Conservatives Switched to Newsmax TV for Election Coverage
WTMA ^ | Nov 6 2020 | WTMA

Posted on 11/06/2020 7:41:04 PM PST by rintintin

conservatives ditched Fox News for Newsmax TV’s election coverage in droves. On Election Night, celebrities, political pundits in the White House, and staunch Fox fans tuned into Newsmax TV to get their election news, more proof of the meteoric rise in popularity of Newsmax TV.

Many began flipping the channel after Fox News called Arizona for Democrat Joe Biden. According to Newsweek, Fox was the only network at the time to show the state going to Biden. Newsmax was the first major news network to project Florida for Trump.

Newsmax TV was even playing in the White House on election night. “We’ve got [Newsmax] on every single TV right there,” special assistant to the president Andrew Giuliani told Newsmax TV Tuesday night from the White House lawn. He pointed out that Fox News had yet to give the state of Florida to Trump, something Newsmax had already done.

Grammy-award winning country singer Travis Tritt was one Fox News viewer who made the switch to Newsmax – and he let his huge fan base know and they agreed. As the results were unfolding, he tweeted to his army of followers: “No matter what the final results are tonight, one thing is extremely clear @FoxNews can no longer claim to be the fair and balanced network they once were. There are a lot of biased hacks there now and a ton of folks are noticing. It’s now @newsmax for me for election results.”

I flipped the channel to Newsmax TV as soon as I saw the NeverTrumper panel.

I did also and have never turned back to FOX.

Even Laura has given up on Trump. She’s moving on & considers Biden as President. She’s a fake.

As far as I can tell, Newsmax is 100% conservative. Chris Salceco and Greg Kelly are great and all the female reporters I’ve listened to are also conservative. I quit watching Fox a few months ago. I still watch Fox Business, especially Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartoromo. Both huge Trump fans. Dobbs ran Ann Coulter off his network a couple years ago for badmouthing Trump and she’s not been seen again on the network or really any network.

FoxNews is dead to me.

Not just the early calls, but the entire Leftist slant on
election night.

Screw that! If I want that crap, I’ll tune in CNN.

For several months, Pluto TV had a lot more pro-Biden ads than pro-Trump ads, so I question how Pluto TV is a gift to Conservatives during this last election cycle.

Came across Pluto a few weeks ago. Seems to me to lean conservative.

Fox for me is now Dobbs, Maria and Tucker. Occasional Gutfeld. Screw the rest.

I do more radio.

I go hot and cold with Laura. I’m completely out of Fox now. Sorry Tucker. I can’t stomach one minute. Jesse, Greg and Jeanine need to find a new home.

I was on the phone and the tv was on mute, but I saw Trish Regan on Newsmax this afternoon. Hope they hire her!

“The same people that bought drudge bought fox.”

Who is that? I thought Drudge still owned DR, and that the Murdochs still owned Fox.

Oh, yeah! I remember seeing that episode. I also remember yelling “F**k you!” to Wallace and Jennings.

Apple TV has a separate Newsmax app. I really enjoy it.

Pluto TV has OAN, but it’s not the “live” channel.

Ingraham interrupts her guests as much as Hannity does, but at least Hannity knows more about news events than she does.

If you ask a guest a question, you should let them fully answer it, not give your opinion, add some minuscule factoid, or talk over their ending sentence.

Tucker is getting better. As an old ground pounder journalist, including NAM and Cambodia, I learned long ago to ask a question and listen very closely to the answer. You’d be surprised what information you might get. Some of my replies from high-ranking NVA/VC defectors is still classified.

I was shocked when Fox announced pretty early on that the Dems would gain 5 seats. The western states were still voting! Talk about disenfranchising the voters. How could they make that statement? I doubt they had exit polling at each Congressional district. I wonder if they were mouthing the BS at that fraud Cook Report.

I did. Fox News is now fully part of the democrat’s information warfare wing.
