"You obviously do not know me."

True. But you haven't answered my question. What is the basis for the dismissive opinion you seem to hold regarding NewsMax? Did you catch them in a deliberate lie? Are they even more sloppy (if you can call it that) than CNN and gang? Or did you just hear somewhere that they were full of it?

I'm not being dismissive. I question everything I read.

I don’t keep a catalogue of mistakes Newsmax may have made over the years, but my experience has been that they tend to exaggerate. They are in the pocket of conservatives--just like the MSM is in the pockets of liberals. So, I question what I read.

Newsmax: Teresa Heinz Kerry earns approximately $50 million in annual income, ten times what she revealed on tax forms released late Friday, according to the New York Times.

NY Times: If the trusts are as large as reported - and the Kerry campaign has not challenged the billion dollar estimate - then even a modest 5 percent return would have generated $50 million of income, 10 times what was on the two pages released by Ms. Heinz Kerry.

Newsmax didn't quite get it right here. The NY Times estimates 50 million, and Newsmax reports it as if the Times stated a fact. Not a huge deal, but they are fudging. That's why I asked.

You asked earlier if I had drunk the kool aid. I'll submit that if you don't read EVERYTHING critically, they you are drinking the kool aid.
