What Does OANN Mean in a Text?

OANN means "One America News Network."

The abbreviation OANN stands for "One America News Network," a cable TV channel based in San Diego, California, which was launched in 2013.

In November 2020, OANN's YouTube channel was suspended and demonetized for one week, for falsely claiming the existence of a cure for COVID-19.
