The case against OANN, filed in November 2021, was part of a slew of lawsuits aimed at right-leaning television networks that aired unproven or disproven allegations of voting fraud by attorneys associated with; both of those cases are ongoing, according to court dockets. The voting company’s suit noted that its involvement in the 2020 election was extremely limited, with its technology only being used in Los Angeles County.
While OANN has a significantly smaller viewership than Fox News, the network is still influential in conservative political circles. The network had been viewable in 35 million homes, but that reach diminished after cable companies DirecTV and Verizon Fios dumped the network in 2022.in April 2023 for a staggering $787.5 million. Dominion has also sued Newsmax; that case is expected to go to trial this fall.
