Newsmax Media
reviews and complaints

Why is the company called Newsmax? Love watching and listening to Rob Finnerty and Shara Mc Bride delivering news and opinion. WHY do you have the BIMBO Alex Kramer delivering anything. She’ more concerned with leaning into the camera to deliver facial expressions and giggles and promote her own image. Between the long fingernails the hair the makeup etc, she’s what we call in the industry,

“An early call for Makeup and Wardrobe. She should be walking the sidelines for espn, or working for Entertainment Tonight.

Last question. WHO IS SHE SLEEPING WITH AT NEWSMAX?

She seems as though she’s the character from the eagles song. DIRTY LAUNDRY

As someone deeply invested in staying informed, I've had a rollercoaster experience with NewsMax Media, Inc. While the platform offers a refreshing conservative perspective, the recent shift towards paid subscriptions has left me questioning its integrity. The app's technical glitches, lackluster customer service, and repetitive content have dampened my enthusiasm. Despite standout commentators like Greg Kelly and Chris Salcedo, the network's direction seems uncertain. I appreciate the effort to provide an alternative to mainstream media, but the current issues are hard to ignore. NewsMax, please address these concerns to regain the trust of your loyal viewers.

These reporters risk their careers to give honest and actual news. This channel is so refreshing from all those other networks on regular television I just wish it was available to more viewers who are not able to pay for cable. People want to know real honest news, not fake or false news. I am so disappointed that reporters are so corrupt and take sides. Reporters are supposed to give "HONEST NEWS" so that the people can make their decisions accordingly Reporters are not supposed to take peoples rights to FAIR new. So thank you so much to NEWSMAX for your HONEST and FAIR news. There is still hope out there for the USA.

I changed over to Newsmax and OAN from FOX for News and commentary. I find Newsmax and OAN to be straight forward in their reporting on both national and international news. I especially enjoy Greg Kelly, he tells it like it is, no sugar coating and does not try to be politically correct. I enjoy his interviews with people and his analysis of daily events. Having worked in the white house in a previous life he can give a great perspective on what really happens and what is a fabrication by the main stream media. Thanks to Newsmax and OAN for some credible reporting, really appreciate the information provided in the various shows.

I don't understand some of the reviews on here. Some are laughable. They are FAR FROM being leftist/liberal. If your a leftist/liberal then yea you might be butthurt. If you are conservative/republican and don't agree with a few things then you are not a true conservative/republican. Its free speech. They have a variety of people on the show. When I first watched they didn't. I am glad they have Demo/libs on now and then. I see a lot of people that no longer can have conversations because they think everyone has to agree with them. At least they report everything unlike the rest of MSM. My OPINION if all you want to do is complain then go watch MSM and be a miserable person.

I just recently discovered Newsmax & it is the greatest news source on the Planet. Fox was once great but now it is worse than CNN. CNN at least admits to being the far left liberal creatures they are but Fox pretends to be conservative. After Trump was so good to them they jumped ship when things got hot. Even Kilmeade joined the "Rats". If Chris Wallace, "Fatboy Stirwalt, Roly Poly Cavuto, Juan Williams & the rest of the rats show up at your door (Newsmax) looking for a job show them the door, THE BACK DOOR! I believe this will happen soon because as soon as the rats began spewing their hatred toward Trump they slipped from 1st place to 3rd place & I predict will go to the bottom. Very quickly.

Its about time a network presents news and facts to back it up. Instead of the group think propaganda spewed out daily by the democrat PR wing pretending to be unbiased news media. Its astounding how all the usual suspects, CNN NBC MSNBC ABC all have the exact same talking points every night, regurgitated in exactly the same catch phrases. Like..."it was a violent armed deadly insurection"... repeated over and over on all of them. Truth is it was not ARMED, or deadly [ unless you count the only death, an innocent unarmed vet woman killed by cop] or an insurection. Proof? NO INSURECTION CHARGES or FELONY GUN charges on any of 750 arrested. 99.9% are simple TRESPASING. News should be factual. Not intended to sway viewers. KODOS to NEWSMAX for doing a fair and equal newscast. Keep up the good work..

