It’s not far-right

It’s not far-right. 2600:1005:B11E:F984:5C0B:BC7E:7AC7:E5C0 (talk) 22:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Too much bias in this article. You're writing an encyclopedia entry not a fact supported opinion piece. 2600:1700:2191:7E3F:4CEC:4B29:8B6A:B0A5 (talk) 19:48, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What? Slatersteven (talk) 09:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a propaganda article with corroborating opinions, not a true and factual piece. 2600:4040:445D:C200:9852:55AA:BC87:3374 (talk) 12:52, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But based upon facts, the IP said so. Slatersteven (talk) 12:56, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If your definition of "fact" is "propaganda", then yes, it is based upon "facts". 2600:4040:445D:C200:924C:A8DF:576C:FAF7 (talk) 13:17, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor revision to the lead sentence.

Hello, I noticed that the first sentence in the lead describes the network as "pro-Trump."

While I do understand that this description is supported by sources, as it is a news network that covers a variety of topics, it seems overly simplistic to label the network primarily based on its support for one individual. The article's Content section suggests that the network covers a variety of topics beyond politics, including entertainment, crime, and international events.

With this in mind, I suggest the lead be revised to provide a more nuanced and accurate description of the network's coverage (it's general far right influence was already stated prior), For example:

  'One America News Network (OANN), also known as One America News (OAN), is a far-right cable news channel founded by Robert Herring Sr. and owned by Herring Networks, Inc., that launched on July 4, 2013.'

Perhaps the reference to its support for Trump could be placed further down in the lead or to omit it entirely, since the fourth paragraph already provides a detailed summary of this aspect of the network in the lead. Thanks. DS_X1 (talk) 13:06, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We dont, we also point out how they are far-right, which covers much of the rest of their content. Slatersteven (talk) 13:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

news neutrality

What is "a conspiracy therory"? Opinions not liked, or misinformation like what adam schiff claimed about reliable sources connecting Donald Trump to rusiian election interefernce? 2600:4040:7C47:F000:819A:C15:59B7:D673 (talk) 19:47, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See Conspiracy theory. Adam Schiff is a living person. Please do not make accusations against living people without reliable sources. WP:BLP O3000, Ret. (talk) 19:54, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is highly subjective. It demonstrates significant bias based on biased sources. Although a source may be “independent” that doesn’t mean it’s reliable. Instead of “far right” the description should be “conservative leaning”. This networks should receive the same treatment as CNN, MSNBC, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BiffStudley1072 (talk • contribs) 15:20, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, but being RS does, if you do not think any of these sources are reliable take it to wp:rsn. Slatersteven (talk) 15:24, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
