마지막 주요 통신사, 극우 OAN 네트워크 중단

어제 Verizon Fios는 7월 말에 현재 계약이 만료되면 극우 One America News Network(OANN)를 채널 라인업에서 제외할 것이라고 발표했습니다. 이 조치로 인해 논란이 많은 이 매체는 주요 통신사가 없게 되었습니다. OANN은 시청자에게 COVID-19 팬데믹, 2020년 선거 결과, 1월 6일 미국 국회의사당 공격에 대한 거짓되고 오해의 소지가 있는 정보를 포함한 허위 정보와 음모론을 정기적으로 제공합니다.

Yesterday, Verizon Fios announced that it will drop far-right One America News Network (OANN) from its channel lineup when its current contract expires at the end of July. The move leaves the highly controversial outlet without a major carrier. OANN regularly feeds its viewers disinformation and conspiracy theories – including false and misleading information about the COVID-19 pandemic, the results of the 2020 election, and the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Common Cause and a coalition of civil-rights, human-rights and media-justice organizations have pushed the major carriers to drop OANN since 2021. Last year, the coalition organized a 편지 to the CEOs of AT&T and DirecTV urging their companies to sever business ties with the network. After more than 170,000 people signed a petition calling on AT&T and DirecTV to cut all ties with OANN.  DirecTV dropped the channel from its lineup later that month.

When the Verizon contract expires at the end of this month OANN will only be available through a variety of smaller pay-tv providers and streaming services.

With the move by Verizon Fios, One America News Network will be left without a major carrier to spread its often harmful and dangerous disinformation and baseless conspiracy theories. This is a welcome change but long overdue.

OANN has spread lies that have hindered U.S. efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, undermined Americans’ faith in our elections, and fed the Big Lie narrative that led to a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

We hope those remaining small pay-tv providers and streaming services still carrying OANN will follow suit and deprive the outlet of any platform to spread harmful conspiracy theories that have done real world harm. No company should profit from spreading content that endangers our democracy.