Yes Newsmax is mostly fake news. But CNN, MSNBC, all late night talk shows, anything Hollywood related is more biased and deceptive than newsmax. You hateful violent liberals can't give Trump credit for cleaning up obama's failed foreign policies, such as turning Libya into a terrorist headquarters, starting a civil was in Syria that cost millions of live and immigrations crisis, allowing N. Korea to become a nuclear missle armed country, allowing the flood of heroin into USA from Mexico. Not to mention obozo never once, not even once had one year of over 3% growth. Face it,,, Pay attention Liberals,, FACE IT, you may not like Trumps tweets,, but he is doing a fantastic job. Facts dont lie, Syria has not used chemical weapons on its people since Trump bombed them, obama didnt have the guts to back up his word. And just look at you home values, your stock, 401k, new job creation, unemployment. All a result of Trump removing obozos job killing regulations. Face it,, just say Thank You.

I started watching NewsMax about a year ago as I like to sample all cable network news channels. I mostly watch MSNBC and Fox News to get a wide range of views. On election night, I flipped to each network to get their perspectives and I noticed something at Fox News was different. It appeared that management wanted a quick decision as the focus was to prematurely declare Biden the winner of Arizona when President Trump had a significant lead, and the winner was clearly uncertain. As of the writing of this review, NewsMax is the only cable network that has not declared Biden the winner due to the filed lawsuits by the Trump campaign and the fact that many swing states have not finished counting. It is refreshing to see a network that does not sensationalize the election and is waiting for a definitive resolution before making a call. I will watch NewsMax as my right leaning source, replacing FoxNews. I truly believe the independent perspective of NewsMax will make the network the leading cable network surpassing Fox News within the year. Bravo NewsMax!

There are three different reasons why I switch from Fox news. Number one I cannot understand why they have JuanWilliams on. The man will back any liberal cause or opinion to the point of sounding ridiculous and stupid! Second, when they hired Donna Brazille I was stunned. Why is it that Fox news thinks they have to have all these liberal hosts on when all the other stations would never think of having a conservative on their staff. So therefore I don't think I have any channel that I can listen to and that's when I turned to newsmax. Third, when Neil cavuto jumped all over Trump because Trump was promoting using hydrochloriquinas something we should try to combat clothing with since at the time we had nothing else. Cavuto just laid into him and called him extremely irresponsible and blah blah blah. It got so I couldn't watch cavuto without wanting to throw up! I have told everyone I know about newsmax and a lot of people have switched over and I think newsmax for their unbiased reporting and hope to God that they never turned into Fox Junior.If they ever did that I would be looking for another news source once again. All the hosts on newsmax are really good and very professional and you guys have done a good job building up your company to such a high level

Virtually no other place but NEWSMAX, will you see video of radical terrorist muslims on TV. Most networks won't show you, because the Liberals fear it will insight people against muslims. Newsmax believes you should see what is really going on in the world and in our country! They report the facts. They are much like Trump! They tell it like it is.
The Liberals have shut down free speech on many a college campus. Any view other than their own liberal socialist bias, they seek to banish and destroy to prevent others from exercising their free speech. You can witness this by their attempts to stop Trump from speaking at his own conventions. NEWSMAX, will just keep getting bigger and better, as they expose liberal bias reporting, and show viewers what the liberals don't want them to see. "THE FACTS" With only a few conservative news networks available on television, the liberals are still furious. Because within only a few years, the majority of citizens in the USA have learned by watching these conservative news sources, just how liberally biased the entire main stream media actually is. These liberal stations have continually lied to the American people for decades, with no one to expose them. BUT NO MORE! Now these liberals are being held to account, and they are crying and screaming and gnashing their teeth. These Liberal Socialists seek to destroy anyone and everyone that exposes their liberal bias and lies. But it's not working. Their programs are not working. The socialist liberal nirvana they promised is finally being seen for what it is. A COMPLETE FAILURE. NEWSMAX will pull the curtain off these liberals socialists, and show you who they really are, and what they are up to. GO NEWSMAX!

