Newsmax...how to turn a rating bonanza into 15 mins of fame.

Posted on 02/28/2021 6:05:45 PM PST by BuckeyeGOP

I was watching the post-Trump speech analysis on Newsmax this evening. After playing the portion of Trump's speech where he talked about the election night debacle, the host had to take a moment to read a statement that Newsmax believes the election results to be accurate and to remind us that election results were legally certified.

Why??? It's not like they had a guest on bashing Dominion and were protecting themselves from a lawsuit. In fact they were simply showing a speech excerpt. This makes no sense. Here's the issue I have with Newsmax on this. Since you've decided to fact check CNN-style, then be consistent. When you show a clip of schitt talking about Russian collusion read a statement that Mueller found no collusion. When Hillary says the election was stolen by the Russians, please correct that. Of course you won't do that.

Ironically what Trump said was 100% true. The constitution states election law can only be changed through state legislatures. In swing states you had judges and local flunkies changing rules. Check your facts Newsmax.

Keep up the "good work", I'm already starting to switch back over to fox more and more as our refreshing new conservative alternative is quickly souring...or maybe they were just less fresh than we were lead to believe.

Agreed. I had hoped newsmax would be impartial but it is just like all of the other leftist media. We do not have a first amendment in this country.

The groveling by the American Thinker outfit was shocking.

If they are as bad as they claimed to be, they should just strike their tent.

“Newsmax believes the election results to be accurate ... “ without proof....

Dominion law suits altering opinions and truth.

If the "election" results were accurate, they wouldn't have to keep repeating that "the results are accurate".

Just sayin'...

I saw that. I thought Bachmann looked like a hostage victim reading the statement prepared for him that obviously came from the top. However, the guests and their analyses were very good, as are most of Newsmax’s hosts (not that Bob Sellars guy who harangued Mike Lindell of course). Greg Kelly, Stinchfield, and Chris Salcedo are sturdy as rocks for our side, and some of the other hosts are also good.

Newsmax is still better than what you’d get with Fox overall (no Juan Williams, Jessica Tarlov, or the unethical Donna Brazile for example) and lightyears better than CNN or MSNBC. It’s just too bad their “reporting” didn’t stay firm on the election fraud issue, as opposed to some of their opinion show hosts who have.

No one knows if the results were accurate because, for just one example, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SEE THE BALLOTS, many of which have been illegally destroyed.

Go ahead, Newsmax. Advance the fraud.

I'm still pleased with OAN.
I tried Newsmax when they were getting some good publicity, but then I saw their meltdown regarding the voter fraud accountability. Newsmax is just 'playing' conservative to get some views - otherwise I don't think their core values differ greatly than CNN.

American Thinker lost their credibility after that apology statement. Any subsequent articles by them is just garbage.

I quit Newsmax when Christopher Ruddy sidled up to the Clintons and Obamas like flies to honey. I realized then that he was no conservative, just a dishonest writer who liked to stay in the company of the “in crowd”. His ‘conservative pieces’ were such whiners and blame-throwers after that...I’m shocked to hear that he’s considered a conservative news site. He’s not! He took advantage during he Trump years to get back in the graces of conservatives, but his colors remain true blue! He knows people have short memories...some anyway! I’ve never turned to Newsmax again! I don’t care what he says!
If Trump thought have was a conservative, I can forgive him, but he was taken in. He manipulated his way back into the good graces of the American people, but now the wind is blowing a different way and you’ll soon see he’s careful not to offend his real friends.

Give OANN and some other sites a chance. Read Epoch Times online, etc. Just dump Newsmax, please!
