How AT&T helped build far-right One America News

One America News, the far-right network whose fortunes and viewership rose amid the triumph and tumult of the Trump administration, has flourished with support from a surprising source: AT&T Inc, the world's largest communications company.

AT&T funds OAN.

OAN funded the AZ fraudit.

So by extension AT&T is funding anti-democracy initiatives. 

Do better AT&T.
