ABOUT NEWSMAX I: Newsmax Media (or Newsmax.com; formerly NewsMax) is a publicly traded American media company that operates a news and opinion website and was founded in September 1998 by Christopher Ruddy. The website, described as right-wing, is divided into four main sections: Newsmax, Newsmax Health, Newsmax Finance, and Newsmax World, each further subdivided into various subcategories. Newsmax Media also operates a print magazine called Newsmax and the cable news channel Newsmax TV.

ABOUT NEWSMAX II: Newsmax is considered right-wing conservative and right-wing populist, and it also disseminates conspiracy theories.

The New York Times has described the website as a "potent force" in US politics, and Forbes called it a "news powerhouse." CEO Christopher Ruddy has attempted to position the network as a competitor to Fox News, in part by hiring former Fox News anchors Rob Schmitt, Greg Kelly, Bob Sellers, and Heather Childers. The Washington Post described Newsmax as "a landing pad for cable news personalities in need of a new home," citing the airing of Mark Halperin and Bill O'Reilly after they resigned from other networks following sexual harassment allegations. The Daily Beast also called it "a safe haven for personalities whose scandals have made them unwelcome at other networks or outlets," quoting legal analyst Alan Dershowitz.

Warning: Newsmax is considered right-wing conservative and right-wing populist, and it also spreads conspiracy theory news.
