Trump TV, Jr's buddies looking to buy up major stock in propaganda website OANN.

Trump Jr's friends have been working to acquire a large portion of OANN news, which has been trolling for Dear Leader since he started to make his run. (https://web.archive.org/web/2020050...20/05/trump-is-really-aiming-to-take-down-fox)

Jr's buddies must have leaked it too soon because shortly after that article came out on it, they had to update it with they hadn't yet bought into it, but were looking at it according to the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...fair-updates-story-about-donald-trump-jr-oan/

Where once the story declared that the investor group “has acquired” a stake in OAN, it now states: “According to sources, an investor group aligned with his son Don Jr. and the Dallas-based Hicks family is in negotiations to acquire a major stake in One America News Network, the fledgling conservative cable-news channel that features hosts like Jack Posobiec, a chief promoter of the Pizzagate conspiracy.”
(Bolding added to highlight Vanity Fair’s “update.”)

Another change relates to the alleged involvement of Donald Trump Jr. in the deal. Sherman’s original story indicated that it’s “unclear whether Don Jr. invested Trump family funds in the deal or was given equity,” a line of reporting that angered Charles Herring, who ripped away in his letter: “Your statement makes it clear that Donald Trump, Jr. has an equity stake in One America News — whether it was given to him or was in investment of family funds,” reads the letter. “The statement is factually incorrect, as stated above, Herring Networks, Inc, and its brand OAN are solely owned by the Herring family. Your motives seem clear, to strip OAN of any legitimate independence in its reporting by propagating fake and defamatory statements.”

But regardless just more proof that the propaganda machine Trump is allowing to be used to attack our citizens is very real. And is all being used to attack Biden to get this clown re-elected.

The what news?

OANN is a website that was started in 2014 shortly after Edward Snowden landed in Russia. They flat out lie for Trump, and in the press conferences he was having them planted to ask him very Dear Leader-esque questions.

Oliver did a good bit on them.


I had a relative recommend that I stick to reading that website when I dipped a toe into talking about politics with him to figure out what I was dealing with. It is far right nonsense that is designed to get people to believe Dear Leader's propaganda with a combination of misleading and cherry picked stories and a comment section that teaching would-be trolls to drown out any voice that is counter while teaching the ways of being a dick troll to the useful idiots.

'OANN' are basically 'Russia Times' in America, while 'The Hill' is the same thing, but attacking our country from the left. 80% factual reporting of cheery picked facts that fit the narrative they are trying to sell mixed with 20% lies designed to entice fear and loathing of 'them' attacking Dear Leader.

At one point I did a search on their website for 'papadopoulos' and got nothing and 'butina' and all I got back was a story about how she was being mistreated in prison by the Americans. The owners 3rd wife is also from Russia, which is just a ridiculous coincidence, maybe.

OAN is known for downplaying threats posed to the United States by Russia. According to a former OAN producer, on his first day at OAN he was told, "Yeah, we like Russia here."[10][58] One of OAN's reporters, Kristian Brunovich Rouz, simultaneously works for the Russian propaganda outlet and news agency Sputnik, which is state-owned; when Rouz runs segments on OAN that relate to Russia, OAN does not disclose that he also works for Sputnik.[17]

In September 2019, OAN parent Herring Networks filed suit in federal court in San Diego, California against MSNBC host Rachel Maddow for $10 million after Maddow said the network "literally [is] paid Russian propaganda" on her July 22, 2019 program. Maddow had referenced a Daily Beast story identifying Rouz as also working for Sputnik. Also named in the suit were Comcast, MSNBC and NBCUniversal Media.[59] A hearing on a motion to strike brought by Maddow was originally scheduled for March 2020, but due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic the arguments were moved to May 2020 by Judge Cynthia Bashant.[60]

Russia is actively attacking our nation(and every democracy across the world) using these same trolling propaganda on every online platform available. This needs to be stopped. Trump must go along with enough of these Republicans who have compromised themselves via the NRA, Evangelical, and racist movements here in the United States, for the Democrats to have enough power in DC to have hearings in public without the executive branch spin machine trying to rewrite history.

OANN, propaganda by way of false narrative and fear mongering...
