miss_demeanourNewsmax sues Fox News, saying it illegally controls right-wing TV market : NPR
Banzai51It would be a shame if a whole lot of behind the scenes dirt got exposed. A real shame.

TheLowestStoneCan One America News somehow get caught in the crossfire?

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.
MarshezezzIt’s like demon babies eating each other inside the stomach of the leopard before they get digested
Who is the leopard?
Me. I eat the demon babies.

ShaggySnacksI wish them both a long, costly, and messy litigation fight.
I’d prefer short, costly, and devastating.
A short, costly, and devastating litigation generally means one side won desively. The matter was dismissed without going anywhere.
I want motions being filed every step,a long discovery, pointless court appearance, and more. I want these fuckers to spend money and time in litigation where no one really won due the amount resources spent. I want the only people making any money is the lawyers. I want expensive lawyers who charge ridicolous sums for their services. I want Johnny Depp and Amber Heard level of aminosity.
I want them to drag Robert Murdoch’s undead corpse onto the stand. I want them go into the depths of hell to get Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy to give a deposition.
I want this to be humilating and very public. This a major issue in the right wing propaganda machine.
During all this, I want to sit and eat a bag of buttery popcorn. That is what a long, messy, costly litigation means.
HanrahanHopefulky this tirwnsnoit to be as long as the SCO v IBM lawsuit :)
I want it to drag on long enough that it splits the far right into two factions and they start reporting things to slander the “other side”
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.
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.
DominusOfMegadeusYou 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!
ScrubblesEither way think of the phenomenal amount of money they’re going to waste on lawyers here
It’s been the GOP propaganda arm since day 1.
These infighting between conservatives always seem like a diversion tactics to me.
CoraI 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.
