That Newsmax clip with Mike Lindell was actually a huge red pill. The media is supposed to find answers, seek the truth, and report the news. They are supposed to be inquisitive and curious by nature, probe and ask questions. If someone states that they have proof of a crime, the media should want to at least hear the evidence and let people exercise their free speech. Due to their extreme liberal bias though, the media tries to confirm or debunk the stories which they selectively choose to report. The reaction from Newsmax was actually much more disturbing: immediately cutting him off, talking over him, reading a statement from a propaganda script. Perfect example of “thou doth protest too much.” Remember all the ridiculous accusations that Trump stole the election in 2016 and of course all the Trump Russia collusion bullshit? They babbled on and on about that 24/7 for years. And no one batted an eye let alone tried to censor anyone. The media actually encouraged it. So now on top of reporting fake news, they are censoring and erasing real news. Welcome to 1984 World.

I read yesterday that Newsmax "disrespected" our beloved patriotic pillow merchant and wondered how bad could it actually have been. I finally watched the clip just before... holy cow. What an utter shitshow.
Man, it is crystal-clear what happened there, just like Newt on Fox dropping Soros name some time ago. You know upper management told those two Newsmax anchors to not allow for any talk regarding fraud or they're fired.
I just couldn't tell if the anchor got up and left because he truly believes that drivel statement he was reading from his superiors and was upset with Lindell, or that the alpha-level heat that Lindell was raining down on him, combined with the fact that he is basically a neutered "journalist" at the moment, was too much for him to handle. I'm leaning towards the later because I found the "producers, can you get me out of here" part very telling. That dude was panicked and so uncomfortable; he wanted to be far away from that confrontation.
Regardless, what an implosion. To use a favorite response by leftists: Yikes!
