If Newsmax doesn’t want to keep getting sued for helping Trump continue to spread his lies about the 2020 election supposedly being “stolen,” maybe they should quit airing his rallies. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Newsmax do a lame attempt at damage control, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
Fox “news” cut away from Trump to issue multiple fact-checks during his rally in South Carolina this Friday, but Newsmax apparently waiting until the entire speech was over to issue theirs:
Newsmax host Carl Higbie punctuated a speech by former President Donald Trump in South Carolina by stating it is his network’s position that the results of the 2020 election were “legal and final.”
Speaking in Rock Hill the day before Saturday’s South Carolina primary, Trump played his greatest hits, including his false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Trump accused the Department of Justice of refusing “to investigate egregious acts of voting irregularities and frauds.” […]
After Trump’s speech, which Newsmax aired in its entirety, Higbie greeted viewers.
“I never get tired of that guy,” he said before adding a caveat from a sheet of paper he was holding up. “The president mentioned in his speech the 2020 elections. Newsmax as a network believes the results were legal and final.”
It won’t matter to the rubes in Trump’s cult. If there were any real accountability for the lies they tell constantly, all of these right wing networks would have been sued out of existence a long time ago.
