turns out AT&T virtually created OAN and provides it with nearly all its revenue reuters.com/investigates/s…
"Ninety percent of OAN’s revenue came from a contract with AT&T-owned television platforms, including satellite broadcaster DirecTV" reuters.com/investigates/s…
some OAN lunatic viewer from California sent a death threat to the Colorado Secretary of State (?) 
OAN founder in a court deposition: @ATT "told us … they wanted a conservative network." reuters.com/investigates/s…
@ATT OAN guy said in a sworn affidavit that @ATT asked him for lobbying help getting a merger with DirecTV past the FCC in return for carrying his channels. pay for play!
at a minimum this news should prompt a review of the Obama admin decision to approve the AT&T/DirecTV merger, and in general aggressive media anti-trust
