From Wikipedia

OANN is pro-Trump.[36][69][70][71][30] The father of Charles Herring,[59] Robert Herring Sr., founder and CEO of the network, has ordered producers to promote pro-Trump stories, anti-Clinton stories, and anti-abortion stories and to minimize stories about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.[36] Herring prohibited the network from running stories about polls that did not show Trump in the lead during the 2016 election.[36]

During the 2016 presidential campaign, the channel ran a special titled Betrayal at Benghazi: The Cost of Hillary Clinton's Dereliction and Greed. Herring, the owner of the channel, sent his producers a report that falsely claimed that Hillary Clinton had a brain tumor and asking them to check up on it. He also shared a report with producers claiming that Planned Parenthood had promoted abortion and ordered them to minimize coverage of Pope Francis's US visit owing to the Pope's calls for action on global warming. Herring also repeatedly ordered his producers not to cover stories pertaining to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.[36]

Commentary that the clip on the screen is nutty, false or both.

I’ve never seen them present OAN material as serious, factual news.

With the addition of OAN, it all come full circle & they are no longer trying to pretend there's some moral or ethical seperation between them.

"We will tell you how to think"

J Goebbels, on media as a propaganda tool.
