@newsmax.com pay up bitches! Next time, don't commit defamation.

Good. They needed to be held accountable.

And people still watch this tabloid TV? Geez open your eyes

MSNBC & CNN fake news? Then why did Fox and Newsmax settle for LYING about 2020 election fraud? Fuck you MAGA.

Because MSNBC & CNN did not make false statements. The voting system manufacturer claimed NEWSMAX channel made false statements about the company.

Which they did.

In all truth though, all they did was repeat what Fox News was saying, they didn't even double check them or have anyone on the story. They admitted that right right off the bat.

There's a quote by Jonathan Foster which applies to this very situation: “If someone tells you it's raining and another tells you it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. It's your job to look out the fucking window and find out which is true.”

Doesn’t matter where they got it from.. Bullshit is always bullshit !!

Right

“ Fake news” in authoritarian dictatorship governments eventually evolve in lawsuits, ( think CBS the Associated Press, NPR, PBS, and the Wall Street). So, financial pressure, legal restrictions, and direct censorship. It’s classic Nazi ploys.

Only their boy called the enemy Lügenpresse, a bit more perjorative in claiming that the news was not so much fake as the news reporters were creating lies. Like Fox news, for instance.

Chicken feed when you can manipulate the stock market on a daily basis.

This literally made me throw up. He's dusgusting. 🤢 Omg.

It should have been more $$$. $67M doesn’t seem like enough.

Just once I'd like to see someone take them to trial so they can't do the "admitted no liability" dodge.

So little?

Too bad it wasn't enough to drive them out of business completely.

Thou Shalt not Lie, like MAGA, according to their Bible...

Dominion has made out big, just by suing morons who lie. Why can't we do that with the Liar-In-Chief?

The usa are really the worst of all. It invented a thing called "settlement" which the whole world sees at "We are guilty and paying money to show for it." thinking people may believe they may or not be guilty.

Fines or settlements mean little; wealthy upper-class supporters can still fund misinformation campaigns. Misinformation benefits those in power, so they will assist Newsmax financially. Are there any legal actions to shut it down?

Wouldn’t that be LIE-Max???🤔🤔🤷🏽

Not enough money.

Now use that $ to send National Guard to OH, TX, FL and SC

Do the right thing Dominion. Contribute a big chunk of that settlement to NPR.

Newsmax LIED! Good-bye, credibility. Newsmax is Fake News. They paid dearly for that label.

And Trump will probably create a subsidy to pay them back of course

Free speech is guaranteed by our First Amendment rights*! *Lying, however, is VERY expensive.

🦜🇵🇾🤥 Trump parrots Putin's lies regarding mail-in ballots 🚨 bsky.app/profile/that...

I wonder when we'll start seeing Newsmax professional liars head federal depts. Fox has 30+ so far.

That’s what happens the Newsmax when you lie

Dominion should have bankrupted their ass.

Fucking liars! Should be more!!

I wish a reporter would bring this up when he starts ranting about the rigged 2020 election

How is a piece of crap like Newsmax worth anything?

That shithole of stupid doesn’t have $6700

That’s what “innocent” pieces of shit do! The damage he was done.

Funny. Only those "Telling the Truth" cable News end up paying (FoxNews $787M & still other pending) - along w/ Newsmax. While others like MSNBS, CNN, etc. Not even indicted & paying nothing? Who is telling the truth to their views. Evidence is shown.

Newmax couldn't be happier with this outcome... bsky.app/profile/aste...

So roughly $1 BILLION now paid out by fascist propaganda outlets posing as "news". Because they spread lies.

They got off light, should have been a much larger settlement

The individual "journalists" who churn out the lies should be sued as well. The sickos in Satan's choir are every bit as guilty as the choir-masters.

In other words, a "news" organization LIED. Politico, you may use those words with my permission

Well deserved. It's excellent to see justice done!

Ya think?

Can we give it back to Mexico? How much could we pay them to take it back?

Frankly $67m is too little! Bearing in mind the damage caused to their reputation and the costs involved in unwinding the harm those lies caused to the reputation of their business in something as serious as democracy.

We still don’t know how much Newsmax settled with Smartmatic for in 2024. Too bad they aren’t a public company so we could look at their financials for a clue to the amount… Both cases were settled just before the trial(s) were about to start. Very telling. Chris Ruddy can kiss my ass.

