It would be a shame if a whole lot of behind the scenes dirt got exposed. A real shame.
Can One America News somehow get caught in the crossfire?
I don't think "the right wing news market" counts as a legal grouping but whatever, kill each other please
100% agree. Bring each other down.
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.
Ahhh. I didn’t realize they raised cash through an IPO. That explains it.
The second worst propaganda outlet in the US suing the worst propaganda outlet in the US because they have a monopoly on propaganda, was not on my 2025 bingo card, but I'll take it.
You can’t change your bingo card halfway through!
Fuck it, the right wingers don't believe in rules, why should we?
Attention Bingo Hall! This is a stick up!

I wish them both a long, costly, and messy litigation fight.
Either way think of the phenomenal amount of money they're going to waste on lawyers here
These infighting between conservatives always seem like a diversion tactics to me.
It's been the GOP propaganda arm since day 1.
I was arguing with my mom a few weeks ago because she was spouting racist anti-immigrant bullshit randomly, and I told her to stop watching Fox News.
She said, "I don't watch Fox News anymore. They're propaganda. I switched to NewsMax."
ಠ_ಠ
I honestly hope they destroy and bankrupt each other. We literally can't mention politics anymore or else it will turn into a shouting match, because she is so brainwashed and propaganda-addled and gets angry when I literally back myself up with evidence that I show her right then. We even had to come up with a safe word if we get close so we don't start yelling.

- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.

- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
