The other reason OANN may have added this disclaimer is because Lindell's "Absolute Proof" video is replete with widely discredited claims about voter fraud and should not, as stated in the disclaimer, be interpreted as established fact. To the contrary, we warned them specifically and in writing that they would be broadcasting false and defamatory statements of fact if they broadcast the program, and they made the affirmative decision to disregarded that warning and broadcast it anyway. “Nice try” by OAN, but it definitely does not relieve them of liability. Tom Clare, a lawyer for Dominion, told Mother Jones that this disclaimer would not spare the network from a lawsuit: OANN likely ran this disclaimer for two reasons: First, in the days following the 2020 presidential election, Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems filed lawsuits against various people and news networks for falsely reporting that their companies were involved with voter fraud.
