OAN Loses Breach Of Contract Case Against AT&T In CA, Refiles It In DC As Tort Suit https://abovethelaw.com/2023/02/oan-loses-breach-of-contract-case-against-att-in-ca-refiles-it-in-dc-as-tort-suit/ Here on Planet Earth, DirecTV didn’t need “legally adequate justification” to drop #OAN — it was perfectly entitled to decline to renew the Affiliation Agreement. #MAGAlies #FakeNews None of this is “law” although it is taking place in federal and state courts. This is craziness on par with the time OAN host Chanel Rion claimed that George Soros was personally tailing her & Rudy Giuliani

How AT&T helped build far-right One America News

OAN founder and chief executive Robert Herring Sr has testified that the inspiration to launch OAN in 2013 came from AT&T executives.

“They told us they wanted a conservative network,” Herring said during a 2019 deposition seen by Reuters. “They only had one, which was Fox News, and they had seven others on the other [leftwing] side. When they said that, I jumped to it and built one.”

Since then, AT&T has been a crucial source of funds flowing into OAN, providing tens of millions of dollars in revenue, court records show. Ninety percent of OAN’s revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV, according to 2020 sworn testimony by an OAN accountant.

.@realDonaldTrump@twitter.com once sued for defamation ($5b) & lost. @FoxNews@twitter.com #OAN & @newsmax@twitter.com all apologized on air re: election fraud allegations by #DominionVotingSystems. Now they're suing @SidneyPowell1@twitter.com for over $1b. #MAGA cheered cause now they'll get "discovery".

Good luck all around.
