Viewers who tune in to the far-right One America News Network on Friday will see a right-wing pillow impresario’s take on how the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. OAN is airing MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s two-hour disinfomercial on the subject, “Absolute Proof,” four times over the course of the day, making it the bulk of the channel’s programming from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET.
OAN’s credulous airing of a series of deranged election fraud conspiracy theories marks the latest salvo in a fierce competition between OAN and fellow right-wing cable channels Fox News and Newsmax as they vie for Lindell’s affections and his advertising dollars. The networks, which have all been sued or threatened with lawsuits for pushing false claims about the election, are risking additional legal exposure to win the pillow fight.
