=== Anti-Morstaybishlian sentiments ===
OAN NEWS has been accused of peddling Pan-Polynesian ideology and anti-Morstaybishlia sentiments in its reporting. It published an article by professor of politics at the [[University of Tokapa]] and adjunct professor at [[Shiro Academy]], Agnar Motuara in 2021 in which he stated that the Oan Isles should question its diplomatic and economic linkages on [[Great Morstaybishlia]].<ref>Motuara, Agnar (2021). ''Analysis of the Geopolitics of the Oan Isles.'' OAN NEWS. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/oan-news-t3208-s75.html#p200406</ref> While this article was not controversial, it was followed by an article by student activist and member of the National Assembly, Blackfist Iparoha in which they accused Great Morstaybishlia of having an illegitimate claim over the [[Morstaybishlian West PacificCerenerian Territories]] and [[JustelvardJusdelva]], of never having faced the consequences for the slave trade and the [[Morsto-Oan War]] and of exploiting the Oan Isles for political gain.<ref>Iparoha, Waitangi (2021) ''Reassessing the Morsto-Oan relationship.'' OAN NEWS. https://forum.theeastpacific.com/oan-news-t3208-s90.html#p241684</ref> They further accused the Oan royal family and monarchy and government of being complicit in these actions. OAN NEWS was lambasted for encouraging anti-Morstaybishlian rhetoric by Conservatives while others argued it promoted freedom of speech.
 
OAN NEWS was one again in controversy when it published an article stating that the Oan Intelligence Bureau under the direction of foreign minister [[Arana Marama]] submitted a Geopolitical Threat Assessment report which questioned whether Great Morstaybishlia was a viable long-term ally given its allegedly ineffective response to the [[2021 Joralesian attacks]], [[2021 Joralesian riots]], and other crises, structural issues in their economic relationship and Great Morstaybishlia's failure to stand with and support the Oan Isles's diplomatic and strategic objectives.<ref>OAN NEWS (2017). ''SECRET GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT LEAKS: GREAT MORSTAYBISHLIA IS A GEOPOLITICAL PROBLEM FOR THE OAN ISLES!'' https://forum.theeastpacific.com/oan-news-t3208-s90.html#p242570</ref> Arana Marama, herself issued an article denying the accusations, confirming warm relations with Great Morstaybishlia and stating that the Oan government would not sue OAN NEWS, despite claiming that it was in its right to do so (showing the state's reluctance to punish the media).<ref>Marama, Arana (2021). ''Official Communication of the Oan Isles: Response to the article titled "Secret Government Document Leaks" dated 19 February 2021.'' https://forum.theeastpacific.com/oan-news-t3208-s90.html#p242702</ref>
