Did you read the article?
Yes.

I'm 100% certain the proof put forward by MSNBC against OANN will backfire in their faces.

Is OANN trash - yes. Are they racist - yes. But now you have to prove in a court of law the academic definition of russian state propaganda outlet. It's not proving a bias. It's not proving mutual goals. You have to prove that OANN is RT.

Good luck.

Good luck.

You're not following

"The Complaint alleges that Comcast refused to carry OAN as part of its cable programming because OAN counters the liberal politics of its own channel, MSNBC".

"OAN’s business and reputation because OAN, unlike MSNBC, presents a conservative viewpoint; and that OAN was targeted in retaliation for calling out Defendants for their anti-competitive censorship in refusing to carry OAN on its cable system".



Yeah, good luck to OAN.

What are you getting at here? That's in the OP.

What proof do you have that they are a state propaganda outlet outside of being a bunch of wacknut white people? At no point have you defined it or differentiated OAN from RT or Al Jazeera.

OAN has to prove that...



They have writer(s) who work for Sputnik or RT besides that I honestly don't know, haven't followed the situation but I know OAN is absolute garbage and pushed propaganda some of which is the same shyt the Kremlin and their bots push. Guess it could all be a big coincidence? Like Manafort and etc.

Yea y’all might be laughing at maddow but she did a deep dive into all of trumps fukkery and what Russia was up to (which was uncovered by our intelligence agencies)helped everyone understand it better instead of putting a 10 person panel like cnn to argue about bullshyt or tucker Carlson blabbing racist shyt on a nightly basis. Plus she always gives updates on local races. She did that constantly last year in the lead up to the blue wave.

Just because mueller was too p*ssy to pull the trigger because of a “DOJ memo” don’t mean y’all gotta drag her :stopitslime:

She relentlessly pushed a false narrative for years. If MSNBC had any integrity, they would investigate how they got it so wrong for so long and clean house.

She highlighted info that supported her theory and ignored things that didn't. So no, getting the left riled up that there was a direct link between Trump/Russia or that there was any chance to impeach him was very counter-productive. When the Mueller investigation started she just should have I don't know, WAITED for the findings instead of trying to do his job by making great leaps in logic in the meantime. Now you got Lawrence O'Donnell not realizing they moved on from assuming stuff and having to apologize to the president and Maddow losing 600K of her viewers since the Mueller report was a fart in the wind. And this law suit. She messed up.

"It’s been more than a year since MSNBC’s star host Rachel Maddow beat Fox News Channel’s top-rated host Sean Hannity to take the title most-watched host in all of cable news. At the time, March 2018, The Rachel Maddow Show finished in first place with an average total audience of 3.058 million viewers—the show’s best-ever performance in the 9 p.m. ET hour. . . But ratings data released Tuesday by Nielsen show MSNBC’s surge has slowed, with Maddow slipping into fifth place overall with a total audience of 2.487 million viewers, behind Hannity (3.332 million), Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.145 million), The Ingraham Angle (2.591 million) and The Five (2.503 million)."

Trump is damn near literally sucking Russian dikk at times and boys in here talking about her pushing a "false narrative"
Clowns like that is the reason the US is a 1st world shythole
Sucking Russian dyck (whatever that means) is not equal to colluding with them to steal an election.
I think income inequality has more to do with the state of the country not unproven theories about what Rachel thought happened.
