Newsmax says it will refer to Biden as president-elect
Source: The Hill
Startup conservative network Newsmax confirmed Tuesday its reporters and anchors will refer to Joe Biden as president-elect during news coverage going forward.
"As a result of the Electoral College vote Joe Biden is the president-elect and will be referred to as such on Newsmax," a spokesperson for the media company told The Hill. "We also recognize President Trump continues to contest the results and we will cover aspects of that news story."
The new statement from the pro-Trump media outlet comes less than a day after an anchor on the network called Biden president-elect twice during a segment.
Newsmax is one of the few media outlets which did not project Biden as the winner of the presidential election in the days following Nov. 3.

Given Newsmax's success in attracting viewers from Fox News by telling them that Trump actually won the election, Newsmax is starting a new sports venture:

When executives are calling all the shots it's not really news that you are reporting.

a tool of the Deep State, according g to Trumpettes. Thats what happened to Fox when they started being somewhat reasonable with reality.
Where will Trumps supporters go now?

Yellow journalism at it's finest - although that is still too nice of a term for them.
