Newsmax swallows MAGA pride and adds disclaimer after Trump interview: 2020 election "legal and final" (video) [1]

['Carla Sinclair']

Date: 2023-08-10

Newsmax is known for spreading outrageous conspiracy theories, including the reckless lie that the 2020 election was stolen. So it's quite amusing to see host Eric Bolling add a forced disclaimer to the end of his interview with Donald Trump, now admitting the network doesn't believe in the MAGA propaganda pushed by the thrice-indicted former one-term president.

"Alright, folks. Now, just a note. Newsmax has accepted the election results as legal and final," he stated.

Funny how big fat defamation lawsuits (by Smartmatic and Dominion) — which could cost Newsmax millions if not close to $1 billion, if the Fox debacle is any indicator — can so drastically change the messaging.
