Faux news is no longer enough of a lapdog? You’ve switched to ONAN? “Both Vanity Fair and The Independent in London have said that the channel promotes falsehoods and conspiracy theories. Some sources describe the network as belonging to the far-right.”

It’s admittedly impressive that their briefing after days of delaying still didn’t get the usual bloodlust going in US lawmakers.
Peeps at Faux and ONAN gonna be pulling overtime to come up with rationales and hypotheticals now.

You’re beginning to spiral down Donnie. Even Faux News sees it. Only ONAN (The Network of Jerk Offs) will stoke your ego. Just go away.

Good lord. It looks like they’re doing a thoroughly Britishized version of our “One America News Network” (OANN, which I can never not see as ONAN). Pro tip - occasionally check how many Russians/Belarussians/etc are working there).