Way too little compared to what FOX paid. Settlement should include a daily/hourly retraction that they lied, and make it everyday for 2 years with billboard apologies. It should’ve been the condition for FOX too. The country & world needs to know they lied …everyday.

this may sound crazy, but $67 million is cheap if it provides cover for Elon Musk actually stealing the 2024 election for Trump. maybe they weren’t smart enough to come up with a scheme to get all Democrats and media outlets chanting in unison that US elections can’t be stolen? shoe fits though…

Newsmax agreed to a $67M settlement, but at the same time defended its coverage as “fair, balanced, and conducted within professional standards of journalism." Maybe they meant 'fair & balanced' only to their MagaHead viewers.

Its pronounced "fear and biased."

Sounds like they haven't learned a thing. Settlement should have been for more money.

It should be more. They should lose their broadcast license for the intentional lies they propagate.

Cable channels neither have nor need broadcast licenses.

They lied!!!! Another lying fake media outlet!

As far as I'm concerned. The CEO of News Max should be back in court for his statement. Either he doesn't understand what the court said or he should be paying for spreading false claims.

Is it just me that thinks this is way too little?

“The actions taken against Newsmax, and earlier against Fox News, represent a direct attack on free speech and a free press,” Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said in a statement. Then why did you settle? Grow a pair and fight for your free speech. Fucken liars.

😂😂😂losers & liars

Newswack deserve it.

BREAKING: Putin and the country of Russia totally controls the President of the United States - this is an unbelievable moment in US history

Alex Acosta is on the Newsmax board.

Payout to keep the truth from coming out

It's not enough money and they should have to tell the idiots that watch them that they lied through their teeth about the 2020 election on every propaganda show they broadcast. Not that it will matter to their viewers, because they don't watch that to learn facts or get the news.

Triple it

Dominion Voting Systems deserves Every. D*mned. Penny. ... and then some more. I'm glad they sued. Frankly, as a for-profit company, they really didn't have a choice.

That's it?

Why isn t all the lying allowed

How proud maga is now that the “fair and balanced” -obvious LIES- “Newsmax” is now also entertainment only Fauxnewsmax

I hope this puts them out of business. But you can be sure, fascist billionaires like Peter Theil and the Koch Brothers will probably keep them afloat.

This Dominion thing was horrible.. Newsmax destroyed people’s reputations and tried to ruin their lives.. and it was flagrant

Nicolle Wallace had the nerve to crow about this today when her own lies cost MSNBC millions in damages.

needs to happen more often. So-called news networks need to be held accountable for the disinformation and peddling of conspiracy theories. Repeat repeat repeat

If Trump can sue networks and cable outlets for telling the truth, Americans can sue them for aiding and abetting republican lawlessness. A trillion dollars each should get the job done.

our president is a Pedophile, and the republicans, conservatives and the MEDIA are Protecting him!! PROTECTING him!!! #pedophilepresident –

For doing their part to destroy democracy in America. The cost if their sedition was far higher than $67M.

It makes me laugh my arse off when propaganda peddling ‘news’ channels like Newsmax think it’s fine to lie to people, feeding them an endless stream of disinformation to further their own agenda, and then hide behind claims of attacking free speech when they are held to account for their dishonesty.

Wondering what rt winger is paying that on their behalf? The lies spewed as News influence are more valuable LT to that cause than a court case proving no liability --clearly. Pls follow up to see who pays, if and when.

🤣🤣🤣

The MAGA takeaway should be: "They're feeding us a line of shit."

I would have loved to be on that jury

F these lawsuits. Remove the propagandists from the air. They can play victim on youtube w the rest.

And still people will watch this nonsense.

Follow trumps dumbass and pay pay pay…rip roaring idiots.

Fake news cost money.

Not enough

MAGA MAGATS. Only the ones still supporting! All fake news. But Fox and Newsmax settled for tens of millions! For lying pathological stations are paying now. Everything about Orange touches burns to the ground! So now is this settled or is it Fake News to? How many still out there. Extinction! ————-

www.shortfinder.com/newsmax-stoc...

