The burgeoning news organization is trying really hard to toe the line, but they've abandoned their base in the process.
When MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell went on the Newsmax show, “American Agenda,” he was supposed to talk about the cancel culture that forced his banning on Twitter and removal of his product from multiple “woke” retail outlets. But as the conversation turned to voter fraud and evidence he has been trying to present, things got ugly.
And now @newsmax is gone too.
There is no news source in this country. It is all one party propaganda. https://t.co/p2GQ7x7Map

Anchor Bob Sellers quickly cut off the conservative firebrand when he brought up voting machines. “Well, first mine was taking down because we have all this election fraud with these Dominion machines — we have 100 percent proof…”
Newsmax has been sued by Dominion Voting Machines for reports that their voting equipment and software was part of the rampant election fraud that subverted the results of the election and gave Joe Biden the victory. This prompted an awkward moment as Sellers began reading the legal notice prepared for instances like these while Lindell continued to speak about it.
Social media users weren’t happy with the exchange.
So @Newsmax won’t let their guest speak because they are scared CNN will get them taken down. The soviet style censorship has reached next level. Scary

I wonder if this Newsmax anchor is related to Chris Wallace? Or Shep Smith? https://t.co/I8RwnhdTrZ

With the fall of Fox News as the preeminent “right-leaning” mainstream media outlet, Newsmax has been trying to work their way into the mix with some success. But they have made some mistakes along the way and alienated the base that had turned to them following the election day betrayal by Fox News. The lawsuit by Dominion exacerbated their position as they lurched to the murky middle. But some have pointed out that their attempts to subdue Dominion’s lawsuit have not been received well.
Worth noting — I asked a source at Dominion Voting Systems recently if the company was satisfied with the walk-backs by media outlets who'd received litigation warnings and was told:
"Dominion found the clarifications from Fox News and NewsMax bizarre and wholly unsatisfying." https://t.co/3zY51QQ44B

According to The Gateway Pundit:
Sellers proceeds to read off a statement saying “there were some clear evidence of some cases of vote fraud and election irregularities, the election results in every state were certified and Newsmax accepts the results as legal and final. The courts have also supported that view.”
After silencing his guest, Sellers has the audacity to say that he wants to talk to Lindell about cancel culture.
“We don’t want to relitigate the accusations that you’re making Mike,” Sellers asserts as Lindell gets increasingly agitated by the interruption.
“You’re going to suppress, just like Twitter,” Lindell says as the host continues to speak over him. Sellers then asks if Lindell thinks it will be a temporary ban, and the MyPillow owner attempts to explain that he is reviewing more evidence of fraud on Friday.
Sellers, clearly frustrated by the exchanged, stormed off the set.
If you thought Newsmax was going to be the answer to a failing Fox News, think again. They’re just as beholden to corporate interests, leftist talking points, and faux-conservative propaganda. They’re the controlled opposition.
Neither did I. I tried to love it, but it was not worth my love, or even my mild like.
No, it isn’t true. None of it. You’ve bought into a lie. There was no Dominion vote switching. The machines were not web connected. Nothing happened. The people who are saying something happened are being sued for billions, and Dominion is going to win those lawsuits. Lin Wood will be bankrupted. MyPillow will be bankrupted.
Look at the people who backed down: Lou Dobbs, The Examiner, OAN, Fox, Newsmax. These people have lawyers who looked at the info being put out by Sidney and they said RUN AWAY from this story.

Wow cannot believe what I am reading...Even here! Yes, Navarro report! Networks caved, but it has nothing to do with the truth! Thanks for posting the Navarro report!
Enforcing libel laws is not censorship. You can’t go on television and make false accusations against specific entities..

Since when has it been your duty to enforce the law of libel?
Try doing that where I live.
You would have to do a little doxing , and then call Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA to do it for you, and risk being an example of a 2nd amendment backed enforcement of Free Speech.
Why not enforce the constitution, that IS a duty:
Have a good read and let it sink in:
Samuel Adams, Philadelphia State House, Aug 1st, 1776
” If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.”
Hey Dummy - care to retract that insult? See babble’s post 94.
He’s a Lindell hater. Are you?
Oh for God’s sake the whole world knows it was the Dominion voting machines. Those lawsuits are a total bluff. There are tutorials from Dominion about how to change votes. Where have you been?
One of the co-anchors at the time was Heather Childers, a former Fox journalist.
“Wow...way to go, babble! We RARELY have folks on our side who FIGHT and stand up to the absurd smears/false accusations/petty lawsuits, etc., by the leftists....and, when we do.....you join in with the leftists and attack this good man, Mike Lindell.”
Well said. We need to support the fighters on our side. There aren’t very many of them.
the weasel bob who stormed off issued a liberal’s ‘apology’ which STILL blamed Mike for what happened- claiming they were supposed to talk about censorship of speech, but that is NOT what bob asked Mike- Bob asked mike WHY he got banned from twitter, and Mike was attempting to answer when sellers went mental. Sellers began by distancing himself from newsmax by claiming
“Mike is a friend of this network”then goes on to continue to blame Mike for what happened-
Seller’s actions were despicable- clearly censorship- Mike was ‘supposed to talk about censorship’ but sellers was clearly censoring Mike the whole time- Heather wasn’t much better either-
