OAN forced to walk back baseless claims of Georgia election fraud – By Ja’han Jones (MSNBC) / May 10, 2022
The pro-Trump network aired a segment effectively admitting its claims of widespread election fraud were false.
One America News, the right-wing, conspiratorial news outlet, has found itself in all sorts of legal trouble since helping spread baseless allegations of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
The network walked back some of their most outlandish claims weeks after the election, including false reports of fraudulent voting machines. But it looks like OAN isn’t done repenting for its misinformation campaign. The network ran a 30-second segment on Monday admitting there was “no widespread voter fraud” by poll workers in Georgia during the 2020 election, The Daily Beast reported.
The airing of the segment followed a settlement between the outlet and two Black election workers — Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss — who were targeted by right-wingers with baseless allegations of cheating to help President Joe Biden win Georgia in 2020.
