Imagine Fox News being too mainstream and liberal for you
The imagination boggles
Too moderate*
The fuck did their correspondents smoke?
That's been the trajectory of US conservatism for 40 years. Reagan was considered a right wing extremist in 1980, but most of his policies would be called 'far left' by today's Republican Party. Gingrich was even worse, W/Cheney worse yet, and now Trump even worse than that. This is deliberate, and until the Democratic Party finds its spine and starts fighting for progressive New Deal values and policies again, the march to the reich wing will just continue.
The horror; the horror.
The OAN anchor loses an argument with a still photo of Bernie Sanders. That’s pathetic.
Hahahahaha!!!!!!
The fact that he was struggling to make his point was so sad that it made it difficult to even laugh at how pathetic it was
"Man loses argument to poster." Now that's an article they can run without any "streach" of the truth.
The thing that also gets me about it is that most of those men he mentioned were IMMIGRANTS that came worked, and revolutionized the American landscape. He slams immigrants so hard yet he should fact check himself before he makes a sweeping assumption; especially in a nation built by immigrants.
I thought this was a joke until I got to 6:45 this is hilarious. How does anyone listen to or trust this buffoon?
The irony of a woman working as a reporter talking about how traditional gender roles need to enforced is beyond me

“This aquarium not telling us the gender of a newborn penguin is somehow going to lead to the destruction of the family unit and total dependence on the government” might be the funniest example of the slippery slope fallacy I’ve ever seen, and is the one I will now be using if I ever need to explain that fallacy to someone.
Wow, same

@Jumping Tuna It isn't that strange of a leap when you remember that Conservatives don't care about science.

As an actual employee at the Library of Congress, I can confirm that getting in is not a challenge or anything worth bragging about whatsoever. You just send it in and it's archived for all time. That's it. Lol.
What are some funny things you found in there?
Dominic larratt I’m curious too
Can you literally screenshot this comment and send it over to the library of Congress
Yeah he should have also compared it to I think someone can send in a book about they self published on literally any topic in any condition?
@John Doe I guess it has to be published in some way. Self-published should be enough.
I love how Liz Wheeler talks about breaking down traditional "Gender Roles". Funny several jobs that were considered traditional "Male" gender roles have been taken over by women without dissolving the American family. Like for instance on-air personalities at major news networks.
The classic conservative "what we have now is good and anything new is bad" or for conservatives "old thing good, new thing bad, new thing scary" 😂
Exactly, gender roles were useful back in the less civilized days, but we really don't need them for anything anymore. People who often use tradition as a reason to keep things the same never realise why things are a tradition. At some point in the past something worked, so people did that more often. Then over time the circumstances often change and so that tradition is now kinda worthless. Human blood sacrifices were a tradition for a long time. So was slavery. So was organised religion....oh wait we still have that nevermind.
It’s also hilarious because Penguins don’t have mammalian genitalia. They have cloacas, and a male cloaca is indistinguishable from a female cloaca.
@@kempolar9768 except that traditional western gender roles are a relatively new construct. Many societies had very different gender role, none at all or more than simply male or female. They have never been useful, only opressive
And if they have, maybe they should consider resigning first before talking about it. Oh wait, the Bible says women should be silent, in general! Good ol' American free speech values right there
This episode might need a follow-up after it’s been revealed that AT&T is OAN’s biggest backer.
That’s exactly why I rewatched this hahah just heard about it. The liz wheeler character showed up in a frustrating debate recently
Yeah, that fact clearly was not lost on John Oliver, who had to call out the phone company... Yeah, a lot of things wrong with them, and this is no exception.
This video doesn't make OAN look any worse than the other media outlets. They spread the same amount of nonsense as John Oliver and CNN lol

"One America News" honestly sounds like it came straight out of George Orwell's rough drafts. God I miss the days when people questioned their government and not just the media

