OANN Embarrasses Itself again

Propaganda Outlet OANN Yanks Pro-Trump Poll For Being TOO STUPID, EVEN FOR THEM

Apparently OANN had promised to provide a poll showing the "fake news" polls were incorrect and that Trump was actually beating Biden.
Except OOOPSIE, shortly after the story about the promised polling "in favor of @realDonaldTrump" aired, the story was abruptly yanked from YouTube for being ... rather less "in favor" than promised.

Writer Arieh Kovler was watching the video while it was taken down and managed to film a cached version from his browser.

Can we call that OANNanism?
