OAN Stars Bolt for Newsmax as Pro-Trump Network Reaches New Levels of Bonkers

Newsmax is stealing OAN talent.

[albie]

“but also as a respite from OAN’s increasing extremism.”

...uh. yeah. ok.

[DoodleDawg]

According to insiders—including current Newsmax staffers—who spoke with The Daily Beast, the uptick in OAN staffers abandoning ship can be chalked up to the network’s minuscule ratings, its lower pay, and the fact that Newsmax is only ever-so-slightly less toxic in its diehard MAGA politics.

I'm going to predict that it's the lower pay that is the primary, and probably only, reason for the moves.

Consider the source: Yahoo News, not widely known to be supportive of conservative philosophies.
Other than that, ‘Stars Bolting’ from one network to another is par for the course in media. Always a lot of horse trading going on when near the year of contract renewal.

far-left yahoo

no clicks for commies

[Seruzawa]

Lol. Yahoo “news” complaining about bonkers journalists. You can’t make this up.

[TakebackGOP]

Yahoo News isn’t news.

[ConservativeMind]

I agree.

[drypowder]

To any and all communist democrat controlled American tv news agencies, like Chris Ruddy and News Max, they attack OANN for being the top truth teller. OAN’s Pearson Sharp has recently exposed Chris Ruddy as a closet liberal democrat supporter and a fraud.

I recall Diana Falzone from Red Eye

[Olog-hai]

Second-hand from further-left Daily Beast, too.

[sanjuanbob]

Should have checked out One America’s Voice.

[mass55th]

I don’t watch either one, nor any other news channels, anywhere, anytime. FR is my go-to place for what’s going on in the world.

[FLT-bird]

This tells me I need to watch OAN more. If far left Yahoo is against them, then OAN must be reporting the truth.

[Falconspeed]

“unhinged right-wing territory”

Yahoo is evil. Sad, since Yahoo is one of the old timers in Silicon Valley, like Excite, Lycos and Netscape. Marrisa Myers destroyed Yahoo.

OANN is great. Liz Wheeler now has a fine Youtube show. Today OANN talked about inflation caused by Biden. Lumber prices are up 300%. Yahoo does not care.

FTA:

"Already known for its cartoonishly bonkers MAGA propagandizing..."

Never read "(CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS/MSNBC) known for its cartoonishly bonkers Russian Dossier propagandizing...".

I guess "cartoonishly bonkers" is a right wing mental illness now.

[FirstFlaBn]

You’re not missing much. OAN is mostly a snoozefest and Newsmax is amateur hour.

[miserare]

To the authors:

How many cliches can you fit in one article?

Your style is not bright and breezy.

It is derivative and childish.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Havent watched sNewsmax since Lindell got dissed.

[Ge0ffrey]

Unhinged Yahoos at Yahoo news. Yahoos fling poop, if you’ve ever read Gulliver’s 4th voyage.
