OAN is not really all that different from Fox, where Jesse Watters gleefully spreads manure on the air. Via the Daily Beast: Far-right cable news network One America News apologized to Donald Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen Monday after retracting a report that suggested he—rather than Trump himself—had been the one who carried out an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels.
