perhaps you've heard of newsmax perhaps even seen a bit of newsmax that. network that's basically program for one viewer. even though he is just one of millions of retirees, living in florida. weather is trouble in that florida paradise, or more accurately trouble on sixth avenue in manhattan. that's because newsmax, is going directly after fox news, for being too liberal. and they're doing, this out loud and in public. >> welcome back to american, agenda fox news facing more backlash today filing a series of recent controversy. michael carter brings us the latest on fox going broke. >> so, wouldn't fade your fox news personalities think about the way house press secretary? chris wallace hairs from the news division, where factual news judgment is supposed to take precedence over one's own political and personal suspect. >> jen psaki is one of the best press secretaries. over >> fox news often says it's ports of propriety of perspectives, five-day earlier tucker carlson and nothing but insults for sake. >> here's this little grouchy flak, today almost impo

as you mentioned, i host a show on newsmax every night at 6:00. i've called him to talk about coming on the show. we've caught up on issues and people we share an interest in. sometimes it's literally just to catch up. i was in new jersey three, four, five, six weeks ago, i called him on my way, i said, i'm going to be near you, i don't know if you're around. we caught up on the phone. there's plenty of times we just pick up the phone and call. but there's no set pattern. host: do you think the former president will run again? guest: doivment. host: you do. what advice are you giving to him on that? guest: i've learned a listening time ago you don't necessarily give president trump advice. he hasn't asked for it. i think that, you know if you look at the rallies he's held and the poll that was come out, there's no question that he has a tight grip on the republican party. it's not just the base. you're seeing numbers as high as the mid 80's. there's a lot of support for him to run again, especially -- after what we see now, i think that this first

yes, there's oan, yes, there's newsmax, yes, they have splintered off even farther, farther right. when you talk about propaganda, it's so much more effective if there's only one place to go and fox news has created that. the history you gave was dead on. you hit all the key points. the recount, 9/11, the war in iraq. when stephanie grisham talks about we go on fox news and they don't ask us tough questions, they're the propaganda for the gop, to me that's fox news circa 2014. what you described, what this country is now facing with the pandemic, which has revealed and both broken these people, is beyond description. fox news has -- we'll never know how many people fox news killed. off the top of my head, 100,000 i think is a reasonable estimate. and, you know, we've all talked about it being a cult, it being brainwashing and people used to shake their heads. you can't talk about the media who you talk about brain wash, it's just a conservative outlet. it's brainwashing and it's a cult because lives are at stake. this is not about immigration, this is not about tax reform, it's not

it is important to note newsmax did subsequently issue a retraction, and apology. they settled their part of the defamation lawsuit. now, guys, our team, we reached out to attorneys for rudy giuliani, sydney powell, the trump campaign, no response. of course, they all want this defamation suit dismissed. the court in colorado still deciding exactly what to do. but we're going through these troves of documents and they're showing that sydney powell and rudy giuliani, they just went on television. they just held these press conferences spouting these false claims without ever really looking into them and not really caring about the fact that they were false. >> they're lawyers. they know you're not just allowed to do that. right. this isn't just negligence. >> yeah. and sydney powell has been sanctioned by a judge for these false claims and there could be a lot more to come because other state officials are seeking retribution for this. >> well -- >> unbelievable. >> more continues to come in. >> thank you for that report. we know you're continuing to look through th

i don't recall a conversation about newsmax, epic times -- >> do you have a notebook that lists newsmax and epic times as domestic terrorists as recounted by the bob woodward book "peril"? was bob woodward lying to us in the book? >> i don't know. i don't recall any conversation about epic times -- >> do you believe they are domestic terrorists -- >> no. not at all. i don't think epic times nor newsmax are domestic terrorist organizations. i believe they are -- . >> you listed the different groups are responsible for january 6. >> the gentleman's time is expired and i would note for the record i was quoted in that book. it could be a misunderstanding about what was actually said this back and forth on the committee today represents some real stress in the system about the withdrawal and what it means. but also about an interest in politicizing national security issues, which i have real issues with. can i just ask -- i think the question i get asked the most in my district about our withdrawal from afghanistan is, are we safer now than we were on september 10th 2001. and i believe, and