CBS, ABC, NBC Just to name a few doesn't share the real news well they do but only from the left. Growing up I'm 48 years old now I learned that journalism is not supposed to have your opinion. It's all right to have an opinion but when reporting to the American public no opinion should be involved. And if you do add a statement you should say this is my opinion after you tell the actual and factual story. Newsmax does this. They have both Democrats, Republicans talk about both sides of their opinion but they report the news. There's many things that even happen in the world in the United States of America and the mainstream news media is not even covering it. I saw some really big stories that Americans would want to hear about that were on Newsmax. So I switched to other channels figuring they had to be covering this it was so big. Too many to mention. They actually didn't cover any of it which amazed me. If there's an important piece of news or a story that comes out that the American public would be interested in every news channel should cover it. If the left-wing media doesn't agree even though they're not supposed to let them off of their opinion at the end of the story but at least cover it. I used to always watch channel 7 and channel 11 News I haven't watched them in over a year now. I prefer newsmax and also Fox 5. Our news Max I love Greg Kelly 10pm Est and Rob Schmidt 8pm Est. They are my favorites. On Fox News I love Hannity 9pm Est and Tucker Carlson at 8pm Est. I DVR on my shows so I can watch them all. Again my point is Newsmax happens to be rated number four I'm sure they'll move up to number two very soon but have a discontinued by AT&t and DirecTV. Thank God I don't have either I deal with Comcast in Florida and had Verizon FiOS in New York City. If I did have them I would cancel them both right away. If you believe in Republican values you believe in the truth you believe in freedom of speech and you continuously keep either DirecTV or AT&t you're voting for the Democrats for the left for the progressive for the Marxists the fascist among other things. When spending your money vote with your money cancel Direct TV and AT&t as soon as you can be a part of the fight not the problem. I think most Americans are getting sick at this point over what's going on in our current environment. Freedom of speeches being taken away. The DOJ and FBI have been weaponized and work directly for the president when they're supposed to be separate. Merrick Garland disregards all orders from the House of Congress which is unbelievable since if the attorney general disregards Congress they can have the sergeant in arms arrest him and hold him until all of their questions are answered It hasn't been done since the 30s but it can be done. This is where the GOP makes me upset They need to grow some you know what. I am a Republican I used to be a Democrat but what I notice about the Republican party there is a lot of talk and not a lot of action. I like to see people take more action that's all. I love my country I'm happy to be here and I also know that the people that protest and complain about their freedom of speech about their freedom try going to another country. We have it the best here in the US. Of course I want President Biden to do well He's flying our plane. Why wouldn't I. Everybody should have wanted Trump to do well and supported him cuz he was flying the plane. Anyway I think that Americans have a lot to learn and I hope we could all do it together and all be friends and love one another at the end of the day there's no white there's no black there's no brown where human beings and will also Americans We should stand behind that.

Newsmax is one of the few news sources that accept the possibility of voter fraud. Most news sources won't even entertain the idea or voter fraud. Which is despicable in my eyes, cause if the tables were turned you know sources like msnbc and cnn would jump at the opportunity to prove fraud if it was Trump who won. As a matter of fact that is exactly what they did in the 2016 elections.

Generally, the network is appreciated. Greg Kelly and Chris Salcedo are positive standouts as true American patriots at Newsmax. There are others who are noteworthy as well. Bianca de la Garza is a breath of fresh air displaying complete composure under any and all circumstances. She’s the complete package - beauty and brains. You’re lucky to have her. My concern is that hints characteristic of mainstream news organizations seem to be slowly surfacing at Newsmax. I hope this is not a trend toward the beginnings of Newsmax morphing into another mainstream network ala Fox.

