YouTube Suspends Trump-Touted OANN After It Hawks Unproven Cure For COVID | Talking Points Memo

Much to my chagrin, The Onion has become an inferior rival to real news events -and that’s not a shot at The Onion, which is almost always hilarious.

Trump is a *INO, except when * = grifter or equivalent

What do you suppose are the chances that the Biden press shop will yank their credentials?

I’m a sunlight access kind of guy, but you can certainly make the case that OAN is about the farthest thing from a legitimate news organization as one could imagine.

They’re on a par with RT.

“… And second prize is a two-week paid vacation in Philadephia.”

They suddenly realized that most Americans don’t buy into alt-right garbage or even find it amusing.

The very real threat that how Social media monetizes their user data.

If under Biden, Dem House and possible Dem Senate, the US Gov. decides that user collected data is personal and can not be share/profited from, just l like ePHI and HIPAA…Zuck and others just lost their revenue streams and would have to turn their sites into paid membership like Netflix. They would crater and greatly contract.

Between now and Jan 21, there is going to be a lot of fig leaves brought out to cover for their misdeeds so they can stand in front of Congress and proclaim that they are doing something to change.

I believe they are worried about being ‘defanged’. Its a national security risk that a foreigner in the name of Rupert Murdock has the power over this county that he does. This state of affairs has gone on for far too long.

You appear to have mis-keyed “fast-tracked naturalized US citizen” …

I see it as the onanist network. Damn dyslexia!

“Job Creators” bringing fortunes to invest … get fast-tracked, whether there is any formal system in place or not.

I see that as a descriptive rearranging of the acronym.
Their news reporting is little more than reactionary mental masturbation.
