One America News is owned by Herring Networks, Inc. and is slavishly committed to Trump, Trump’s lies (which are legion), and other right wing extremist lies. Clearly, the position they are taking in this is just another red-Herring.

Of course. And the sadder thing is that they’re probably right - this is the most transactionally-manipulable president in history.

I look forward to ONAN (™mattinpa) bringing suit to get a press pass from the next Democratic administration, only to get slapped down when our side presents ONAN’s amicus brief from this suit to the judge.

I hope the lawyers for CNN put in their papers something like, “opposing party, One America Network, (hereinafter referred to as “ONAN”) argue that…”

We are lucky if we get a five minute interview once a quarter.
Well, you aren’t the only lucky ones.

Who is Herring Networks?
From the Post:
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
the channel is available in only about 30 million homes, a far cry from Fox News’s 90 million
Most stories run well under a minute. Almost all of the reports are read by the anchors over video footage provided by the Reuters, Associated Press and Euronews services, as well as by RT
two hours of evening opinion shows — The Daily Ledger with Graham Ledger and Tipping Point with Liz Wheeler — both of which are guns-blazing nightly tributes to Trump
Robert Herring often asked job candidates about their political views, according to seven current and former employees. “He’d flat out ask, ‘Who did you vote for? Are you a Bernie supporter? Are you for abortion?’” one anchor said.
the channel produced and aired a promotional spot that depicted a black police dispatcher refusing to send help to a white caller whose house was under attack
Who funds OAN?
the family has invested “hundreds of millions” in One America
Herrings are skeptical of advertising as a prime revenue source, relying instead on subscriber fees that cable systems pay
“Obviously, they’re not in it for the money, because they’re bleeding money,” said Armstrong Williams, the conservative commentator and TV station owner
Here’s a portion of the table of contents from Wikipedia’s page about OAN:
2 Content
2.1 Pro-Trump content
2.2 Murder of Seth Rich conspiracy theories
2.3 Roy Moore sexual misconduct report controversy
2.4 Conspiracy theory about David Hogg
2.5 Syria chemical attack
2.6 Hiring of far-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec
2.7 False story about Bible ban
Man, this libertarian paradise is so close I can almost taste the casual oppression.

What he did there? Criminy, they pretty much did it themselves. All that our good @mattinpa had to do was pull the trigger, after the fish in the barrel helped him to aim.
What kind of imbecile picks an organization’s acronym like that, just one small typo away from a humiliating self-own?
Oh … right … that kind of imbecile.

And all I was trying to do was class up the joint with a biblical reference.

Reminds me, whatever happened to Rand Paul ? He has been awfully quiet for a long time, he must be up to something…?

Who?
Take their mic away. Oh, wait…
Yeah. I guess I assumed he’s strapped down in a basement somewhere, naked and blindfolded, while one of Putin’s lieutenants indulges in his own darkest fantasies. Probably in front of a camera, because waste not, want not.