i don't recall a conversation about newsmax, epic times -- >> do you have a notebook that lists newsmax and epic times as domestic terrorists as recounted by the bob woodward book "peril"? was bob woodward lying to us in the book? >> i don't know. i don't recall any conversation about epic times -- >> do you believe they are domestic terrorists -- >> no. not at all. i don't think epic times nor newsmax are domestic terrorist organizations. i believe they are -- >> will you produce to this committee that you listed different groups responsible for january 6th? >> sure. absolutely. >> i yield back. >> the gentleman's time has expired. i will note for the record that i was quoted in that book as well and a lot of what i said was conflated and not 100% accurately portrayed. it does happen. just because someone says something doesn't mean it is an accurate portrayal and doesn't mean they're lying. it could be a misunderstanding about what was actually said. >> thank you, gentlemen, for being here and for the work that you've done. i think obviously the level of back and forth on the committe

. >> on newsmax, the same theme. of october. >> they are now officially, the white house has stole christmas. >> marketers call this christmas -- putting out toys earlier every year. right wing media calls it content. >> maybe that's why fauci the fri grinch tried to cancel christmas. >> but the same night, also declared there's a war on halloween because a single seattle elementary school called off the halloween parade. >> you mark my words, thanksgiving the next. presidents' day. the fourth of july. it's coming. >> it sounds like it's hard to have happy holidays with all of those threats coming. but back in the reality-based world, you go out, go to the pumpkin patch, you realize it's not even halloween yet and christmas will be just fine. we've all got a little bit of time to buy presents. >> yeah. i think fox news got run over by a reindeer, but that's just me. i don't know. brian, tucker carlson made some controversial comments about transportation secretary, i shouldn't say -- ugly, bigoted comments about pete

. >> reporter: and on newsmax, the exact same theme.r. >> they are now officially the white house that stole christmas. >> reporter: marketers call this christmas creep, putting out trees and toys earlier every year. right-wing media calls it content. they've been rerunning talking points the way hallmark reruns holiday movies. >> maybe that's why fauci the grinch tried to cancel christmas. >> reporter: but the same show on the same night also declared there's a war on halloween because a single seattle elementary school called off a halloween parade. >> you mark my words, thanksgiving is next. the fourth of july is next. it's coming. >> reporter: so happy holidays maybe? brian stelter, cnn, new york. >> very interesting. remember, now let's just take you back in time. last year postmaster general, right? you remember? louis dejoy, issues with the post office. people weren't getting their gifts on time. what did the fox propaganda network say about that? did they call the former president who was in power at the time the grinch who stol

trump tv exists, newsmax media. it's a crowded market, don't you find that, philip? this is a very crowded space. >> it is. i'm curious, there's always going to be an appetite for things that people want to hear. part of the reason facebook is so successful because people hear the things they want and then they can share that with other people as well. it's not just the algorithm but people consciously choosing to share these things. donald trump in these media spaces allows him to inject more stuff and people can amplify. he's very frustrating. i like to refer to this as the vertigo movement, jimmy stewart movie where he lost his first love, twitter, and now he's re-creating twitter because he's desperate to be back in the conversation. if nothing else, he will certainly have the direct pipeline, which can be problematic. >> all of the talk about facebook and youtube and how all of these platforms are hurting society, makes they thing if facebook didn't exist, bookface would exit. if twitter didn't exist, bitter would exist. trump will make its own platform, maybe t

they're on o.a.n., newsmax, they're on other channels that definitely aren't showing him. and i was with a republican member of the house of representatives this week who told me the most traction she gets from her voters is from those channels, the other ones, not fox, and facebook. so, i know fox is in the wrong here. but it's way worse than just one network. >> but it's created the ecosystem. and that's why -- look, we need to take this seriously right now. congress needs to pass the electoral count act. there needs to be accountability through the january 6th commission to hold rioters accountable and end any members of congress who played footsie with this stuff. there needs to be accountability that leaves a mark. otherwise we will have this again, and we need to take steps to stop the next one, now. >> i have a feeling that we're just letting these police officers down. if they were harmed in this way in any other setting, if it wasn't an insurrection, if it had nothing to do -- and you just had a bunch of cops brutalized and attacked and some of them dying as a res

