Newsmax is a Republican-oriented global news portal run by hack journalist and conspiracy theorist[1] Christopher Ruddy.

Newsmax principally lives on the Internet on news site sidebars. Its website is dominated by shock news,[2] moral outrage,[3] conspiracies,[4] and trashy advertising for dubious "get rich quick" schemes, quack medicines/workout programmes, and publications that feature ads for similar products.[5] Some of this is regurgitated monthly in print form, though is seldom seen at news stands.

Newsmax is popular with the type of people who read WorldNetDaily; both outlets feature similar world views of a idealised conservative God-fearing America besieged by godless libruls, filthy sodomites, evil terrorists, and diseased illegal aliens. However, they managed to even out-wingnut WND when one of their contributors called on the military to overthrow Obama in a coup,[6] saying that it would "restore and defend the Constitution." Yes, removing a President elected by the largest margin in decades and replace it with a junta would restore the Constitution.

Distinguished contributors to Newsmax include David Limbaugh (brother of Rush), Michael Reagan (the adopted son of Saint Ronnie), "Doctor" Laura Schlessinger, and (Quack) Doctor Russell Blaylock.
