This may be the kiss of death, but One America News is my new favorite TV news network.
There are two small miracles to celebrate here. One is that the
Herrings have so far walked the talk about walling off opinion
programming from news. OAN does this largely by licensing its news
content from respected syndicators like Euronews and Reuters (and not

It turns out that there’s plenty of straight, substantive TV journalism
being produced in the world, there just hasn’t been an American cable
station using so much of it before. Better still, OAN resists cheap
shots. A piece about states enacting renewable energy standards to
reduce America’s dependence on fossil fuel does not shoehorn climate
change denial into the story; coverage of the end of the Obama family
vacation doesn’t rag him for playing golf;
