In 2020, as President Donald Trump more loudly voiced his dismay with Fox News, he also increasingly turned to the network’s far-right competitors, One American News Network and Newsmax. And, these outlets showed they are eager to supply Trump and his supporters with a fact-free echo chamber complete with the pro-Trump propaganda that he craves -- along with plenty of conspiracy theories, scams, and more.
Even after a Trump presidency, the race to the bottom among these conservative media outlets for who can capture the attention of the right-wing fever swamps -- -- and what misinformation they’re willing to spread to do it -- bodes poorly for the next 4 years.
