According to a new report, multiple staffers at the right wing media outlet One America News (OAN) recently walked out of the studio to avoid having to take part in a pro-Trump rap video with MAGA rapper Forgiato Blow. The staffers said that the host of the show featuring Blow that evening, Dan Ball, didn’t alert them to the plans to actually film a video during the segment, and they now say that they want to leave the propaganda network for good. Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Recently, unbeknownst to the employees at One America News Network, they had been signed up, I guess to appear in a music video for MAGA recording artist for Gelato Blow. Now, in case you’re not familiar with this guy, he has uh, put out some songs in the last year or so. He did one praising Matt Gaetz. Uh, two months ago he put one out praising Marjorie Taylor Greene and now he’s got a new song out, uh, trashing the indictments against Donald Trump. And he recently appeared on Prime Time on One America with host, uh, Dan Ball, and they filmed a music video during his segment, like Live on the Air, just filmed a music video. And according to reports, once this was revealed to the staffers, multiple staffers at one America decided they had officially had enough and walked out. Now, they didn’t quit their jobs completely, they just didn’t want to take part in this ridiculous weird music video.
So they walked outta the studio while it was being recorded, and of course came right back to their jobs. According to the report, other employees who were kind of blindsided by it just decided to go along with it and listen to this weirdo rap about Hillary Clinton and C n n and how much the indictments against Donald Trump are just bull crap. But it’s the ones who walked out that really stand out to me because in interviews with The Daily Beast, here is what some of those staffers had to say. Um, one of them said, I need to leave own one American News asap. I am sick and tired of Dan Ball’s antics and so are so many others behind the scenes. Um, other current and former staffers called the Video Bizarre and said they were quote, officially taking One America News off my resume after watching this.
Now here’s the thing for those staffers, like, okay, you didn’t wanna be a part of the music video. Great. You walked out way to take a stand, but then you went right back to your job at the right wing propaganda network. I mean, let’s face it like, oh, I’m taking own off my resume. Yeah, you should have already done that. It’s not like putting that on your resume is going to help get you a job anywhere else. Like, oh, I see you worked at One America. Well welcome aboard then. No, nobody is going to be impressed with that on your resume. Why are y’all even there? I mean, do you really need a job that badly? Like I could understand, you know, if you are working at one of the major cable outlets, yeah, good job, good benefits, maybe even Newsmax, right? Not quite on the upper echelon of some of these other places, but y’all are working for One America. I mean, come on, that’s like a step above working in a fast food joint that doesn’t get any customers, but to each their own,
Right? You’ve got jobs, but you don’t get to complain about working at a propaganda outlet because you knew that’s what it was. Going into it. I get you don’t like your job. I get that there’s weird things happening, but there’s lots of weird things happening in the Republican party. And if you’re making the conscious choice to be a part of the propaganda, then you really don’t have room to complain. If you don’t like it, leave, go find another job there. There’s a lot of media outlets out there. There’s independent media outlets, places that’ll probably treat you better where you don’t have to deer deal with the weird and ridiculous things that are going on over at One America. But outside of that, just be prepared because your network has gone all in for Donald Trump. It’s gone all in for the MAGA movement and your network, because of that, is going to rise and fall with that MAGA movement. And I gotta tell you, it looks like that movement is crashing to the ground right now. So you can either choose to stay on the Titanic or you can start heading for those lifeboats as quickly as possible.
