You need to get rid of Jason Nichols, this guy has tsd and is on the squad and shows his ignorance by spewing anti Trump and anti American crap. How can he be a professor, the young men and women gues... See more

I can no longer watch Morning Agenda, I have to watch fox until Bianca Across the Nation is on. I can't handle another minute of ED Hill, overwhelmingly obnoxious Gene

Thank you Newsmax for moving Greta to 4:00! She had no business in prime time, she sounds more like a Democrat than a Maga person. The new lineup is way better! Now if you would cancel Jason Nichols,... See more

I hate all the commercials and how often they are repeated. Sometimes the same commercial 4 times in a roll. I turn it off and go to another network.

0 STARS - I WAS ON AIR A FEW TIMES WITH CHRIS SALCEDO AND THE CONVERSATONS WERE GOOD-HE SAID SO HIMSELF. SUDDENLY, HE WON'T TALK TO ME-HIS STAFF CAN SEE IT IS ME CALLING AND THEY EITHER IGNORE MY CALLS, A COUPLE TIMES THEY HAVE ANSWERED, ASKED ME WHO I AM, AND THEN HANG UP ON ME. AND I RECENTLY LEARNED THEY ALL LAUGH AT ME AND MAKE FUN OF ME AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY. I AM A TRUMP SUPPORTER, A CONSERVATIVE AND A PARTY OF COMMON SENSE. THEY MUST BE FAKE AND ARE ACUTALLY FAR LEFT SOCIALIST COMMUNIST NATZI'S. I EMAILED SALCEDO TODAY 9/23/24, AS HE SAYS TO ALWAYS DO THAT, AND ONCE AGAIN, IGNORED. I HAD SEVERAL GREAT COMMENS, AND HE WILL PROBABLY USE THEM AS HIS OWN ON HIS SHOW. OH WELL, THAT'S OK. I WILL NO LONGER WATCH NEWSMAX OR NEWSMAX 2 AND THE COULD CARE LESS. NOT TO MENTION HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE CALLED, SPOKE TO RUDE, INCOMPETENT, SNARKY STAFF, WHO HAVE TOLD ME FOR THE PAST YEAR SOME SUPERVISOR AMANDA WILL CALL ME. NEVER HEARD FROM LAZY AMANDA. WOW, THESE PEOPLE AT NEWSMAX 2, IN MY OPINION, ARE NO BETTER THAN THE FAKE NEWS THEY CALL OUT ALL THE TIME - THEY GOT TOO BIG FOR THEIR BRICHES. THAT CAN ALL GO AWAY FOLKS, KEEP IT UP AND YOU WILL SEE. THERE ARE MANY DATES THIS HAS HAPPENED, BUT IT WILL ONLY LET ME PUT ONE DATE IN BELOW - I BET THE FARM I NEVER HEAR BACK FROM ANYONE!

I recently joined Newsmax+

I recently joined Newsmax+. I just finished reading many reviews of this station and have a few of my own issues. First, Greta needs to go. She's not interesting and talks over the her guests. Second, Dick Morris needs to go. I wouldn't trust him with my wooden nickel. Third, Either newsmax or newsmax+ can set their commercial traffic right at all. I think whoever is doing this needs to be fired along with Greta and Dick. Not that familiar but i believe if the commercial isn't played in its entirety its free. can't run a business like that. If it is the case they won't be around long. i have seen programs with this level professionalism on the public access channel.

Newsmax.com Massive Spam

The level of spam is unreal. Even when unsubscribing when I never subscribed in the first place, I get even more spam.
This is illegal in the US and people have been jailed for such offences.
Reports have been sent to the authorities about this ongoing nuisance.

