2019 is the realization that this show is the President's preferred source of information.

President Trump recently gave a speech, thanking his supporters in the media. Not a single mention of One America News -- one of his GREATEST supporters...
@OANN calls bullshit...

David Hogg, an activist who survived the Parkland, Fla., school shooting, requested on Friday that a photo of his death be publicized if he is ever a victim of gun violence.
Hogg took to Twitter to share a photo of a sticker placed on the back of his ID card, part of a gun violence prevention project requesting that such photos be publicized in the event of one's death.
In the event that I die from gun violence, please publicize the photo of my death, the sticker reads.

In Ukraine, Russia Tests a New Facebook Tactic in Election Tampering
Campaigning for Ukraines presidential election had just begun to heat up when the authorities announced they had thwarted a Russian plot to use Facebook to undermine the vote.
Unlike the 2016 interference in the United States, which centered on fake Facebook pages created by Russians in faraway St. Petersburg, the operation in Ukraine this year had a clever twist. It tried to circumvent Facebooks new safeguards by paying Ukrainian citizens to give a Russian agent access to their personal pages.
In a video confession published by the S.B.U., Ukraines domestic intelligence service, a man it identified as the Russian agent said that he resided in Kiev, Ukraines capital, and that his Russian handlers had ordered him to find people in Ukraine on Facebook who wanted to sell their accounts or temporarily rent them out.
As I learned, said the man, who was not identified by name, their goal was to use those accounts to publish political ads or to plant fake articles.