i mean, certainly congressman nehls doing this on newsmax is meaningful. having replaced the tv channel that the trump base tunes into most often. he's speaking directly to that voter and that's important. but you put up on the screen some of the comments made to olivia and this is a particularly interesting cross section of the republican conference committee. it includes all the guys in that door and congressman clyde. i would sort of put them in their own camp because quite a few have law enforcement experience. they've leaned on that at times to make somewhat even judgments, but not lately, obviously. >> and gonzalez is an interesting case, too, because he was sort of viewed as an up and coming star who says he's basically bowing out, not running for re-election. the reason he isn't is because he landed in an airport with his wife and kids and had to be escorted by police because of threats from maga supporters. he was in that same little kad ra of folks at that door. >> yes, he was and he obviously has felt more free to be anti-trump in public, but al

you don't see this video on fox or newsmax. what about the trump confidantes refusing to obey subpoenas from the 16 select committee? when that's portrayed like a standoff or normal legal battle, the point is missed and normalizing is a result. as bill maher remarked the other night, the slow-moving coup is still moving, storm clouds still gathering. so this is still not normal. but often the media treats some of these events as if they are. joining me around the table here to discuss that and president biden and so much more, james fallows, author of the seminole media criticism book "breaking the news," and now the title of his substack. and also with me axios media reporter sara fischer, white house correspondent brittany shepherd and david zurawik, professor of media studieyies. you have been trying to con krall how the debt limit is covered. simply put, what has the media got wrong in this story? >> the main one is what you laid out and clearly in the introduction. there's something happening that's not normal and not a th

certainly, congressman nails doing this on newsmax, this is essentially the tp channel that the trump base tunes into most often. he's speaking to that directly to that kind of person here. you put up on the screen some of the comments that were made to, olivia and this is particularly interesting cross section of the republican conference, because it includes mullin, includes congressman gun gal gonzales, you mentioned climbers man clyde, who is the first to epitomize this, he later was relieved as the men guarding the door. i want to put them in their own camp, quite a few of them have law enforcement experience. and they've leaned on that at times. to make somewhat even judgments. but not lately obviously. >> gonzalez is an interesting case, to you sort of viewed as a star who quite famously says that he's bowing, out and not running for reelection, in the reason he is, not is because he landed in airport with his wife and kids and had to be escorted by police, because of threats from modest supporters, and he was in that same little cadre of folks at that door. >> yes he was. he o

these are on newsmax and onn and streamed all over the place. and they continue to place new restrictions on voting rights with local radio hosts and commentators providing all of the rhetorical cover this season. the savvy ones say it's about voter integrity. the cuter ones say it's been making sure real americans are heard and illegals are not. even if republicans are charged with illegal voting, even when it's republicans doing it, they claim democrats are the real criminals. in the right media echo chamber the world democrats con flag rated constantly so the other side loses legitimacy bit by bit. the gop is on board with this. they're on board with a power grab at all costs, driven by 2350er of a changing country, fear propelled by the likes of tucker carlson and laura ingraham, who bring up things like caravans right at key moments during the election. and all of this in 2022 help the gop regain control of the house. members of the january 6th sedition caucus are now in control of the body that completes the electoral process. some democra

similar things or already have, it is a warning shot, for example, the right-wing news outlets like newsmaxnd lying about people or our voting systems or fanning the flames of conspiracy that have led many to lean into violence in the insurrection. free speech protects many, many things. it does protect objectionable ideas. it does not protect malicious defamation or acts which directly incite violence. it is an update we wanted to give you on an important story. we have a lot more on "the beat" tonight. as mentioned shar la main the god is here later. we go first to haiti amid this migrant crisis, an important story. stay with me. important story. stay with me o their parents. can you believe how many different types of water they have in this aisle? kim, did you just change blades back there? -ah. -this is perfect. jackpot. variety pack. remember, it's a football game, not a play date. roger that. one more slice. it can be a lot. oh, good, the manager. uh, brian in produce -- very helpful. progressive can't save you from becoming your parents, but we can save you money when you bundle hom

