One of President Trump’s favorite media outlets has been busted for spouting fake news. One America News Network, the ultraconservative cable channel that has floated conspiracy theories about how Trump lost the 2020 election, has been banned from YouTube for one week for violating the company’s coronavirus-misinformation policy. YouTube has confirmed the suspension. “Since early in the pandemic, we’ve worked to prevent the spread of harmful misinformation associated with COVID-19 on YouTube,” read a company statement. “After careful review, we removed a video from OANN and issued a strike on the channel for violating our COVID-19 misinformation policy, which prohibits content claiming there’s a guaranteed cure.” YouTube added that OANN has also been demonetized during the suspension and had been suspended from its partner program. YouTube employs a three-strikes policy before it removes an account. OANN cannot upload videos or upload new livestreams for a week, reported BBC News. To once again monetize its videos, the network must reapply to the partner program and fix the problems that caused the suspension. YouTube does not have a policy prohibiting false election claims and it previously refused to take down an OANN video falsely claiming Trump had won the 2020 election. The video was uploaded on Nov. 4 — three days before official news sources called the race for Biden, reported CBS News. YouTube has targeted other misinformation purveyors such as QAnon and Pizzagate accounts.

Although smaller in stature and viewership than Fox News, Trump has lauded OANN for its segments promoting outlandish voter-fraud and voter-machine-rigging conspiracy theories.
