grOANN (One America News Network or OANN nickname)

One America News Network (OAN or OANN) was founded in 2013. Some critics have dubbed the network “grOANN” (like the word “groan”).
       
“grOANN is the worst. They make Fox looked fair & balanced” was posted on Twitter by Michael K. Ferrante on October 20, 2017. “You mean #GROANN, the news channel for those who find Fox News too intellectually challenging?” was posted on Twitter by Virgil Caine on November 3, 2018. “Am I the only one who sees OANN and thinks GROANN?” was posted on Twitter by EngageAdvocateVOTE on November 1, 2019. “OANN = grOANN” was posted on Twitter by Dr. J on November 30, 2020.
   
Other OANN nicknames include “OANonsense,” “ONAN,” “One America Nonsense Network” and “Only Assholes News Network.”

Saw one of their idiot reporters (Chanel Rion, good GAWD, what the hell is her actual given name?) doing the verbal equivalent of kissing Trump’s ass at a presser. More nuts and flakes on that channel than a box of Raisin Bran…..
