Janine Jackson interviewed Media Matters’ Bobby Lewis about AT&T and OAN for the October 15, 2021, episode of CounterSpin. “They told us they wanted a conservative network,” OAN founder Robert Herring stated in a deposition Reuters saw. And the person said in court, without the deal with DirecTV, which AT&T owns, OAN’s network value would be zero. It sort of sounds as though without AT&T, OAN might not be there. For me, that was the overall takeaway of the first part of the Reuters report, is that, like you said, like, OAN would not and could not exist without AT&T’s blessing.
