• NewsMax Apology

    From Jeff Thiele@1:387/26 to All on Friday, April 30, 2021 19:46:26
    NewsMax apologizes for alleging widespread voter fraud:

    "Since Election Day, various guests, attorneys, and hosts on Newsmax have offered opinions and claims about Dr. Eric Coomer, the Director of Product Strategy and Security at Dominion Voting Systems.

    "Newsmax would like to clarify its coverage of Dr. Coomer and note that while Newsmax initially covered claims by President Trump’s lawyers, supporters
    and others that Dr. Coomer played a role in manipulating Dominion voting machines, Dominion voting software, and the final vote counts in the 2020 presidential election, Newsmax subsequently found no evidence that such allegations were true. Many of the states whose results were contested by the Trump campaign after the November 2020 election have conducted extensive recounts and audits, and each of these states certified the results as legal and final.

    "There are several facts that our viewers should be aware of. Newsmax has
    found no evidence that Dr. Coomer interfered with Dominion voting machines or voting software in any way, nor that Dr. Coomer ever claimed to have done so. Nor has Newsmax found any evidence that Dr. Coomer ever participated in any conversation with members of "Antifa," nor that he was directly involved
    with any partisan political organization.

    "On behalf of Newsmax, we would like to apologize for any harm that our reporting of the allegations against Dr. Coomer may have caused to Dr. Coomer and his family. For more on this, please go to our website at Newsmax.com,
    and read “Facts About Dominion, Smartmatic You Should Kw."

    That's super nice of them to admit to their mistake and apologize so publicly.

    Wouldn't it be funny if liberal media admitted to their bogus claims too?

    I don't think it was super niceness as much as legal threats that prompted
    the apology, but sure.

    Wouldn't it be funny if liberal media admitted to their bogus
    claims too? By "liberal," I assume you mean responsible journalists, and they do admit to their mistakes. However, they also don't lie nearly as much nor
    to the same extent as right-wing media. Actual "liberal" media is a different story.

    All media is liberal media. What's repsonsible about using celebrities to spread misinformation for Democrat votes?

    There's a difference between "media" and "news media." NewsMax, as their name implies, clearly want to be thought of as "news media," so comparing them to Oprah or whatever you're alluding to is apples and oranges. As far as "all media is liberal media," that's ridiculous. There are several right-wing news media. You're grasping for straws.

    Fox News is just a tool for the liberals to make it look like there's a "conservative" news. It's like when you're a kid and you've got a good guy action figure & a bad guy action figure - you can't have one without the other.

    All the other "conservative" news are jokes. Nobody has even heard of them (besides us.)

    I see. Like Breitbart, for example?

    It's been the case all along. There are a few "conservatives" on there who
    seem convincing (Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Piro) but they are just basically actors.

    Never seen it.
