It's always disappointing to find a nice juicy headline, then to discover it's from Newsmax.com.

Read the article. I know what you're saying though. The biggest problem that Newsmax has with 'truth in reporting' is the way they write headlines. I have noticed that for a long time, their headlines sometimes exaggerate.

But, the truth is in the article.

I guess what I mean is that Newsmax.com is not exactly "mainstream", and sometimes their reporting is sloppy.

Also they send too much junkmail.

I think you missed the point. I have the same reaction too when I see what looks like a "juicy" headline. I keep hoping that when I open the article, it will be from some major news outlet. If it's posted from a major news outlet, then the story might have legs. It's not that I don't trust what Newsmax is saying, it's just that seeing a topic on Newsmax is a long way from seeing it on the evening news where 99% of the public (who haven't even heard of Newsmax) might see it also.
