No story about Biden winning the election on OANN

It's surely just an oversight, but OANN doesn't appear to be running a story on Joe Biden becoming the 46th President of the United States.

I see a story about Trump supporters protesting in the battleground states. Then there is that gem about the media calling the election too quickly (boy it didn't seem like it LOL!)

But oddly no story about Biden's victory yesterday and the worldwide celebrations which ensued. Maybe it's user error on my part with that search box?? The interwebs can be a bit confounding for us old-timers at times LOL!

Hmm. What is to become of people who rely on OANN as their primary source of information? I fear they could end up like those Japanese soldiers still fighting WWII after it was all over.

Will never accept this election as legitimate. They think God will prevail over Satan and give Trump the win. Some of these people I have known all my life. I can't get over how they can still hang on to this belief. Can I ever be friends with people who have called me a baby killer or a communist?

The conservative news movement with their alternative facts are the proverbial frogs in the boiling water right now. Trump has been the master of turning up the temperature ever so slowly. But now he has turned it up all the way as a desperation move.

The correct way to attack these absurd positions is not through respectful debate as you need mutual respect for that. The best attack plan right now, with them on their heels and showing their asses, is through mockery.
