” package and I can’t find it.

No bias there, WashPoohPooh.
