Propaganda

This article page is half true and half propaganda. Stop letting them confuse you. 73.248.3.30 (talk) 21:23, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but which half? soibangla (talk) 21:30, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

if Newsmax is far-right, that would make CNN far-left. Yet the page for CNN is not described as such. This here is the very reason why Wikipedia is for entertainment and not reliable source and rejected by major academia. 39.15.58.57 (talk) 03:33, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"if Newsmax is far-right, that would make CNN far-left." Do you even know what these terms mean? Dimadick (talk) 10:43, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Now restored. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 14:47, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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. Moran Wright (talk) 15:14, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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]