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Not enough to put them off the air unfortunately. But enough to demonstrate that Newmax has ZERO CREDIBILITY. Watch to be entertained by idiots not informed by fact finders.

Should’ve been an amount that would shut them down.

Newsmax will never pay a dime. Herr Trump will protect it.

It’s not enough money

Far too low in my opinion.

😂😂😂

Doesn’t look like they have to retract their statements or admit wrongdoing.

I don’t think Newsmax has $67M. Seriously.

Everyone who told his lies has been sued and lost and yet his cult members still believe his bullshit.,

FAFO

Another far right wing outlet gets nailed!!! Well done!

How on earth does Newsmax have $67M? It's such a sloppy network.

They should have paid more

HOW ABOUT THAT!!!

Another casualty to Krasnov's lies.

They'll be back with a new bunch of outrageous lies for the next election.

Hey that's great but they successfully created doubt in the fair election system, perhaps they should be shut down so they can't damage our society any further in the name of "news". Instead they, along with Fox News get to continue to operate & recoup their losses while spreading more propoganda.

That it? Roughly 1/12th what Fox paid? Newsmax just went public. Their pockets are deep.

bsky.app/profile/abdo...

Hopefully this is just the beginning of Newsmax defamation woes

🤣🤣🤣 Why aren’t these settlements getting some sort of retraction and public announcement of false information.

Newsmax has (had) $67 million dollars? Ha!

Good but wish it were enough to put Newsmax out of business.

If they just report and NOT lie they could skip those huge fines and pay people with morals a decent amount of money to report truth and not russian propaganda Maybe they will make better decisions in the future, but fox sure hasn't and they had to pay almost a billion dollars. Stupidity should hurt

But their entire purpose is to lie.

Where is the money coming from? Do they truly have THAT many sponsors?

They don't worry about $. They're the Koch dealers of MAGA disinformation.

We need to make it known who the koch brothers are, THEY own the republican party almost as much as putin does.

Didn't one die? But yes, the Republican party is 100% owned by billionaires. The fact that Trump had a dozen billionaires stand by him at his inauguration should have made it clear to his cult that he's bought and paid for.

And this fact is why trump likes people ignorant, trumpers believe rich people are good and they deserve all the money they are hording.

They believe Republicans care about them, when they've been told for over 50 years that Republicans DESPISE anyone who's not rich.

They will lose their audience, who only want to hear lies, and hate!

I have fubo and I believe there are more than 10 right wing channels for these idiots. They can't have just one channel lying to them, they need a bunch in case one starts breaking and telling the truth.

Now we know the wages of sin. Because sociopaths and the right are defined by no empathy,loosing $ affects them far more than non-existent humanity .

The two networks that the president of the United States watches religiously, and only, both paying millions and millions and dollars in fines for lying to their audience… thanks a lot, Maga you dumb ignorant ….

Lies are illegal that harm. You just need money to sue to enforce it

PolitiCON is 🚮

Anyone who thinks 2020 was rigged but not 2016 and 2024 needs immediate help.

Sue Fox News next.

Newsmax is to news as trump to military service

My feed is filled with irony. Back to back posts. At least we still have irony.

His boss Putin told him mail in voting bad

Russia uses Mail-in ballots

You mean he's being disingenuous? Imagine that

Trump doesn’t actually think mail-in voting is bad. He knows it increases voter turnout, which is the one thing no Republican wants.

He thinks that it's bad for Him. Because increasing voter turnout IS bad for him. And for R's in general. Low turnout got him elected

This right here.⬆️

If every eligible voter voted the Republican party would cease to exist

📣📣📣📣✊

Guy who "won" 88% of the vote has advice about free and fair elections

Oh for pete's sake. Trump himself used mail in ballots when he was elected. LMAO!!!!

Not that much

It should have been more

Will Newsmax stop lying though?

Pay day 💵💰💰

That's what you get when you repeat DJT's lies.

Lying is lawful unless they have a well-organized competent legal team?

These settlements missed one thing, the “news” companies should have been forced to admit fault at the start and end of every show for two years.

He wants to do an executive order to eliminate Mail In Ballots &Voting Machines. So that eliminates the elderly, disabled& everyone else. It’s so ridiculous that in our minds he’s absurd, but in his mind he thinks there is no limit to his reach for power. It’s scary to realize how unstable he is.

