Newsmax ^ | 1-11-2021 | Staff

The rise of Newsmax TV has caused a major shake-up at Fox News, which announced Monday that its early evening show host Martha MacCallum has been demoted back to an early afternoon slot, among other changes to the lineup.

"Newsmax's consistently strong numbers during the day and especially at the 7 p.m. ET slot has caused panic at Fox, which rarely makes lineup changes," Newsmax said in a statement Monday, adding with a wink, "The Fox is on the run."

I heard she was going to welcome back NYC leader of BLM with open arms. And let him take over the interview again.

We don’t have their numbers where we want them. - yet.

We need to drive down their viewership to zero.

Then we can say :

WE DID IT !!!

Just a reminder to all: Newsmax is an online only streaming service. It’s only a matter of time until the left goes after them to shut them down for being an ally of President Trump.
