    Newsmax likes to position itself as more "moderate" (aka, anyone to the left of FoxNews.) They almost have to stand with the rest if they want to keep up that pretense.

    You know, I have no actual idea. I was forming my opinion based off something 2nd-hand, which I had from someone who was interviewing with them at the time. Theyre all too obnoxious for me to actually watch.

    Looking at independent assessments Id say youre right.
