You're not too far off the mark, OANN could never be confused for a polished news source. In many ways they remind me of the old college news stations with someone who can barely read the TelePrompTer and often messes up the pronunciation of a word. However, it beats a panel of talking heads confusing their feelings for legitimate news.


Yes while it has a college news quality to it, the reporting is more reporting than editorial unlike what you find on other channels. I in no way need a group of six people shouting over each other and competing for who can be most outrageous. That is what half the "news" has evolved into.

You'll feel so much better and be much better informed as a result.

I gave up network news in the 90's and all cable news after watching US forces roll into Baghdad - Fox News was going live embedded with the troops. I don't even know where CNN/FOX/MSNBC are on my cable package.

You can better and quicker news on the internet.
