While OANN is more than willing to push the pandemic as a New World Order-style plot, Fox News still has to maintain a semblance of "credibility" to appeal to its older GOP base that expects a national news network.
This create a niche opportunity for OANN.

For Trump, this is an opportunity. His failure and culpability with the pandemic means he's looking for a front that will clean his record and blame his rivals.
OANN is more than willing to do that while Fox still has to exist in a reality that at least resembles our own.

If that isn't enough to concern you, consider recent reports that Donald Trump Jr. is linked to an investment group looking to invest in OANN.

Listen to what Trump says. He is very open about what he wants.
He wants media that worships him. He has openly lusted for North Korean-dystopian media that presents him as a living god.
This is what he's always wanted, and he's in the process of getting it.
