CNN Pushes to Close Down Newsmax TV
NewsMax ^ | January 17, 2021 | Eric Mack

CNN is making no mistake about it: It wants to censor and close Newsmax from broadcasting as a cable news channel. Apparently jolted by the fact Newsmax has skyrocketed to become the 4th highest-rated cable news channel in the country, the liberal CNN is decrying what it calls Newsmax's "election denialism" and is seeking to have it "deplatformed" from cable and satellite systems across the nation.

1950s Pravda spreading communist propaganda.
2020s CNN spreading democrat propaganda.

No difference at all.

Anti-Competition Monopoly, CNN, needs to be shut down.

CNN should be deplatformed for being anti-American Marxist sympathizers. The only place they belong is in China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba and North Korea.

The world makes no sense to me.

Can Toyota demand that Ford be shut down?
Can Walmart demand that Target be shut down?

They should not be able to do anything to them. Unless the satellite and cable companies are far left. When the channel is that popular the companies are nuts to get rid of them. I think Trump is going to get something started.

Newsmax tells a narrative that doesn’t march in goose step with the party.

Newsmax is likely moving to eliminate CNN from cable news. CNN - what a joke.

The first amendment freedom of speech, which can be used to close down speech that isn’t free (and Newsmax isn’t free), doesn’t apply to automakers.

I think it’s obvious my remark is tongue in cheek, but I do expect every rule of law to be applied for the opposite of its natural and intended meaning.

If we only had a completely reliable source of information... Wait! I have it! We can call it “The Ministry of Truth”! Life would be so much easier...

#3: "So much for ‘freedom on the press’."

Yeah, and so much for free market capitalism. Can't compete? No problem, conspire with other globalists to shut down your competition.

CNN is also trying to ban Fox News. They’re taking their cue from Twitter, Facebook, Google and Amazon.

Anything surprising?

Quite apart from the sheer stupidity of CNN, cable in general is fast collapsing. Read an article in CNBC a few weeks back which said cable subscribers will collapse to just 50 million in a few years time.
Who needs acble when there is online streaming?
Newsmax is on everything, online streaming and every streaming platform out there on the internet.
You can't close Newsmax down. The Communist Biden regime can try and they will get the same thing that happened to the Soviet communist regime.
