One America News begging liberals to help them

https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/s...92292537880576

Quote:
OAN host makes an urgent plea to liberals to help save the network after Verizon dropped them: “It is absolutely crucial that, for once, we defy the powers that be, we all come together, set aside our differences in a unified effort.”

It's vital that OAN be given a soapbox by Verizon and that anyone mean to OAN be punished or else free speech will collapse.

How odd. The quote

Quote:
“It is absolutely crucial that, for once, we defy the powers that be, we all come together, set aside our differences in a unified effort.”
seems to indicate that OAN normally does NOT defy the powers that be.

Just wondering...

The video cuts off before Fascist Barbie gets to describe her master plan to "save OAN". Any idea what they were suggesting the liberals need to do? Letter-writing campaign to verizon? paying for subscriptions? Adopt a neo-nazi?

I think there's a unified effort among liberals already, to not give a **** if OAN goes off the air permanently.

Gee, the faithful aren't enough support or generous enough to save thier thought process?

To see them go the way of the dodo with Q, Alex Jones and the insurrection supporters is funny.

Well, I think this one is a little different. The dopes you mentioned all got suspended or banned from a platform.

In OAN's case, the businesses just didn't renew their contracts. I would assume because the risk of carrying OAN isn't worth the reward. The big question is what do they really want to be done by liberals? According to them we're all trash and, even if liberals were able to do\did something, OAN would just go back to ******** on them anyway.

Personally, I'm pleased with the outcome. They're the ones that say the market will sort it all out.

Better yet, tell them you prayed for them. According to the Prayer Study, those outcomes are worse.

I said I don't see a moral duty here in agreement with you (while pointing out that I disagree that them being mean to liberals is an issue). It is like a concurring opinion.

I think it's a kind of categorical imperative thing: if you must act at all, you need to act right, even if it does you harm. In this case, it would appear that this rule does not apply because there is no "must act" involved.

At least I think that's what is meant, but being long estranged from theoretical purism, I might have missed something.

I would suspect that if liberals were to be so altruistically silly as to contribute to the maintenance of OAN, the best they could hope for is to be ratted out as hypocrites and gutless closet conservatives.

When you hand someone your gun, don't leave it pointed at you.

This is obviously a Free Speech issue. The Government should force Verizon to broadcast their message. No Wait . . . . . Let me think this through.

Here's their lawsuit against AT&T. They manage to whine about Dominion in there, and there's other CT material.

They filed this just in case the libs don't save them, I guess.

Obviously the proper thing to do is to meet them halfway and agree that half their conspiracy theories are true.

It wasn't mean for liberals. It was just so she can see "see, I tried to reach out to them but they ignored me". She's probably getting screenshots of all the people mocking her on social media.

Why are OAN appealing to liberals? Why aren't they appealing to their target audience of redneck fascist oiks and Donald Trump? Or did they leave OAN in the dirt?

I don't remember any other commercial news network reaching out to ANYONE for money because their bandwidth supplier dumped them.