I have been a loyal follower of NEWSMAX since I switched from Fox several years ago. Now, Newsmax has abandoned we Trump followers just like Fox. Yesterday with the ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court, not one of the news channels gave Trump a response consideration. He had a rally last evening in Iowa and you did show it. We want to hear what he has to say and at one time you provided that platform. Now we consider you just another silencer. We do not choose to hear your repetitive talking heads over the only chance we have to save our Nation, President Donald Trump.

I love this show and Carl Higbie’s shows. Look forward to them daily. I also love the “Wake Up America Show.”

I was unable to find an email for Chris Salcedo, and I wanted to tell him that as soon as our House and Senate are forced to live with “The Affordable Care Act” then, and only then, will things change.

Loving Newsmax+.

Keep it up as it continues to divide this country to push aside the lame conservative, evangical capitalist's who know all too well how to work the govt for themselves. Our founding fathers are laughing that we are still living by their constitution and it's long overdue to be rewritten with how we have PROGRESSED as a nation. You do know the bible was translated and put into a book form a century later! And how many times has it been redone? You seriously believe a man lived inside a whale, Noah's Ark, Virgin Mary, Adam and Eve don't have umbilical cord, a fish fed everyone and the stories goes on. Why hasn't any of this ever happened again. Come on everything we are living is a lie and many need to be decolonized from so much brainwashing. Whyte supremacy and Christianity is why this world is so FU'ed. Do you know how many Republicans cheat the system and "we the people?" It's all about money and status in the US, period. The amount of energy put into this election along with money is comical. Your channel isn't any different than any other channel pushing your own agenda and propaganda. Each channel has their own agenda all for money and ratings. Your channel isn't any different, sorry not sorry. And please don't talk as if ALL LIVES MATTER as they truly don't the way you run your station. That and in itself is truly comical. The govt has always owned us with our own earned money, why not have it work for us for once. Or just do away with it and build something better for once. This pandemic has been such a beautiful blessing and I hope we have more, as we will, because history repeats itself til the lessons are learned. You praise 45 like he is a super human. Please, he is just as FU'ed as anyone else in government and who hide behind religion claiming to be so holy. There is no doubt there was election fraud and no doubt 45 told his supporters to vote in person! Biden said to vote in person or do mail in ballots. The suppression that comes from your party for people to vote is disgusting. I hope every registered voter gets mailed a ballot from now on so EVERYONE in this country can vote. Your Crystal Clear show is hilarious and how they point out how products in big box stores come from China! Where does maga merchandise come from? This country is going down fast and it's a very beautiful thing and time to rebuild it not on lies. I know doubt feel more than 74 million voted the other party to get this nut case out. Remember always keep your enemies closer... Something 45 failed to do. Loved the Red that voted Blue this election. He is an embarrassment to our country and your channel is just as bad as MSM. SCOTUS is the best!

On June 26, 2021, I made an order for a free book called "The New Retirement Savings Time Bomb" through a Newsmax advertisement on Facebook. I paid a shipping and handling fee of $4.95 using my VISA card. The charge appeared on my account a few days later. However, during that time, I received an email from ***@latest.newsmax.com signed by *** Finance Publisher. The subject line of the email was "Your Order Did Not Process". The email instructed me to click on a link and complete the payment. Since I had already paid, I ignored the email. Within the next 2 days, I received 7 emails from ***@Newsmax.com confirming my order. Each email had a different order number and showed a Web Transaction Number: XXXXXXX. Upon closer examination of the 7 emails, it seems that the $4.95 charge was applied to a "membership" that I did not request or give consent to. This "free trial subscription" will result in annual charges of $260 if it is not canceled. I have tried to contact them through email and search their websites for a "cancellation" option, but I have been unsuccessful. I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you.

