Newsmax
Definition
Newsmax is an American conservative cable news channel, website, and media company founded in 1998 by Christopher Ruddy, known for right-wing political commentary and positioning itself as an alternative to Fox News.
The network gained prominence for its pro-Trump coverage, especially post-2020 election, but has been criticized as far-right for promoting conspiracy theories and faced multimillion-dollar defamation settlements with Dominion ($67 million, August 2025) and Smartmatic ($40 million, 2024).
Examples
Newsmax shares rocketed over 700 percent on IPO day before plunging 77 percent the next, proving their market predictions are as reliable as their election forecasts.
After settling election lawsuits for over $100 million, Newsmax generously funded democracy's truth-tellers, one payout at a time.
Newsmax's antitrust suit against Fox was dismissed in a flash, showcasing their knack for legal drama that rivals their on-air prime time.
Tuning into Newsmax feels like joining a family reunion where everyone agrees the deep state stole the last election and your portfolio.
