According to Sensor Tower, Newsmaxs rank among free apps in Apples App Store climbed from No. 1,061 on Election Day to No. 8 on Saturday.
On Saturday, when major decision desks were calling the 2020 election for Joe Biden, Fox News joined them. For much of the day, the conservative news outlet was splashed with chyrons about Bidens victory as its correspondents covered the historic moment in earnest. Over at Newsmax, meanwhile, readers could find stories about how the mainstream media called it for Biden, but that Newsmax itself had not.
Lines were drawn in the sand, and for Newsmax Media, those lines seem to be paying off. The conservative outlets mobile app is definitely enjoying a moment since the election. According to data tracking firm Sensor Tower, Newsmaxs rank among free apps in Apples App Store climbed from No. 1,061 on Election Day to No. 8 on November 8, the day after the election was called for Biden. As of yesterday, it hit its highest rank ever, Sensor Tower says. The app is seeing a similar bump on Google Play.

A similar splintering of audiences is taking place on social media networks as conservative usersangry about what they see as anti-conservative bias from Big Tech companies like Facebook and Twitterflock to alternative platforms like Parler, which similarly shot to the top of app store charts in the days following Bidens victory.
Of course, it will be a while before the dust settles on the post-Trump era, and the true winners wont be known for some time. But if this week is any indication, the balance of power in the media universe could look a lot different in the months and years to come.

Let’s not get carried away. We have a lot of boycotting to do first/s.
Fox News sucks Im not even watching Tucker now at principal...And his NewsMax is great As well as some other stuff out there including steve bannon war roo
Newsmax is too sensationalistic. The new ‘news’ is simply distributed information out of the hands of any central clearing house.
Yes, defund all of the cable tv LEFTIST media. Cut your cable tv. It is not enough to just change the channel. They get substantial amounts of subscriber fees. You have to cut your cable tv to hit them in the pocketbook. Force the cable tv companies to offer a la carte. No more basic bundle which props up the LEFTIST media.
Plus Fox News management was complicit as part of a conspiracy to call the race a certain way...Mea Culpa Will not work I hope Hannity and Tucker and Ingram move on to Newsmax or other channels otherwise Im not washing them and they can leave them selves with Chris Wallace and Cavuto that no one will watch
I like OAN better.
There is NO POST TRUMP era
O’Sullivan’s Law finally got Fox. It had a nice run, but it’s over.
Exactly!
Who could Newsmax combine with to gain stature? OAN maybe?
Boycotts are good, but in the end the Mr. Bigs the industry will take a small dent in their net worth and start laying off a few of their workers. But their sphere of influence will shrink and that’s what will hurt.
“Post Trump”? I don’t get it. :-)
“Post-Trump” is nothing more than wishful thinking by the RATS and RINOs and their collaborators.
I am very impressed with the PLUTO TV APP.
In exploring it I have found that America’s Voice and OAN are better at straight news then Newsmax.
The latter comes across as a low production Republican telethon.
Much too soon to call a Post Trump Era. Trump won the election. Lets see if the theft works or not. I’m betting not.
Yes and yes. Not even Tucker for me. I catch him on Youtube after the broadcast.