And now Newsmax is encouraging companies to leave Delaware? Good luck with that.

Another Election denying right wing “News” organization gets smacked in the wallet for LYING to the American public. We warned you. We told you so.

Of course Should have been more $$ Trump is in the Epstein files MAGA is a fraud FOX is their propaganda outlet Its all bullshit And Putin loves it

Might as well be $5, this is a fucking joke

I hope smartmatic hits newsmax for $750 million like Fox

That case was settled in 2024 before it went to trial. Undisclosed settlement amount.

www.politico.com/news/2024/09...

Wow, News Max declared the proceedings were unfair and that their reporting was fair and balanced. A lie is a lie, GD!

Losemax getting exactly what they deserve!

MUST SEE: On August 9th 2025, a panel at DEF CON 33 Voting Village presented multiple ways to hack the Dominion ICX Touchscreen SQL database: Hacking the Voter & Hacking the Vote Count. This video demonstrates how simple Hacking the Voter is on the Dominion ICX Touchscreen. youtu.be/zaqx8hI2bm8?...

No amount of reparation can offset the loss of trust in the integrity of the election itself 😥😡

Which means the evidence was probably overwhelmingly in favor of Dominion. Kinda wish they didn’t settle and put Newsmax out of business.

Oh but wasn't the election STOLLEN????

Never will it stop any damn shit

I am thrilled for Dominion

They will still lie because that is their business. They might be a little more careful

Newsmax NMAX stock dropped 95% from 52-week high @ 264.90 to 13.68. Trump Media & Technology Group DJT dropped 67% from 52-week high @ 54.68 to 18.42. MAGA - How glorious is that ? 💪

The best evidence we have about the 2020 "election lie is the court records. Conald Trump and his goons lost all but 1 small case and lost over 60. After 5 years still NO evidence. Now this Newsmax $67 MILLION settlement is yet another legit piece of evidence. Stop believing fairy tales.

note: my screenshot is of Copilot and I understand it shows 4 wins but nothing that changed the outcome that Biden won. I went off of what Grok ai on X stated when I asked the same question. Both ai's showed Biden clearly won. Just like the Newsmax lawsuit loss.

All the folks who lied about Doninion need more suing Much more, we need individual anchors at Fox News and other major networks to also be sued for this

Trump is ranting against fraudulent voting machines, he only wants good voting machines. If his media outlets repeat his claims, they will have to continue to pay out millions in settlements. This should be fun.

🤬 $67M settlement is peanuts

If Newsmax is not ordered by the courts to retract the false statements on air and apologize openly to Dominion, then the settlement is not complete. The bird brain MAGA cult audience need to hear and know that Newsmax lied.

The retraction should be on repeat so that, hopefully, it will sink into the Maga's bird-brains!

Some things are simply not possible. The inability to understand is beyond the ken of anyone that watches Newsmax.

True!

Good to hear.. the lying bastards should be sued into oblivion..as should the Fox propaganda network.

And yet... does the fake Newsmax have to broadcast for the next year that they bore false witness against Dominion Voting Systems... or will they even whisper it on their web site company blog... 🤨

🤔

In a statement, Newsmax defended its coverage as “fair, balanced, and conducted within professional standards of journalism.” Uhhh sure Jan

And maga's will continue to believe every lie they spread, just like FOX viewers.

👏👏👏👏👏🫡

Now use that $ to send National Guard to OH, TX, FL and SC

Just like fox, lying mofos

“ newsmax” 67mil smack and finally bankruptcy court orders Alex Jones Still liquidate. Now this is what’s really called winning 🥇 can’t wait to Alex win a shopping cart and cardboard sign reading “ insane heartless conspiracy nut and hungry”

😂😂😂😂 🖕nm

Words have consequences.

It's amazing to think that even tho Newsmax and Fox News had to pay millions of dollars to settle their defamation cases, you'd assume they that they'd lose most of their viewers - Not so much with the Trumpers! They've gotten so used to listening to Trump's lies, They tend to believe anything!

HAHAHAHA! BaHahaha! HA!!

Fuck those Nazi's take the money please

OK, so they DID defame the voting system company....exactly what we knew...they are NOY news

Should be more.

