Employees of the cable network One America News do not believe all of the claims that are aired on it, according to a report by The New York Times.

According to the Sunday report, about a dozen staffers have left the network since the January 6 riot at the US Capitol, which left five people dead. The network for months aired, repeated, and speculated on former President Donald Trump's false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election.

There is no evidence to suggest any substantial fraud influenced the election. President Joe Biden won the election by beating Trump in key battleground states.

"Many people have raised concerns," Allysia Britton, a news producer who recently left the network, told The New York Times. "And the thing is, when people speak up about anything, you will get in trouble."



Thoughts? Apparently workers don't like working for a media company that supports insurrection.

Good, they were always free to leave. Also your source is fake news. Five people did not die in an insurrection. One innocent woman was shot by police during the electoral justice protest

Violently breaking into our nation's capital building as part of a mob makes her explicitly guilty. There's no country in the world where you won't be shot for doing what she did. Even more hilarious, you adore Putin who kills people who criticize him, so stop pretending you care about protecting innocent people.

When did entering open doors being escorted and wave by police officers become an act of violence?

Ok, let's try it a different way, let's call her a critic of the government, so we enacted the Putin style justice you want for America and had her murdered. That was the good Christian thing to do, right? What's the matter, you only wanted the murders for your political opposition and not your own group right?

So it is not an active violence if a police officer let you in to a public building paid for with taxpayer dollars? The political bargain as is understood in Russia is not relevant to this discussion. If you live in an authoritarian country, you should at least be able to know that ahead of time so you know how to stay off the radar. In an alleged liberal democracy someone should not be shot for being in a building owned by the public.

Except you don't want to live in a liberal democracy, you explicitly state you want to live in an authoritarian country, so just pretend this is one then you'll be glad she got a bullet. There is no country in the world where you won't get shot for doing what she did. You passionately defend every cop that blasts an unarmed black person on the street, so you don't get to pretend you suddenly value human life, you don't. Pretend she was black then maybe you'll be more accepting of it.

Really you think she would’ve been shot in Iceland for trying to climb through a window while unarmed?

As part of a mob in their parliament building? Absolutely. I guess we'll never find out because Iceland doesn't have a treasonous dumb **** political faction within their country.

Like I said, why don't you just pretend this is a brutal authoritarian dictatorship simulator or that she was black, then you'll be snug as a bug in a rug.

what makes you believe that?

There are many blacks who’ve protested things far more aggressively and with more violence and not had deadly force used against them. There was no “whiff of grapeshot” against BLM. The police were not machine gunning Floyd rioters like the Securitatae. So your fake racial comparison is obviously wrong.

Can you name any black rioters that broke into our nation's capital building looking to attack members of congress who weren't shot? Just give an example of that. Like I said, you cheer and defend cops when they blast innocent and unarmed black people at traffic stops, so you pretending to care about human life is just too ridiculous and unbelievable.

No one broke into the capital building threatening to attack members of congress. That is why many of the videos were suppressed by big tech unless they were edited to remove context.

I can’t find the big photo of the arrests made of capitol electoral justice protestors, a sizable minority were non-white. The only one shot was white. So your argument fails on its own terms. If as few as one electoral justice protester was black then the one incident disproves your thesis.

You keep making claims w/o any support by evidence of fact, then morph into another unsupported claim when repudiated, all based on false assumption, while you constantly question, based on unfounded assumption, the responding poster. You're not debating forthrightly but running away from substantive debate, that can be discerned and weighed by evidence of fact, to either substantiate or refute a given claim. All you have to offer is misinformation and disinformation without enough discernable fact to even link enough words together into sensible or intelligible syntax.

Do you need some croutons to go along with that word salad?

Calling it a big lie demonstrates bias in the media. A fair and balanced press would have called it a contested election time until it was resolved.

In what country on earth can a violent mob of insurrectionists storm that nation's capital and not face potentially deadly force? You describe this event as though the entire world did not watch it live as it happened.

This woman was obviously very disturbed. If you actually gave a damn about her life, you would be angry at the former president and his allies in congress that spent 2 months lying to this disturbed woman. Had Trump not spent 2 months lying to her about the election, she would be alive today.

They were not violent. No acts of violence were committed other than a handful of scuffles which were provoked. The only serious violence was carried out by capitol police against an unarmed woman not threatening any force. Of course in your mind a black can be a convicted felon career criminal pulling guns on cops and will somehow be the victim of police violence, but unarmed woman who just has different political beliefs can be terminated in your mind.

In any event the full videos of the incident show most people being allowed in the door by uniformed cops, interacting peaceably with cops, taking selfies and pulling stunts. This wasn’t the beerhall Putsch by any stretch.

You're living in an alternate reality if you believe that pile of garbage.

- At least two people were carrying flex strips to tie up members of Congress.
- At least one person carried a 50 KV cattle prod into Nancy Pelosi's office, and wrote her a note saying they'll be back.
- At least one person beat a USCP officer with a flag pole.
- At least one person threw a fire extinguisher at another USCP officer.
- Several people were armed with baseball bats.
- Several people were armed with bear spray.
- An angry mob nearly crushed a USCP officer to death in a doorway. One person tore at his gas mask and bloodied his face as he was screaming.
- A trunk full of molotov cocktails was found nearby.
- Pipe bombs were planted at both the RNC and DNC headquarters.
- An "Quick Reaction Force" with an arsenal of guns and other weapons was standing by just across the Potomac river.
- The "unarmed woman not threatening any force", as you describe, was attempting to climb through a broken window to access an area where members of Congress were sheltering in place out of safety and fear for their lives.

This is all documented and undisputed. Most of it is on camera. Not violent my ass. Get a damn clue man. You should be embarrassed trying to pass that crap off as sincere and truthful.

Nearly all of this is either not true, or you inferring intent that you have no proof for.
