Look. Remember #Newsmax? That conservative news network in America? Well. Apparently I just now discovered this:

"#NewsmaxBalkans, the media partner of the American TV network Newsmax, is already present in #BosniaAndHerzegovina, #Montenegro, and #NorthMacedonia. With the launch of newsmaxbalkans.al in #Albania, its presence across the #Balkans is now complete.

Newsmax Balkans also has correspondents in Washington, Brussels, Chicago, and Munich, as well as a network of reporters across #Serbia.

Newsmax Balkans is the fastest-growing media company in this part of #Europe, and after Albania, expansion is planned to Central and Eastern European countries – #Poland, the #CzechRepublic, #Slovakia, #Hungary, #Romania, and #Bulgaria."

And also they want to make it so that they eventually expand to not just all of the Balkans but ALL OF EUROPE! (They are apparently planning to launch operations in #Poland this year?) This is NUTS! https://newsmaxbalkans.com/english/vesti/25681/christopher-ruddy-and-vladimir-lucic-present-newsmax-balkans-expansion-plan/vest

How I know this? They have a YouTube channel! Where they are already influencing their target audience! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLwCfOjZDvGpNxagHt2eo7A
