Everyone saying fuck newsmax, stop being so fucking gullible, just saying. These corporations do not care about us, have not ever cared about us, and only pandered to gain viewership. When fox news showed they cared more about themselves than the viewers, people flocked to other channels which welcomed them with open arms, only to go to business models they always preferred.

These people in the media have controlled the news for so long that they think they know better and that people will just watch anyways. They will pander as long as it serves their purpose then you are no longer needed. The same can be said about oan, and any other media network. Even most content creators that are only 1 or 2 or a handful of people, most of them only care about views and making money.

They will too turn against people not sharing their narratives and agendas. Find people on youtube, rumble, bitchute, odyssey, etc that you have confidence in and can actually interact with. Without that interaction, you are just a number, a number in a view counter. We do not need the media or anyone telling us what is news and what is fact.

Everyone should get up off their asses, up off the fucking couch, and do some damn research of your own. If you want real news, you have to look for it. Don't be a mindless drone or sheep that listens to someone on a show and take what is heard as fact.

Views help build a following, a following helps build income, income is money, money creates power, power often infects people and changes them. There are some that will not let that change them but sad to say but in most people, it will change them for the worse. We should care about each other, not these clowns in the media.

Yup, people have to get active in life. I honestly don't remember the last time I've watched the news or any media outlets. I get my information online where I can find reliable sources.

I haven't watched Fox regularly since 2016 and the Megyn Kelly betrayal and haven't watched any Fox at all this election cycle. I never even tried Newsmax because I just don't watch TV but glad they outed themselves early before getting too many viewers

Trivia -

“Christopher Ruddy founded the Newsmax website in 1998. At the time, big-time investors supported the platform, including the family of deceased CIA director William J. Casey. Newsmax has always been one to promote conspiracy theories, starting with those surrounding the 1993 suicide of Deputy White House counsel Vince Foster.

Today, Newsmax TV is operated by Newsmax Media, which remains spearheaded by CEO Ruddy. The Qatari government has invested in Newsmax since 2018, when it acquired a major stake in the company.”

Amen. It was a hard fall when I realized virtually all Popular news media has an agenda.

Now I question everything; even things from media I might have more faith in. Most of the time I find stories are blown out of proportion and/or bring on an emotion of fear or hopelessness.

I noticed that all these "news" channels almost always endorsed one another in a sneaky way, and the main message was us vs. them. No semblance of the vast reality of the American population.

When I listen the the ones that never get any attention I find gems. Also local news seems to pander less.
