It was not OANN that falsely claimed that white supremacists were responsible for the rioting in Minneapolis, nor was it OANN that attempted to conflate rioters with peaceful protesters in order to cover for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given these major failures of journalism and the fact that the case of the Buffalo protester is actually fairly suspicious, it\u2019s ridiculous to protest OANN when other outlets are doing far more damage and above all getting away with it. CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, and Vox have yet to receive any pushback for claiming that protests were peaceful while Minneapolis was burning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One America News Network has not proven to be wrong, while mainstream media outlets have consistently lied to advance their agenda. They are far more deserving of ire and should be protested, not OANN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/146269332@N03\/48093598351\/in\/photolist-2ggSgez-2dvaRix-24hvs32-2dN2mB7-Mtae69-2dDS7N1-7km8dV-J1PQFb-8cQoj7-8cQorG-NBczVt-avzQEM-7GT5YQ-2w2ws-4ryvvD-cfuWhh-fDQMmo-aztvtR-aFyrht-6rWZa-rMtFd-6boCx9-Gj8sxH-2fxNVV2-WATzHX-2h9YN1x-HfcRiL-XXt7T1-27qtRRy-XPF5pg-K6FbEG-2ibdbt8-2a5CfPj-7U4hHR-26JHAa7-nvRwa8-6ECErT-bBB6ZA-aCdbC7-74YWhh-effmU-QjFs-E63T-SUSXAL-effjC-MqH3if-NeGNdN-Rf3Jhr-2ibdbyJ-25puDLJ\">Photo by Trending Topics 2019 via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Nicholas Vetrisek On Saturday, protesters gathered to boycott One America News Network (OANN).
