I always found Ruddy strangely lethargic in his aspect and almost prissy, though I liked his Vince Foster book a lot.
His NEWSMAX stewardship, though, has turned into a real joke, an irrelevancy, and by now is WAAAAAAYYYYYY behind the times, when it used to be a bit ahead of the times.
NEWSMAX seems to have become some kind of advertising machine which seems more interested in selling emergency radios rather than a source for news.
I just tried to go to newsmax, unable to get there. message not configures, or asomething like that, also suggests if site manager to go “here” giving a different link.
