Yeah. Un huh. That's right. Cons are winning. Libtards are losing. " A new national poll finds that 20% of Americans are watching Newsmax TV regularly. A McLaughlin & Associates survey of voters conducted in November found that the new cable news channel had already snatched half the viewership of Fox News, long the dominant cable news player". Poll Finds 20 Percent of U.S. Watch Newsmax TV | Newsmax.com
Yeah.... the outlet which claims that Donald Trump won the 2020 election is asserting that 20% of Americans watch Newsmax regularly. LOL. McLaughlin & Associates, their pollster, has a D rating for accuracy and a hard right political bias. Trump Hires GOP’s Worst Pollster Donald Trump likes to say he hires the best people, but apparently that policy doesn’t extend to pollsters. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hires-gops-worst-pollster Donald Trump just hired the guy responsible for one of the biggest polling disasters in recent history. John McLaughlin, a long-time Republican pollster based in New York, confirmed to The Daily Beast that he’s joined the Trump Train to poll New York State, as the campaigns hopes it will be competitive in November. The New York Times first reported that he was headed to team Trump. McLaughlin is most famous for his role in a historic upset: the astounding primary 2014 defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor to college professor Dave Brat. McLaughlin was Cantor’s pollster, and released a poll two weeks before the race indicating Cantor would win by 34 points. Instead, he lost by 12—a polling flub of titanic proportions. Washington Post reporter Paul Kane noted that tomorrow will be the two-year anniversary of the release of McLaughlin’s now-infamous poll. (More at above url)
Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy Thinks His Pro-Trump Audience Is ‘Stupid,’ NY Times Columnist Says “In this day and age, people want something that tends to affirm their views and opinions,” Ruddy tells Smith https://www.thewrap.com/newsmax-ceo-chris-ruddy-ny-times/ The New York Times’ Ben Smith thinks Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy has a pretty low opinion of his conservative pro-Trump viewership. In a new column titled “The King of Trump TV Thinks You’re Dumb Enough to Buy it,” Smith said Ruddy sidestepped questions about why his fledgling news network continues to push unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, but offered this: “In this day and age, people want something that tends to affirm their views and opinions.” And Smith suggested that Ruddy cynically played to his right-leaning audience’s belief system despite the facts. “Nobody I’ve ever covered treats an audience with the blithe disdain of Mr. Ruddy,” he wrote of the CEO. “He has them watching a great story — a thriller, a whodunit — about a stolen election. He thinks they’re stupid enough to fall for it, dumb enough to keep watching even after the fantasy inevitably dissolves, buying the supplements and the books and, crucially, tuning in to channel 1115 in large enough numbers that, eventually, the cable companies will pay him.” In addition, Smith unearthed old letters Ruddy sent to Hillary Clinton aides in 20o4 that suggest he hasn’t always been a true believer of the right-wing cause. Ruddy wrote to former New York City Mayor Ed Koch that Clinton was doing “a remarkably and surprising good job for NY as Senator,” Smith reported. Ruddy went on, “I might not like Hillary’s liberalism, but I don’t dislike her on a personal level — as I do Rudy. Rudy Giuliani is a bad person.” The Smith column comes as Trump has been urging his followers to tune into Newsmax (or competing conservative channel One America News) instead of Fox News in recent weeks. On Nov. 7, when every major media platform and channel declared that Joe Biden had won the 2020 election, Newsmax announced it would hold off on declaring a winner. As Trump has refused to concede and baselessly insisted there was widespread voter fraud in the election, Newsmax has had his back, contributing to what Smith branded “a thriller, a whodunit.” While Fox is still undoubtedly a ratings juggernaut and leads primetime easily, Newsmax did see a post-election ratings bump from presumable defectors or viewers interested in following that false plotline. According to Nielsen Media Research ratings data, Newsmax got 72,000 average total viewers during the week preceding the election on Nov. 3. The week of the election, Newsmax got 204,000 average total viewers. That amounts to a 183% increase, but the other cable news networks also all saw increases. A representative for Newsmax did not immediately return a request for comment on Smith’s column.

New York Times, the most discredited extreme liberal biased paper out there. Only an idiot believes everything this biased rag as truth? If they had to pay $10,000 for each lie, they would be long bankrupt.
