News organizations survive on input from newsmakers. Gathering quotes, documents, tips and so on is their job.
So any group calling itself a news outlet is in a bind when one of its people speaks out in the media — as when a One America News producer named Marty Golingan gave an interview for a New York Times story about his outlet’s continued pro-Trump tilt. In the piece by Rachel Abrams, Golingan described his unease when he saw someone in the “Capitol mob” carrying a flag with the OAN logo. “I was like, okay, that’s not good,” he said. “That’s what happens when people listen to us.”
OAN’s response? Fire him.
Golingan’s situation points to an apparent crisis of conscience in the ranks at OAN, whose San Diego headquarters employs about 150 people. Many of his colleagues, Golingan said, didn’t believe the channel’s coverage of Joe Biden’s victory in the Nov. 3 election. “The majority of people did not believe the voter fraud claims being run on the air,” he told the Times. Even months after Biden’s win, notes Abrams, OAN continues promoting the fiction that there were “doubts”...

“Even months after Biden’s win, notes Abrams, OAN continues promoting the fiction that there were “doubts”...”
GOOD. Unlike some other so-called “conservative” aka RINO groups, they know where they stand.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
“News organizations survive on input from newsmakers. Gathering quotes, documents, tips and so on is their job.”
Yeah, we noticed that a lot of “news” is reporting what other news outlets say. I often see some news reporter on Fox, interviewing another Fox reporter. Same on CNN, MSNBC, etc.
We also saw it in action when the fake Russian Dossier went around, and they all reported that “according to WaPo, etc”.
I’m not ever impressed about what the majority of people think.
Speaking to The NY Times? Fire him for stupidity.
Was there something in his contract that he wasn’t supposed to cohort with the competition without permission?
I have the highest admiration for OAN’s journalists, reporters and anchors, especially Chanel Rion, a Pulitzer Prize deserving journalist if there ever was one.
Moles seem to be commonplace anymore. Let’s dig up the garden, and start over.
AbramsIdiot purposely ignores that they, the Leftist DEMs, spent 4 years suggesting and fomenting the alleged illegitimacy of the Trump win and candidacy. Yet, AbramsIdiot drivels on and decries “doubts” in BidenIdiot’s win.....LMAOGTFO!
“Pay and benefits at OAN were solid, says Golingan, who worried that he couldn’t get hired at another news outlet. “It’s tough to leave a place that buys off your silence,” he says.”
In other words, he wants to work somewhere else, and knows if he resigns, he will carry the OAN stain. So he goes “woke, gets fired, and goes to some new job. We see through you pal.
And this “openness”. That must be why NYT reporters are interviewed as guests so often on OANN. /s
Asian Soy Boy!!
Edmund Burke said you shouldn’t be. The number of people with an opinion does not add credence to that opinion. It is either true or not.—paraphrasing from memory Contemplations on the Revolution in France

Half have doubts and the other half knows there was cheating.
I don’t admire her reporting but, I do admire her...a lot.

Exactly!!
You are either WITH us or AGAINST us.
Fiction?
WI Supreme Court rules they broke the law, so did Courts in Michigan.
Doubts my arse
Even Congressman Steve King of IA stupidly talked to them.
You're better off talking to that news reporter on The Muppets.
