Then why complain that it's from NewsMax? The only reason I've seen people complain that an article's from NewsMax is because they say NM isn't always accurate.

So what's your beef?

So what's your beef?

My beef is that Newsmax is sometimes not accurate, and sometimes incorrigibly lazy.

As only one of many examples, last week it reported without any followup Ollie North's TV assertion that North Vietnam's General Giap had written favorably about Vietnam Vets Against the War (Kerry) in a 1985 autobiography.

Now, if true, that would be a huge story. But Newsmax offered no followup with North, no mention of the name of the book, no mention of Giap's actual quote, nothing. Just a recitation of North's claim. Zero followup, zero digging.

That (like many of their stories) would not have passed muster in a real newsroom. A serious news editor would say "What, you're reporting from TV talk shows now? Go get the rest of the dam**d story!"

That's my beef.
