I saw some of OANN's coverage of the election and it was just endless exaggerated bullshit. They took every real concern people had, spun it into flat Earth and aliens level nonsense and aired that endlessly.

They are obviously controlled opposition, meant to mislead people who question the narrative into going off the insane deep end to never be taken seriously.

This controlled opposition, along with Newsmax, likely another, whom generally fit a more toned down version of the same, both settled out of court, secretly, and did not have their entire company's internal communications wrongly leaked to the public, like was done to Fox News.

Instead of making insanely exaggerated false statements as if they were facts, like OANN, Fox News simply covered the newsworthy statements of others, which is normally protected journalism. They had zero case against Fox News and if it weren't for how corruptly weaponized the trial was, I would blame them for the huge damages done to protections of journalism and free speech they made by not fighting their case. Yet, they were lambasted by the corrupt shenanigans of the activist Judge, whom effectively made a summary judgement and was only going to have the jury decide the damages.
