    I’m amazed Newsmax has any money left for lawsuits after they lost to Dominion Voting Systems.

      They slunk away with paying a fraction of what they would have lost under serious, competent leadership. As it was, Dominion was lucky to get paid before trump SuperPardoned them or whatthefuckever insanity he’d barf up.

      Seems the big payout was Fox News paying $750 million to settle. Dominion and SmartMatic sued Newsmax for a combined $107 million. Shortly after settling Newsmax went IPO and recouped all that money (and then some).

      They are in a better position than Fox and are drawing more and more viewers since Trump took office. I think Trump even said he watches more Newsmax than Fox at one point but that could be a hallucination.

      Newsmax seems to think it can fight Fox and win. Let’s see how this plays out.