he's also been a fairly regular gas and outlets like newsmax and fox news, depending police conduct,s should be allowed to use things like chose holds interests. >> the head lack is the very same city council speaker minute mayor de blasio are trying to implement, where for the police officer did, that he would be arrested. it's time that this city holds those politicians accountable. they are tying the hands of the police officers. they do not want us to be out there making these arrests. >> you made a scene directly behind him in that interview, maybe even notice that the internet certainly. did a mug with the qanon logo on it. the conspiracy that claims the world is run by satanic cabal of child abusing a. leads mostly democrats. he said it wasn't's office, even though he's done multiple interviews from the same location. even before today's federal, raid mullins was under internal investigation, by the nypd, after he tweeted in 2020 quote. mayor de blasio, the members of the nypd are declaring war on you. then during last summer's protest, after george floyd's, murder mullins twe

for example, congressman madison cawthorn went on newsmax, last week, and said this >> this is a medicalpartheid, plain and simple >> yeah. >> there's over 100 million americans who are not vaccinated i think it's even more than that and if they want to start shutting down air travel for these people to get around the country, i think there's actually a constitutional violation, because you actually have a constitutionally protected right to free, unrestricted travel within the united states of america and i genuinely believe that what's going on right now is that all that's gonna happen if united airlines and american airlines and delta, even - >> yeah. >> -- if they decide to start requiring vaccine mandates, let me tell you, i'm very confident there will be another air carrier that will come to the field -- >> yeah. >> -- and patriots like myself, and you, will give them all of our business >> seth: yes everyone knows you have a constitutional right to unrestricted air travel. who can forget paul revere's famous words, "one, if by land, two, if by sea, three, if by southwest with a si

naval reserve, who apparently has his own show on newsmax now.was outraged by the explanation for his removal given by current white house press secreatary, jen psaki. first, let's see psaki's answer. >> is there any concern that because a lot of these appointees do go across administrations that there is a risk of politicizing these non-traditional and non-controversial positions. >> well, i will let others evaluate whether they think kellyanne conway and sean spicer and others were qualified or not political to serve on these boards, but the president's qualification requirements are not your party registration. they are whether you're qualified to serve, and whether you're aligned with the values of this administration >> seth: okay, you could agree or disagree, but it seems perfectly calm, perfectly reasonable now let's check in on how spicer's doing >> i'm announcing, tonight, for the first time, that i will not be submitting my resignation, and i will be joining a lawsuit to fight this. maybe it's because they want to inject liberal ideolog

trump, instead, recruited fox news, newsmax, one america network and used social media platforms likeuivalent of the tv and radio tower. he directly messaged the 88 million people who followed his account to propagate self-serving narratives and blatant lies. social media helped him mobilize his supporters into action. that was a dynamic that was present through his entire candidacy, but it maybe didn't reveal itself for as dangerous as it had become until the pandemic when his supporters were sort of parroting his liberate virginia, liberate michigan sentiments and when january 6th happened and with the mission statement of hanging mike pence, they stormed the united states capitol. how do you turn back the tide of that power of propaganda when it's tied to a leader like donald trump, who as you said, will not exit stage left? >> yeah, look, it's very difficult. i think we're actually making some headway right now, in fact, thanks to frances haugen and the whistle-blower for facebook. she's pointed out to everyone how these social media platforms use algorithms that, in fact, enable

that is the same with fox news or newsmax.no one is there to strike down these lies that these people are telling, americas -- americans will believe things they are saying. host: during the segment, we aired several points that were in opposition to his own and several callers thoughts. we also expect people to be good consumers and investigate and analyze what people are saying, especially when we invite them on this program. but go ahead and finish your thought. caller: that's what i'm saying, pedro. i'm just saying people need to be able to strike down when people are telling american people lies. a lot of people believe in these things that they are saying, which are not true. host: ok. we invite people with political stripes all across the board to let people who give their opinions on certain topics and people can take in what they are saying or not and analyze and investigate what they are saying as well. this is from melissa in las vegas on our independent line. caller: hi. i have a problem with a lot of the back bett
