A battle over right-wing media bookings is playing out as Fox News reportedly tells guests to not appear on Newsmax
MSN Business Insider ^ | 11/27/2020 | A Haroun

An intense rivalry over guest appearances and TV ratings is brewing between Fox News and Newsmax, according to CNN.

Fox News sources told CNN that producers are now monitoring guest bookings on Newsmax, and pressuring guests who appear on both channels to stop going on Newsmax.

Fox News denied to CNN that there was any directive from management for guests to stop appearing on the competing network.

Business Insider has contacted Fox for comment as well.

Newsmax told CNN that the pressure from Fox was indeed real. Its CEO, Chris Ruddy, accused Fox of an "anti-competitive violation" by trying to block guests.

CNN cited Fox News sources responding with the words "Welcome to the big leagues."

Can’t say I miss it much. Newsmax fits the bill nicely.
Hope any hosts who are able will make the switch, but can’t say I miss them.

“Right wing” must mean everyone who is not Communistically inclined.

"anti-competitive violation"

Of what? Is there an anti-trust provision or something like that somewhere?

Grow the hell up. They’re just wankers reading a prompter.

Don't forget OAN, especially if it's available . . . not sure why some systems still don't have it.

“Newsmax fits the bill nicely.”

I haven’t signed up to Newsmax because the first signup screen wants my email address and when I hit Submit do they require money, and if I don’t want to pay now they have my email address.

What do you get if you sign up? Do you have to pay?

“Newsmax fits the bill nicely.” Corrected version: IF

I haven’t signed up to Newsmax because the first signup screen wants my email address and **IF** I hit Submit do they require money, and if I don’t want to pay now they have my email address.

What do you get if you sign up? Do you have to pay?

Fox will learn too late.

Example: What has CNN learned?

What will really matter is when NewsMax says their people can’t appear on foxnews.

It’s coming.

Fox News is getting desperate. Collapsing ratings will do that to you.

There is NewsMax, OAN, and America’s Voice as well as many websites!

I watch Bannon War Room on YouTube on my TV.

The best part is that Fox News will be laying off a mass of staffers in January in advance of their OND quarterly earnings report in February.

Losing 50% of their ratings = losing 50% of their advertising revenue.

That’s why you see all the on-air suckups begging Lachlan Murdoch and Paul Ryan not to fire them in January.

I haven’t signed up to Newsmax

Why sign up at all? I just go to https://www.newsmaxtv.com and watch. Since I have a computer hooked up to my TV as an input source, I watch on my TV, but anyone who just wants to watch Newsmax on a laptop or desktop can do so at any time, no sign up.
