Jman7885 64 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Not a network generally discussed here, but curious on NewsMax TV's schedule. Seems odd to me that most (if not all) the morning/dayside shows have a co-anchor format, but with the exception of the 9am-12pm show the only anchor featured as the 'anchor/host' is the male co-host. The one that makes the least sense is naming the 12pm hour 'John Bachman Now' yet he has a co-anchor? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18781-newsmax-tv/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 937 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Greta Van Susteren is leaving Gray Television and joining NewsMax.

(as good old Superstation WGN) A channel filled with reruns may not work as well in today's age with on-demand streaming. The only ones that do well are the ones that are niche or are available OTA. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18781-newsmax-tv/#findComment-273865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it that infects the minds of once rational and respected people to fall off such a nonsense cliff? To answer the first question, Newsmax didn’t seem to care when it initially went on air. At no point did a producer/director decide to pull the plug and go to break when Logan brought up the topic of a “global cabal.” On the contrary, Bolling appeared to encourage her ramblings, and even articulated the sentiments behind the “Great Replacement” theory. The whole segment was nothing but a series of conspiratorial (and arguably overtly racist) claims. Even the lower third graphics seemed to encourage Logan’s BS (ex: “Logan: It’s Good vs. Evil” when she was going on about the End Times). I get the feeling that Newsmax is only now condemning her statements because they gave the game away and got caught. As for what happened to Lara, I’ve wondered the same about many of my friends and relatives who’ve found sanctuary in the far right/far left (though the far right seems to have received more mainstream acceptance in the GOP than the far left has received among Democrats). I can name people in my own personal life who were otherwise good, decent, and rational, but even they have been seduced into becoming fanatics with a hunger for political violence. They didn’t become like that overnight; it happened over several years. The quote about fascism coming to America “wrapped in the Flag and carrying the Cross” comes to mind. It’s not because patriotism and religion are always inherently fascist (they aren’t). Rather, it’s that extreme ideologies become palatable and popular by dressing themselves in respectable clothing. They attract people with the familiar, and slowly but surely drag those people towards extremism. I know that sounds overtly political, but I can’t think of another way to explain why so many respectable people have gone off the deep end. The only other answer is that they’re human, and humans are capable of these things. That answer scares the daylights out of me.

DJonNews 95 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Reviving this topic from the dead because DirecTV has officially dropped Newsmax as of yesterday. It did so because of a dispute over carrier fees. Naturally, Newsmax went and did the same thing as OAN when Verizon dropped them, calling it an act of political censorship and bias, never mind that DirecTV included in their statement that they wanted to "continue to offer the network." Oh, and Newsmax said they're getting "cancelled." Yeah. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/26/media/directv-drops-newsmax/index.html Edited January 26, 2023 by DJonNews 3 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18781-newsmax-tv/#findComment-282317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting "canceled," even though they are literally viewable for free online. Meanwhile, they plan on getting rid of that in the next few months and stick to cable. Guess they'll be "canceled" again by then....caused by themselves. 5 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18781-newsmax-tv/#findComment-282320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
froyo49 230 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) When Nexstar et al. pulls their channels, no one bats an eye. When an endless conjecture channel gets pulled, it’s the worst affront to democracy and deserves congressional hearings. Puh-lease. If they really were silencing voices, they would’ve blocked AT&T internet customers from accessing Newsmax’s website.