Newsmax is unresponsive to request for refund of $199, violating 60 day money back satisfaction guarantee for "Dividend Machine" newsletter. I signed up for Bill Spetrino's "Dividend Machine" investment newsletter/podcast and was charged $199 on June 5. When doing so I took note of the 60 days satisfaction guarantee, stating that I could request a refund within 60 days for any reason if unsatisfied. It didn't take long to see that Bill Spetrino spends much of his time as a Trump cheerleader, focusing on politics, even telling people that if they disagree, they should leave, "you don't belong here." He even said people who disagree should cancel their membership and he would refund them at any time. To each his own, but I didn't sign up for political views, and I definitely don't belong here. Further, I am entirely unimpressed by Spetrino's investment advice and his attitude generally. I have now made three requests for a refund within 30 days of signing up and being charged (well within the money back guarantee), and Newsmax/The Dividend Machine/Bill Spetrino hasn't acknowledged my requests nor responded.

Constantly have to login to watch it... does not retain credentials

when first subscribed there wer no problems

Now when you exit Newsmax Plus and you want to watch it again you need to login

called customer service and have not received any kind of help or feedback

regret subscribing even though we watched it all the time when it was free

they will not consider giving you a refund

they need to hire someone who can resolve this irritating issue

Newsmax would be doing itself an extreme favor by getting rid of Mike Huckabee. He is an obvious "grifter" and "charlatan" not worthy of his many appearances and ads on Newsmax. His mild demeanor is an act and is one not to be trusted in any manner. His time as Arkansas governor was additionally an abject failure. It is easy enough to confirm his record. Drop him like a "hot potato".

Subscribed to NewmaxPlus and Can not watch it. It only freezes and then repeats and seems to be stuck. My provider says it is not them. How do I watch this and get it not to spool? This happened November 14 and continues to date.

We only have internet and not cable etc. We really enjoy the programs and even though we paid only $4.99 we would like it to work.

I cannot download the APP on my SAMSUNG TVs. It is NOT available in there APP store. I left a phone message this morning and sent an email yesterday asking to cancel my subscription. The email ASW with my account is [protected]@gmail.com. Please cancel before the 15-day free trial (which we can't see either) expires. You guys need to get this fixed ASAP and put a warning on the subscription site listing the currently known limitations for downloading NewsMaxPlus. Thank you.

You have the most archaic streaming service of any provider I know. Constant interruptions and this most recent switch to plus is by far the biggest debacle I've seen. I've paid my subscription 2 days ago and couldn't receive the broadcast from my tv. Today it magically comes on then interrupts with a sign off. Proceed to sign in and its asking for me to pay a subscription again. Customer service hold times are a joke! How do you expect to play in the media field with such shotty service?

What in the world are you thinking. Millions of your News Network viewers are rural, with cable or satellite networks unavailable and have depended on Streaming your service via the Internet. You will lose Millions of "Dedicated" viewers, due to this move. These people who have been supporting you since the beginning and also are the ones responsible for your success to this point have been left out in the cold. You may pick up large numbers of Liberal, Left-Wing viewers, for short periods of time, but they are not the supporters you owe your success to. I would suggest that you figure out some path forward that will allow us to subscribe to your service, without requiring a network, cable, or satellite subscription And, you better do it FAST, or you will see Blaze, and some of the other True American Conservative broadcasters taking over the position you once held as the American Right's News Channel. Enough Said.

I cannot see Newsmax plus on my Roku TV at all. I also cannot download it to my computer. We have internet. If something is not done, I will cancel before the 15 days. My name is Marilyn Rayle. My email is [protected]@att.net. My password is AdaLeigh1959. I got the service on November 1. I have called for help four times today and no one at all calls back. This is a mess.

you have SO MANY commercial breaks that EVERY TIME I go to Newsmax channel your Newsmax logo is on with that annoying music...if your gonna have that logo instead of programming or commercials...AT LEAST put a clock count down on so we at least know how long we have to stare at the screen before the program will be on...I'm getting ready to drop your network...Real America's Voice is on air all the time with more news than your channel...At Least put a count down clock on your dead air space between programming

I heard to day that Max Schlapp has invited Robert Kennedy Jr. to speak at C-PAC, and that this will solidify more conservative's voting for him, thus taking away the vote from Donald Trump. I believe that is so, also. I know my little voice doesn't make a difference, but I am extremely upset that Max Schlapp is doing this, knowing full well it puts Trump in jeopardy for winning the presidency.

