Of Newsmax?
We have the latter on our Comcast system, in the upper band. One of the 4 digit channels.

I like the Brad Meltzer shows "Lost History" & "Decoded". So, I have a reminder set that tells me a couple minutes ahead, that the shows are airing.
One day, the reminder took me to newsmax.
I went back to what I was watching.
On a broadband system, I'm not convinced that the carrier isn't aggregating data of what channels are being watched, and I don't want to give NM any ratings!
Obviously though, they're not 100% news & commentary because they are running shows created by History Channel.
That's as much as I am willing to know about that channel.

It is biased AF though, so avoided.

I checked, started in 1998.

And they ran with any and EVERY lurid rumor imaginable, including the "Clinton Body Count."

They haven't changed one bit, they are absolutely off the deep end.
