Remember the good old days when Fox News was considered “conservative” and was called an arm of Russia for propaganda? Things are changing as Rachel Maddow, NBC and Comcast are being sued for defamation and for $10 million because Maddow called OANN a Russian state propaganda outlet back in July. This is what happens when Fox News goes down the tubes. Other news outlets like OANN become more popular and get labeled “Russian propaganda” by the left wing media. Here’s hoping OANN is successful in their lawsuit.

One America News Network (OANN) filed a $10 million defamation lawsuit Monday against MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
OANN is suing Maddow, MSNBC, Comcast Corporation and NBC Universal for defamation, alleging Maddow “maliciously and recklessly” went after the network by suggesting it is a Russian state propaganda outlet, the complaint reads, according to Law and Crime. Maddow said that OANN “really, literally is Russian propaganda” on “The Rachel Maddow Show” in July.
Maddow’s comment was based on The Daily Beast article stating OANN’s Kristian Rouz is a “Russian national on the payroll of the Kremlin’s official propaganda outlet, Sputnik.” OANN demanded retraction from The Daily Beast reporter and Maddow on July 29.
“This is vile, sensationalistic reporting,” OANN’s lawyer, Skip Miller, said according to a previous press release. “These defamatory statements must be retracted immediately. One America News Network has no connection to the Russian government or any other government — no connection whatsoever, financial or otherwise.”
