  1. ☎️ 📫 ☎️ An Entire List of OANN Stations to Contact ☎️ 📫 ☎️
  2. -------------------------------------------------------------
  3. OANN, or One America News Network is a ultra right wing/ultra nationalist/conspiracy theory spreading TV news network that seeks to divide our country by spreading disinformation about Democrats, liberals and the left. It was initially started a partnership between the Washington Times (not Post) newspaper, which was at the time owned by Sun Myung Moon, the cult leader of the "Moonies" fame, and Robert Harring Sr., who since 2017 has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and Trump loyalists.
  4. https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?cand=&cycle=&employ=&name=robert+herring&order=desc&sort=A&state=CA&zip=
  5. The tech entrepreneur who founded Trump’s go-to TV news network (Reuters) https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-founder/
  6. How AT&T helped build far-right One America News (Reuters) https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-att/
  7. This, and other right wing networks are leading to the political discourse in America and are spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty, an doubt) to it's audience in an attempt make one side of the aisle look as good as possible, while making the other side look as bad as possible. This possesses an existential threat to American democracy as many people are inclined to believe, or actually believe the information being broadcast. My theories include
  8. 1. That this either a network with foreign ties to spread black/white propaganda (not racial, those are the terms for it).
  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_propaganda
  10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_propaganda
  11. 2. They are trying to do everything to discredit and spread so many lies about the Democratic party, they will lose future elections. This a complete violation and abusing free speech to spread lies and falsehoods that are constantly debunked, but the right refuses to believe them.
  12. 3. They are trying to start a 2nd Civil War. With their rhetorical that "liberals, radical leftists, Marxists (they don't seem to know or care about the difference between these groups) are trying to do every evil thing in the book and hopes the audience will pick up the message and work towards dismantling democracy and creating some sort of theocratic or authoritarian government with Trump as their leader. Just take a look at the SPLC's Hate Map of organized militia and hate groups and you will see just how many there are and how they are setup. They are well armed and they want anyone with ideals they consider on the left dead. https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map
  13. What You Can Do
  14. ---------------
  15. If you live in one of the states listed below, call those cable providers and tell them you want OANN off the air. Start a change.org petition (or see if one for this station doesn't exist first - check the bottom of the article first, there are couple that are kind of floundering) and broadcast it. If your state isn't listed below, it's become it wasn't found on OANN's "Where to Watch Website" https://www.oann.com/wheretowatch/. However, that doesn't mean it's still not on all the major corporate networks (which are listed towards the bottom).

  176. MidAtlantic Broadband: 1.866.435.7548
  177. So, that is a list of the local providers offering OANN in each state, as well as through streaming services on the top link. Please note: I have not checked these numbers for accuracy or verification, although I did get the directly off their webste.
  178. But, we also must remember that OANN is carried by the big cable providers such as:
  179. ❌❌❌ - IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT NEITHER XFINITY NOR COMCAST CARRY OANN! THANKS @Tommcc642 ON TWITTER! --- PLEASE IGNORE: Xfinity (Comcast): 1-800-934-6489 or @Xfinity (or even better) @XfinitySupport
  180. -Spectrum/Charter: 855.243.8892 or @getspectrum or @ask_spectrum
  181. -Verizon Fios: 1 (800) 837-4966 or https://www.verizon.com/support/contact-us/ or @verizonfios (or even better) @VerizonSupport

  183. -Suddenlink: 1 (877) 794-2724 or @suddenlink (or even better) @suddenlinkhelp
  184. -AT&T U-Verse: 1-800-288-2020 (AT&T blocked OANN on the other cable network they own, DirecTV, but won't seem to block it on their main service). We also have to remember that AT&T supplied most of the official seed fun for OANN and keeps it funding today. AT&T should be our main target in this fight.
  185. How AT&T helped build far-right One America News (Reuters): https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-att/
  186. Sign the Color of Change Petition Against OANN
  187. AT&T, Stop Funding the Far-Right Channel, One America Network (OAN)! (Color of Change)
  188. https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/att-oan
  189. There are also some small petition on Change.org asking corporate media conglomerates to Divest in OANN:
  190. https://www.change.org/p/at-t-att-divest-from-oan-94d291e5-508f-4dc6-aecc-e43bd4859ee3
  191. Demand Verizon and Xfinity drop Newsmax and OAN
  192. https://www.change.org/p/comcast-demand-verizon-and-xfinity-drop-newsmax-and-oan
  193. Here is one from from MoveOn:
  194. AT&T: Drop white supremacist propaganda One America News from DirecTV!
  195. https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/get-att-to-drop-oan-channel
  196. 🚨🚨🚨 NOTE: These sites WILL sign you up for their mailing lists, so you may want to look into using temporary/diposable/burner email address. https://alternativeto.net/software/spamgourmet/
  197. If you are an AT&T customer, you can file a complaint via this form (even though it says wireless): https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1041856/
  198. Even if you are NOT an AT&T customer I would try and see if you can file one about their continued support for this right wing cess pit and ask them to pull it off their network. I'm not sure what kind of information it asks you though.
  199. You can also file a complaint with the FCC & FTC:
  200. https://broadbandnow.com/guides/how-to-file-fcc-ftc-internet-complaint
  201. FCC Complaints: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
  202. FTC Complaint: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/
  203. Unfortunately, the FCC's scope to look into fraudulent reporting is limited.
  204. https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/complaints-about-broadcast-journalism
  205. Although one of their quotes on their website is "What responsibilities do broadcasters have? Broadcasters may not intentionally distort the news. The FCC states that rigging or slanting the news is a most heinous act against the public interest."
  206. As well as:
  207. "Broadcasting false information that causes substantial 'public harm'
  208. The FCC prohibits broadcasting false information about a crime or a catastrophe if the broadcaster knows the information is false and will cause substantial "public harm" if aired.
  209. FCC rules specifically say that the "public harm must begin immediately, and cause direct and actual damage to property or to the health or safety of the general public, or diversion of law enforcement or other public health and safety authorities from their duties."
  210. Broadcasters may air disclaimers that clearly characterize programming as fiction to avoid violating FCC rules about public harm.
  211. Broadcasting false content during news programming
  212. The FCC is prohibited by law from engaging in censorship or infringing on First Amendment rights of the press. It is, however, illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news, and the FCC may act on complaints if there is documented evidence of such behavior from persons with direct personal knowledge. For more information, please see our consumer guide, Complaints About Broadcast Journalism."
  213. https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/broadcasting-false-information
  214. So, I have no idea how the information broadcast by TV news sources doesn't qualify under this provision.
  215. The @WHO has a guide on how to report fraudulent COVID-19 information: https://www.who.int/campaigns/connecting-the-world-to-combat-coronavirus/how-to-report-misinformation-online
  216. Take action with FAIR & sign up for the mailing list for (Fair & Accuracy in Reporting): https://fair.org/take-action/
  217. Read my article "STOP WATCHING CORPORATE MEDIA! Learn about Bias in Media, Find Better Alternatives Here, Educate Yourself about "Fake News": https://bitbin.it/1ay7EMdC/ and share it right your right leaning friends.
  218. Subscribe to my free Twitter List "Fact Checkers/Hoax Debunkers": https://twitter.com/i/lists/913516433253982210 - If you see something phishy on a social network, it will most likely be there.

  219. Also, follow OANN on their Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts and anytime you seem them post something false or deceptive, be sure and report it and tell all your friends to do the same.