If I were Dominion, I'd agree to a lower settlement on the condition they admit to lying and publicly apologize.

Also it's a bird in the hand, which is way better than having to win a jury trial to get paid

It's not about the money. It's about restoring their name and reputation. The best way to do that is to compell the slanderer to admit to the slander.

I read that they (Newsmax) settled because they ‘believed’ they had a biased judge. Not a lot of contrition, unsurprisingly.

They built a viewer base of obnoxiously toxic people who see admitting you were wrong as a sign of weakness. It's part of why I would have demanded the admittance of guilt and apology.

Agree.

It's a huge settlement for Newsmax's size. What needs to be watched is how its paid. If they're forced to pay it out of their own revenues, it's quite damaging, but unlike Fox it's a lot easier to hide larger sums of money from benefactors

It will most likely be paid by their insurance company.

You know, I didn't even think of that. But I'd be watching their inflows like a hawk

Is Smartmatic also suing? If I recall, they were suing Fox behind Dominion.

you know what I know on that. Smartmatic came in way behind Dominion so i think after dominion settled it just fell out of the media coverage... but the trial had just started right? i feel like they were really far apart. But everything feels like 10 years ago right now lol

There you go ...all professional & well informed! 😏

Probably not. No insurance I've ever noticed has agreed to insure against criminal acts by the insured.

Okay, journalist here. The insurance we carry is for exactly this. This is a civil act btw, and a settlement. While they'll likely fight it out in court, the insurance will cover at least a portion of this settlement depending on how much coverage they purchased. It's literally called Libel...

..insurance by the industry. People don't realize how easy it is to libel somebody. Did it 17 years ago on a sloppy mistake that cost me my job. Their problem then was they never bothered to carry it which was not my problem, but was a concern for them if they would have been sued.

There is libel as a result of ignorance or incompetence sure. But this is libel as a business plan. I can't say I know the details, but I'd be horribly surprised if Libel Insurance covers willful acts of malice.

That gets fought out in arbitration/courts between the insurance provider and the insured though. And since this was a settlement, it's a bit different. Probably has that clause that every settlement has "this is neither an admission of guilt nor innocence," etc. In many settlements, the plaintiff

is just looking to get paid, so they're not going to fight on the semantics.

All true. As I said, I am not a journalist. I am surprised any insurer would accept the Punitives that come with a showing of malice. A settlement prevents a finding in court yes. I cannot imagine someone taking on a 178 million dollar cost based on Customer malice (Fox).

According to NY Times, they’re paying in 3 instalments with the final one due in January 2027

Newsmax made $171 million in 2024 on a $72 million loss. So, right there explains the terms, they have no money to pay. Their insurance is about to skyrocket. This might be the beginning of a long protracted collapse of the network, unless they find revenue quick.

Heh.

I was thinking the same thing. Follow the money.

Yeah, true, but there may also be big (dark, corp or bit-coin), money behind NM willing to help them pay this.... after a lot of stalling of course, they want to avoid loosing any interest bearing days.😏

These lies cost Americans billions

Ok now can we see the Epstein files ?

Can we sue the people that watched and believed this crap also?

Oooohhh....so mail in ballots weren't the problem after all.

Good.

claimed? looks like it was proven that they did

Who would of thought that getting into the voting machine business would be so lucrative?🤑

Let me guess. They didn’t have to admit any wrongdoing? This system is such a bad joke.

They got off easy

Yes but think about it. What’s the cost to destroy democracy. That fine does not change the damage done to idiots who believe this shit.

They knew they would lose bigly at trial.

They also need to banned them from using News as their brand. Like Fox News, but claimed to be entertainment show and that people not to take them seriously

Should have been more $$$$$

📌

Fox and Newsmax paid the price for lying to the public but the lies just keep coming. How large does the settlement need to be to stop bad behavior?

Just in time now that Trump talk is about monkeying with the midterms. This needs to be broadcasted everywhere.

Fox 787 million newsmax 67 million but white folkes still watch them how stupid

Hahahahaha 😂🤣😅

They need to take “News” out of the name of their network. I hear Max is now available.

Hardly seems like enough...

NEWSMAX APOLOGIZE, NOW AMERICANS NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NEWSMAX.

The problem with Newsmax is the Epstein files.
