Move over Fox News. OAN and CBN offer US conservatives an alternative

This appeared in The Millennial Source

Though Fox News is the leading conservative news source in the United States, both One America News Network (OAN) and Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) are quickly emerging as alternatives.

OAN is more right-wing than Fox News and has been called President Donald Trump’s favorite news network. OAN’s profile has increased as its journalists have been invited to press briefings of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.

Alternatively, evangelical Christians receive news from an conservative Christian point of view with CBN, a network with roots going back to the 1960s. Both networks have helped to provide additional sources for right-leaning news to conservatives in the US, a category long dominated solely by Fox.

Trump’s “favorite news network”

OAN launched in 2013 as a collaboration between the center-right newspaper The Washington Times and the San Diego-based Herring Broadcasting.