It was said that it was being done because all Republicans don't want to lose their status in Washington, I guess Max Schlapp is included in that and/or he was "Paid Off" for inviting Kennedy to speak.

I feel like we have NO PLACE TO HEAR OUR NEWS now that isn't tainted, you're becoming another FOX News.

My two favorite shows were Rob Schmitt and Chris Plante panel show, which I will no longer watch because Mercedes and Max Schlapp appear on that show consistently. I think I'm going to forego Newsmax altogether.

Very Disappointed!

There are WAY too many American Moments and other American and various clips on there. At first I really enjoyed them but now they are so repetitive it’s hard to watch. I feel it would be better to either cut back or get new ones instead of repeating the same ones over and over and over and over again. I know there must be millions to choose from.

Even though the number of complaints about Mike Lindell and My Pillow have accumulated here, it’s as if the more folks complain, the more the stations try to force his commercials down our throats.

Maybe if people stopped posting complaints and quit watching Fox News and Newsmax altogether, it might stir the stations into getting rid of Mike Lindell. I find it hard to believe that these stations take this dude seriously. I surmise they are in it for his money because they desperately need it. Sad.

There goes the psycho Mike Lindell, the my pillow guy. He’s bombarding every commercial break on both Fox News and Newsmax. Today I happen to be toggling back-and-forth from Fox News to Newsmax, and I’m telling you, nearly every time, there’s Mike Lindell again!

These two stations, Fox News and Newsmax, must be financially suffering hardship because of loss of viewership, for this Lindell freak to be taking over the commercial spots like he’s doing. Does anyone really want to look at this guy, let alone buy his crap. I rarely watch Fox News or Newsmax any longer, if at all, because of the idiocy.

Jason is another propagandist for the Democrat Party spreading lies, hate and confusion to the American people. He is a minority that without Affirmative Action would never have PHD in African American Studies . . . He is a down and dirty racist trying to be some wannabe journalist who fell far short!

He is a distractor to the "Squad" and his progressive bias is so obviousl.

The Squad would be a lot better without his pessimistic far left wing attitude!

I switched from Fox News to Newsmax after the Tucker Carlson incident, and it took two weeks for me to figure out that it was more of the same. Especially the lengthy, repetitive, insane commercials. I was hoping for a different experience than Fox News.

I also decided not to watch Newsmax regularly when Rob Schmitt at the end of his show was encouraging viewers to send a text to Newsmax about whether or not Tucker Carlson should join Newsmax. I got the feeling he was instructed to do that. Some of Schmitt’s colleagues were doing the same thing on their shows right after Tucker Carlson was fired. I think that Newsmax has used the Tucker Carlson incident as an excuse to tally how many viewers happen to be watching Newsmax shows at a certain time of day.

Considering that Tucker Carlson recently joined Twitter, with Elon Musk likely offering him a paycheck, why would Tucker Carlson join Newsmax? Tucker is famous enough to hold his own without Fox, Newsmax, etc.

After Tucker Carlson was removed from Fox News, I found the Chris Plante Right Squad to be a great replacement which I see every night. What drives me crazy is that the closing comments by Chris are never allowed to be completed. Just as he's getting to the point, NewsMax cuts him off with the next Greg Kelly show. After the interuption, there's no way I'm going to watch the following G.K show.

Are you guys following the lead of Fox?

Also, what's up with all the extremely long commercial breaks? How about raising the advertising rates and shortening these huge gaps in the program.
