Apparently, openly bigoted, anti-science, Trump cheerleading, and overall anti-democratic rhetoric is no longer welcome on prime time... well, at least one particular station is. Verizon Fios announced late Thursday they are dropping One America News. Ever the gentleman, the last major TV carrier for the beacon of media bigotry said that negotiations were "business as usual."

In a statement provided to Gizmodo, Verizon said that come July 31, OAN will be removed from the network's Fios TV slate. The contract with Herring Networks, which owns OAN, is set to expire July 30.

Earlier this year, DirecTV announced they were also dropping the channel, but that came after years of wrangling and OAN even suing the network to keep itself available back in 2017, and the telecom company was forced to continue airing One America News' right wing screeds as part of a settlement. That's not to mention that last year reports showed that One America News was almost entirely funded by AT&T, which had previously owned DirecTV.

OAN was never picked up by other major providers. After they were dropped by DirectTV, the news site NextTV reported that OAN had less than 5 million remaining paying TV subscribers, and was barely making $550,000 a month that mostly came from Verizon.

"Overall, we rate One America News questionable based on far-right bias, lack of sourcing, promotion of conspiracy theories,
and propaganda, as well as numerous failed fact checks. OAN is not a credible news source."