Omg that OAN “reporter” is hilarious. “Mr President why are you so awesome and why is everyone else so mean?”
LMAO!!!
Its funny but incredibly stressful since he's giving them so much exposure
OAN reporters: "Oh, Mr President, our great and glorious leader, may i humbly ask for your audience?" Trump: "yes of course OAN, you're always so nice to me. What's your question?" OAN: "Sure, very many people have died in a few months to coronavirus, but people die, lol. I think it's important to ask this - if a tree falls down in the woods and no one is there to hear it, should the extreme left be held accountable for the lonely death of a tree, that very likely could have fallen from overwhelming loneliness caused by the socialist propaganda that is "sOciAL DiStAnCiNg"?" Trump: "... that's a very nice question. Next?"
and that's it.
And those are the only "questions" he'll answer.
As a history nerd I was cringing so hard. Do they not know about the SEVERE human rights violations during the industrial revolution? The lack of a minimum wage? The quality of life of workers during that time? How children as young as four years old were worked to death in factories and coal mines? Workers being locked in to their workplaces without fire escapes? Big oof.
But what about Rockefeller and... uh... um... the other MEN that uh... did MANLY stuff and built this country??? Those were the good 'ole days... Typical liberal... SAD!
They know they simply don't give a fuck. These lunatics are not journalists, they are propaganda peddlers that hide behind the first Amendment.
Yuh. This some Orwellian shit right here.
But all of those men were insanely rich during that time. If they were that rich that means they worked really hard and achieved such wealth through honest means, right? The term "robber barons" came from people who were jealous of their success. Is probably their thought train process on that.
@@juliahanderson6126 Alternatively, "Robber-baron" is a past thing, not a present one. ...wait.

Backpfeifengesichter*, but yes. For those who want to know: "Backe" is fig. for "cheek" and "Pfeifen" is a whistle, so a Backpfeife is a slap so hard on someone's cheek and ear that he only hears a whistle afterwards. "Gesicht" means face.

A frightening thing for me was while at Fort Hunter Liggett helping out with a school trip, their mess hall TVs are a non-stop showing of OAN. No other option. That is what is being force fed to America's service members. As a former Marine, and a current educator, it was very worrisome.

It’s not though, because most of what she said is true. The problem isn’t that she made up a conspiracy, it’s just that she acts like she cracked one open. Yeah, many radical leftists do want babies to be genderless, they’re called gender abolitionists. Yeah, that would get rid of traditional gender roles, which is good, as those are constrictive for no good reason and create toxic masculinity/femininity. That would lead to the dissipation of traditional relationships, which would be good, as humans aren’t evolutionarily inclined to just stick to one partner sexually their whole life. That would lead to the destruction of traditional marriage, which is also good, as that is overly religious, is expensive, (which is proven to end relationships faster.) and often makes the two partners feel the need to stay in a loveless, toxic relationship. That would destroy the TRADITIONAL family unit, which is happening anyways, and wouldn’t leave the child without parents or authority figures, and yeah, it would lead them to maybe depend more on the government, and yeah, liberals want to be the government. As well as conservatives. And republicans. And Democrats. And socialists. And fascists. And anarchists. And monarchists. And libertarians. And everyone.

