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.
Goodbye Newsmax
Plus, I made up a new word!
Can someone play taps for newsmax
Have to dig even on gateway but here’s a link
Let’s see... stop watching anything that may not be 100% inline with your thought process... you may as well switch to HAM Radio and selected operators because no news, entertainment or sports show will achieve 100% of your view.
What would the reaction have been if Facebook had spent 500 million dollars to place drop boxes in rural and conservative areas?
I agree with your comments 100%.
Even my wife doesn’t share all of my views ... and I married her!.................
“I never did get worked up about News max for some reason.”
Me, too. The had goofy Talking Heads on staff.
Newsmax is Hillary and Billy Foundation supporting crap. Delete it.
Same here.. lot of quiet time !!
I’ve never watched Sellers, who comes on at a bad time for me. But I like Sean and Emma in the morning and Grant Stinchfield at dinnertime. I used to watch Tuckie at that time, but switched when Fox turned hard left.

Peter Navarro report on voter fraud
Lindell goes to Newsmax and says I want to talk about cancel culture.
They say, OK, good topic, we’ll have you on, under one condition: You don’t talk about the total BS story about Dominion, because if you do, we’re going to get sued again and we KNOW we will lose, because we KNOW there’s zero validity to the whole story.
OK says Lindell, only cancel culture will be discussed.
Then he goes on television and starts screaming about voting machines again. He’s insane. Dominion is going to end up owning a pillow factory.
You are Welcome FRiend.
Share that link as much as you can, the report is being suppressed on the web.
Lindell is insane??
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.
Do you know for a ‘fact’ that Lindell was invited on to that segment, with ‘one condition’ to NOT mention voter fraud/Dominion? Funny that Newsmax has SINCE invited him back on.
The STOLEN election, assisted by Dominion, is PART of the cancel culture, btw. They cancelled our votes and our legitimate President. And, they’re attempting to cancel Lindell’s right to free speech.
But, you overlook that.
Incredible to see defense of what Dominion has and is doing, and of the reprehensible behavior of the idiot Newsmax host, by ANYONE, here.
THAT is insanity.
Btw....babbleOn....take a look at the links in posts 11 and 93, for proof of Voter Fraud, before calling Lindell ‘insane’ for discussing Dominion and voter fraud, during an interview about cancel culture.
LOL! Nonsense!
If anyone would like to send their “regards” to Newsmax, here is the link:

Lindell is a true patriot.
I have to laugh at how many fair weather sailors we have, who can be compromised when the enemy lets the most minuscule of farts. Sets ‘em right off like a fire cracker. The lefty propaganda warps them so they do not know which way is up.TANTRUMS even.
The Navarro Report is being suppressed all across the web. Its an easily understandable summary on how the Steal happened.
Share this link as much as you can, so the left cannot suppress it:
Yes, President Trump Won: The Case, Evidence, & Statistical Receipts”
This means the President Trump is still President.
That turns the table on the Left, and drives them nuts. I like it when they are nuts, because they show their true face to America instead of their false “unity” masks.Let America see what they “elected.” It ain’t pretty.
