Is it really news?

a media company employing current congress people to promote their opinions is not news. In fact, I don't see a single journalist amongst their content. Any current events are discussed through a conservative lens and not reported as is. (IE Like you see on the local news about breaking news or summary of the day's events).

Just seems like this is another attempt to hide conservative Propaganda under the guise of "news"... similar to info wars or brietbart 2601:401:501:950:C011:F63:7F69:3C2F (talk) 00:32, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citations supporting usage of conservative, right wing, etc

The first 36 citations are out of order. Sources using "right wing" are in the group cited as using "conservative" and vice versa, so on. It may also be worthwhile to pull the relevant quote from every source and add it to the citation text (currently some do this). I'm not entirely familiar with the template used for these citation groups, so if someone else wants to step in, please do. But I'm going to work on it.

Thank you FMSky! Moran Wright (talk) 21:44, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Im still not 100% sure if its completely fixed though, could you maybe look again --FMSky (talk) 21:59, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I will go through them. I believe I understand the coding on these grouped citations, and the quotes. I'll try to do the fixes myself an let you know when I'm done. Moran Wright (talk) 14:00, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History

I made some minor edits to the 2009-10 period which now ends

"closing 2009 with $36 million revenues, up from $25 million the year before. A 2010 New York Post story reported that the paper's long-time former editor Kenneth Chandler would become Newsmax Magazine's editor-in-chief. Earlier Ruddy had told Business Insider the company expected annual 2010 revenues to reach $50 million."

but wonder if there should be more radical editing there and for other periods. Mcljlm (talk) 01:08, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reliability

Newsmax article says:

The Wikipedia community has categorized Newsmax as an unreliable source of information.

Reuters:

In the first round, the Defense Department said a week ago the New York Times, NBC News, Politico and the National Public Radio had to vacate their dedicated workspaces at the Pentagon.

Incoming media outlets include the New York Post, Breitbart, the Washington Examiner, the Free Press, the Daily Caller, Newsmax, the Huffington Post and One America News Network, most of whom are seen as conservative or favoring Republican President Donald Trump, who took office on January 20.