Had to laugh about how good he explained the german word "Backpfeifengesicht". 😂 Though "Backpfeife" is rather a slap than a hit to the face. 😉
Gesicht means face tho. So it’s “slap-face”
The fact that they use the terms “liberal” and “leftist” interchangeably is pretty funny too
Hello
That's why I prefer to use Ben Shapiro's definitions of those words
@@noahcarroll4944 he has pretty arbitrary definitions that aren't based in history or ideas. It's convenient to make leftist a bad word for him because then he can brand it on his mug
When you stand on the Northpole, everything is south.
I’m a liberal and definitely not a leftist far leftism and far right wing is basically the same shit both are authoritarian regimes that want to be all powerful, maybe one will allow an abortion.
" Don't let transgender penguins fool you.!" That sounds very much like a parody, scarily this is what Americans call News...
There are a few nutjobs in every society unfortunately
The only people who watch them are the far right wing Americans.
To be fair, most Americans laugh at nonsensical statements like that, and do not call it news. Sure, some are happy to lick the boot that's willing to sacrifice millions of human lives to make a few bucks on the stock market, but most of us are more rational than our politicians make us out to be.
I want that on a t-shirt its so ridiculous
A few nut jobs in every society yeah...the problem with this is america had enough of those to get a president elected...
my initial reaction to the joke at 4:03 was just "Wow, that IS a deal!"
Even when I am human , I am an orange duck inside
The party's right, even when it's wrong - that was a very common saying about the Bulgarian Communist Party back when we were under the communist regime.
'The party - the pary is always right' was a well known song in the GDR (German Democratic Republic - Soviet controlled Eastern Germany) back in hte days... Maybe this guy should polish his political compas?
Authoritarian Propaganda is Authoritarian Propaganda regardless of whether it be right or left.
@@robertnett9793 The political compass is a flawed ideology test. When I took it myself online, even the site admitted it had flaws.
Yep. Because their whole base of information is wrong. The information they spew out as well as the information they take in and believe.
Not to excuse it, but the way I heard it the second time was "I may be wrong but we believe the same things..." which is probably comforting to the clueless.
I actually hadn’t heard of this network until last week, after they wrote an article claiming my small town of 30,000 was being “overrun by terrorist antifa radicals” at a BLM protest that was organized in response to several racist remarks made on the part of the mayor. A claim I found particularly odd, because I had watched that protest from my office and I can honestly say that Bingo Night at the retirement center is generally more rowdy.
Well we're talking about a "news" network who's sole target audience seems to be one family of lying narcissistic grifters who actively seek out lackeys who will blow smoke up their asses, in their never ending attempt to avoid facing the reality of their own hate-filled incompetence. So yeah, of course OAN would lie about a BLM protest to fluff Trump's ego...
Oh I heard about this network a few months back, and watched a few clips on their channel. They make Fox News look like a creditable news network.
I had the same story about a town around here.
Never heard of it till now
Yeah, of course that were you found your un-riots from your Bingo thinking mind ...lol! Watch the real news, not CNN SUCKS AND FRIENDS. Independent media for a start, but you're too brainwashed that you couldn't see the forest for the tree, much less the truth if it bit you. Nonetheless, just a suggestion, these are two of my go to sites for rational and intelligent news facts. X22 REPORT RED PILL 78
0:36 The way Trumps calls on OAN is so cool lol
10:35 I'm pretty good at fighting games but if I could chain combos like that they'd need a new EVO category just for me
Jesus Christ, I didn’t think any news network could lose any moral or intellectual high ground to Fox News. Good grief.
And then OAN network made you hold their beer, huh?
@@BrotherKnowledge. 🙄🤣🤣👍🇺🇲
Isn't that similar to what we all said about Bush being the dumbest president we've ever had?
Anytime I think these people have hit rock bottom the fuckers get a shovel and go even lower. How much more debased can the people be? The next news network will be TNN trump nothing network.
@@jeaniebird999 It was a more innocent age of shady oil deals and the rights stripping patriot act.
I’m glad I haven’t heard about OAN up to this moment.
I heard about it, saw 2 minutes, one of commercials, and never turned it back on.
Same. I never imagined they'd be any news channel worse that Fox News, which was the worst one I've heard of thus far, but I guess I was wrong.
I'm glad I stopped watching television 12 years ago.
Heard about it but knew enough to stay away. Glad my father has passed he would be a fan and that would have led to some really sad conversations. His Fox watching was bad enough.
It gained news recently not just because of Trump, but because a Florida commissioner said he'd heard from someone on there that blowing a hair dryer up your nose can kill the Coronavirus. And that OAN is "the new Fox News if you want to know the truth".
2:25 the other reporters' faces are PRICELESS 😂
There must've been a couple of journalists in that Press Room, that wanted to SNATCH that OAN reporter's Press Pass from her, and SHOVE it, DOWN HER CLUELESS PUFF-PIECE THROAT! OAN's Graham Ledger, makes Ted Knight's "Ted Baxter" character, from the "Mary Tyler Moore" show, look like Edward R. Murrow!
