Do you have four minutes to get a glimpse into one source of information for a lot of Americans? Here is a clip from One America News Network. They describe themselves as "owned by Herring Networks, Inc. Herring Networks, Inc.... a family owned and operated, independent media company focused on providing high quality national television programming to consumers via its national cable networks. The for-profit company was established in 2004 and has its primary production operations in California and Washington, DC."
The main page of their website has pieces on slow mail for Christmas, buttons for sports and entertainment– the sorts of things we expect from the news, and everything has pretty high production values. The video clip I watched is this:

An attractive, dark eyed young woman with a cityscape and a Christmas tree for a backdrop introduces a short interview between two white men in suits talking about the Supreme Court decision (that was decided a day ago). The guys sound smart and talk about how the SCOTUS decision (remember, already decided yesterday) is going to throw the presidential election into the House of Representatives because it is highly unlikely either candidate will get 270 electoral college votes. For support of this opinion, there are video clips of people who seem to be counting votes and voting, and lots of innuendo about illegal and improper voting.
Everything looks very much like network news and high end cable news.
