OANN
No, Tom, I'd never heard of OAN. I do have Verizon FIOS, so I
immediately dialed in 116. I saw what appeared to be a BBC style news program; rapid fire
news being delivered by news readers;
deadpan expressions; no
voice inflection editorializing. Below are the news
topics covered for 20 minutes and 20 seconds, beginning at 7:39 AM 0n
April 21, 2014.

At one point a news reader advised, "Remember, if you see any area of the news
that is not being covered, contact us at ... ."
Here's what The
Daily Beast has to say.
“The
news used to be you would confirm your source multiple times, you would
report the fact, and you would leave it up to the viewer to determine
what we should or should not do. That is missing,” he (founder Charles
Herring) said.
Soon Rupert
Murdoch’s behemoth won’t be the only conservative cable news station
around, the founder of One America News Network, set to be unveiled at
CPAC today, tells David Freedlander.
A new right-wing news and talk station is coming to cable boxes later
this year, The Daily Beast has learned.[...]
One America News Network, on the other hand, has a two-tier mission:
providing opinion-free straight news reporting and right-leaning talk
shows.
I'll
let this commenter to the Beast column sum up.
Thanks Tom