John are you going to make a follow up about OAN's funding by your business daddy AT&T?
The faces of the other reporters at the press conferences are priceless.
Indeed. Trump and his regime is the absolute triumph of stupidity and propaganda.
You can feel the discomfort, it’s almost palpable They’re just hearing somebody lying live on television and not getting reprimanded by the president because he likes the way their tongue feels on his obese wrinkly balls
Which says a lot given how the US news media are either serville incompetent or obsessed with Putin controlling everything
and the penguins looked suspiciuosly like they were pulling the same faces at Liz Wheeler's 'argument'! :-D
@@ryancarroll5488 EVERY piece of US News Media? mediabiasfactcheck.com/center/ Mind explaining to me how these THOUSANDS of Unbiased News Media Companies MUST be biased? OAN, btw, rates quite damn poorly on Bias AND not too well on Factuality: mediabiasfactcheck.com/one-america-news-network/ If you believe all News Media outside of Fox and OAN is CNN, MSNBC, CBS and ABC ... that's your own damn fault. There are at least TENS OF THOUSANDS out there. Not my fault you love making Hasty Generalization Fallacies.
Journalists in the WH briefing room faces just say "I went to grad school for this...."
imagine going to grad school to be a journalist.
@@drewwatson7407 Idk if thats something that is common, they all just look like this is a waste of their time.
Some people do journalism with other degrees like in the law.
I love that OAN has made countless response pieces to this and all of them are laughably pathetic.
I need a compilation >.>
Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU! *these are the people in the neighborhood
I remember watching OAN ask whether "Chinese Food" was racist and I couldn't believe that that's what she wasted her question on amidst everything else going on.
well. depending on the actual dish it maybe is racist. just as calling (american) pizza italian food is racist. that stuff should never be called italian, and probably not even food.
The only question that "reporter" is really asking is, "Donnie, which check would you like me to kiss today?"
@@jochenzimmermann5774 . Guess you've never had a decent pizza.
@@ajasen they don't? try looking up 'chinese food syndrome' at wikipedia, you'll get directed here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate_flavoring#Controversy
I think the airhead meant Chinese Flu.
One America News sounds like one of the final steps involved in igniting a modern orwellian nightmare.
That has already been done by many other news sources over the last decade.
News speak for sure.
MegaKootz good job channeling "My Dinner with Andre." I bet you never even heard of that film but now your curiosity will probably lead you to watch it and be enthralled.
We can this MSNBC and their leader is DNC
- that's even better than where I went = Idiocracy.
So what, do you just have to walk into their newsroom with no experience and absolutely no qualifications and they’ll hire you? Because there’s no f&@$ing way anyone at OAN is an actual professional
One of my aunts had a Library of Congress library card when the family was living in D.C.
Is it just me or does "One America News Network" heavily sound like a ficitional propaganda network out of a Cold War movie?
It reminds me of CCCP 1 from Second City Television for some reason.
It totally does
Nope, that was my first thought when that woman spoke. Such leading questions. That's what passes for journalism on that side of the pond?
just like all other news networks that are saying that trump is bad all the time, they are just puppets like the ON and foxnews. there is no free press or whatever, they are both fighting for their masters , the leftists and conservatives
Straight out of 1984, baby...
John Oliver is 100% sitting in his boxers here.
Watch the full episode ;)
How can you be so sure... 🙂
I thought he always filmed that way. If he is at home now why wear the boxers?
I'd be honored if some John Oliver fans who appreciate late 70s/early 80s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire and JUST ONCE by James Ingram & Quincy Jones on my YT channel in tribute to Maurice White and James Ingram, 2 iconic vocalists of that period who recently left us. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace out and stay safe.
well, wouldn't you?
please do a show on timeshares
"Anything can be food if you eat it" 😂😂😂😂
I wish I had the confidence to say "even when I'm wrong, I'm right" to all things. Unfortunately, I have these things called thought process, integrity, and ethics.
My primary school teacher would always tell us "even when I'm wrong, I'm right. Because I'm right about being wrong." I feel this Ledger doesn't have the same reasoning.
I said to my parents when I was about seven year old "even I'm wrong, I'm right. I don't care if I'm wrong". They let me know their slippers.
Am I the only person who has never heard of OAN before now?
Sometimes not knowing some things is blessing.
John Doe 🤣🤣🤣
I subbed to them on youtube because of this video.
Nope. But I am not american so maybe thats why. And I am actually grateful I never heard of them before. Jesus the amount of shittalk they spout. Its like 4chan got a news network.
No.
I love how OAN's twitter tag is an acronym yet has a typo in it. You had one job
Update on this story: AT&T funds them almost entirely. :/
"Don't let bicurious manatees fool you" I won't this time, not again
So, they got you too.
"Never forget"
I don't know where Oliver got the idea from, I'd never try to fool anyone!
Fool me once....
@@jenspedersen6115 fool me twice... you can't get fool again!
