In hiring @realDonaldTrump to moderate a Republican Debate, @Newsmax_Media shows why they should be called “NewsMin.” #SendInTheClowns #tcot

@Newsmax_Media the fact that you call her Hanoi Jane shows how out of touch with reality you are.  #newsminimum

Newsmax is Newsminimum but it is OpinionMax, They keep advertising the lie that Trump’s polling is better then when it’s not it click-baits you to answer their poll but wont register your vote without demanding your e-mail address.  LOL So blatantly underhanded.

Seems you should evaluate friendships better. Rivera contributes to “Newsmax?” That all I need to question his character - and intellect. Should be “Newsminimum” instead, since they’ve never met a fact they couldn’t distort!

You really need to expand what you watch beyond Faux News, News Min, OANot and Breitbarf.

Why do they call it Newsmax? Because Newsminimum doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

These fake news organizations even lie about their names.
Obviously #NewsMax stands for #NewsMINIMUM.
While #FoxNews stands for #UNfairAndUNbalanced.
Geesh! So many #BigLie acolytes!
