    Robert Herring blames Verizon's decision to drop OAN on a secret
    conspiracy to censor his network, defends ivermectin coverage

    PEARSON SHARP (REPORTER): As One America News fights against fake
    news, the fake news fights back. On July 30, the telecommunications
    giant Verizon decides that it will terminate its contract with One
    America News, shutting the door on over 17 years of history
    together. Now, apparently, Verizon has been telling their customers
    that OAN refused to cooperate and we just wouldn't work with them on a
    deal, basically blaming us for not renewing the contract. But that is
    a flat-out lie. And here to explain what really happened is the
    founder and owner of One America News, Robert Herring.

    I've never met Robert Herring, nor have I ever seen any program from
    "One America News." I published this story lede because the story
    describes wild accusations against Verizon, and is therefore in the David_probably_gets_his_arse_kicked_by_Goliath category.
