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 had to switch between Fox and Newsmax because Newsmax folks were doing too much talking over each other and it was driving me cray cray

Chris Wallace is responsible for this entire debacle. Chris and his endless search for white supremecists at the debate. His career is over. His Dad Mike was a reporter, Chris is not. He’s mainly motivated by how his work will be judged at the Martha’s Vinyard Country Club.

Like the old time Radio Free Europe we can huddle quietly together in the dark and listen to shortwave bulletins from offshore pirate stations to find out what happened to the disappearing Deplorables after the semis were loaded with our blindfolded neighbors. Laptops and cell phones are traced too quickly by the Squad goons.

God forbid.

I hope they have a huge drop in viewers. Anxiously waiting for the ratings to come out. I hope they have a significant drop.

Was watching the coverage on Newsmax where everyone was bitching about Faux. Was told Newsmax sucks. Its coverage was really good. If they could get some Faux defections, they would be the force to deal with. They are streamed on Roku app or on Pluto.

We switch between Newsmax and OAN. The OAN guy on “Real America” is pretty good. A little wet behind the years but might be excellent once he’s matured. He had a great show tonight. I think it replays at 3 a.m. tonight. I’m DVR-ing it.

We switched to Newsmax and may cut cable because of that FNC disaster.

Back around 1995 or so, Fox was the only thing on TV I would watch. I quit TV altogether around 2003.

They used phrases like "we report, you decide", and "fair and balanced", and liberals hated them. Now they're a craven tool of progressives.

Chris Wallace’s career is over?

I wish you were right. But he’s still at Fox, still running their political coverage.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Stop watching Fox - or stop complaining about Fox. It’s one or the other, if you want to live with consistency and integrity.

My tagline will tell you which path I’ve chosen

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

Don’t forget Paul Ryan. There are a lot of never-Trump repubs collaborating in this. Hope they go bankrupt!

All Fox has left are a few of their opinion shows.