The Newsmax App Faulty

When Newsmax was free, it came on without problem. However, ever since I've been a monthly subscriber, the Newsmax App has given us nothing but grief!
Sometimes I'll get the news and sometimes it stays frozen and won't budge.
When I call for technical help, they tell me to "uninstall" the app and then "reinstall"
This is tiresome and frustrating for for someone who pays a monthly subscription as this does NOT happened with other apps. I get live streaming very easily with everything else, with all apps that works beautifully...but NOT Newsmax.
It's very faulty, half the time doesn't work, won't come in, very frustrated.
Newsmax needs to get it's act together since they are now charging for it.
I'm seriously thinking of dropping my subscription with Newsmax.

Newsmax is nothing but a propaganda…

Newsmax is nothing but a propaganda machine. They are using soundtracks of audiences that don’t exist. They use North Korean style propaganda.. They recently posted a video of Trump coming out of Trump tower waving at what they claim was a crowd yet they don’t show the crowd and throw a soundtrack of a crowd. The real video is Trump literally waving to no one. Just go on TikTok and look up Trump waving at no one, and it will show Trump from behind and zero people yet NewsMax posts a video of Trump waving with a fake soundtrack of a crowd which is all Newsmax does. We don’t live in North Korea! Newsmax is nothing other than AI generated soundtrack generated BS propaganda machine.

Thanks for NOTHING Newsmax2! I guess garbage is what you get for free

Don't Renew Greta's Contract

Just got rid of cable, so had to get Newsmax app. since it's my main news station. Seems to take longer to load than other apps on my TV, plus some buffering, but willing to give it some time. (And no, it's not my WiFi)
My main complaint is Greta. She was absolutely horrible during the RNC convention. When she comes on during the week, I switch to something else for an hour, usually The Five on my DVR through YouTube TV.
Sure wish you were included in the YouTube TV line up!

My rate and view of “Newsmax”

“Newsmax” seems to tell it like it is! They bring real news and seem to always be able to support what they air. I enjoy watching what seems to be honest and strait forward news. I watch hours of “Newsmax”! Keep up the great news “NEWSMAX”!! BRING IT!!! 5+ stars!!

Greta really has to go

This has to do with Greta and her horrible coverage of the Republican Convention. She kept interrupting everyone to express her "unique" opinion and at times was just plain argumentative. I left FOX a while ago for Newsmax and typically love the hosts, but Greta was horrible on FOX and now she's stinking up Newsmax as well. Please please don't let her ever host something as important as the Convention ever again.

I cannot understand why Newsmax cannot…ahe a curret nerws reporter who can break in with news developments.

I cannot understand why Newsmax cannot cut into their warmed over shows with a current. happening/development. I am having to go to CNN to see a current event that just happened. I get so tired of their warmed over shows. Why would I pay for something extra when I do not like what they are showing in the first place.. They have no news reporter so anything that has happened you have to find out about the next day. They need a current reporter who can break in with developing news.

NEWSMAX shears there offering

News max is great at giving the truth on the news I watch them all the time.
But when it comes to there shares there trying to sale there is a catch not only do you have to spend 5 thousand dollars you also have to make 200 thousand dollars a year income to qualify. Not good for the average joe and there main supporters.

Finally we got a news channel that…

Finally we got a news channel that tells the relative truth, that is, after FOX news went rogue, caving in to new owners agenda. I relied on Newsmax for a real picture of what’s going on. And now you have to pay for the truth?!! Absolutely not! I Refuse. “The truth will become brighter as the day draws near” - Read Proverbs. And that is what I will now rely on. It’s not the money, its the principle. Some may not be able to afford additional expenses. What about them?

Love the coverage and all the hosts

Love the coverage and all the hosts, especially Rob Schmitt & Bianca de la Garza so very professional and informative, great guests! The only issue I have for not giving 5 starts is their video, seems to always have some issues with sound or can't pull up for viewers. Hopefully, it gets better in the coming months. Well worth the $50 a year.

I really love Newsmax2

I really love Newsmax2. I left Fox because they are turning left. I like all of Newsmax2 reporters but I am not in favor of all the Regan and the Mustache swimmer. I am in favor of the news that is really news reporting. By the way has any of your reporters been shopping for food lately? Inflation is sure
more higher than 3%. A good loaf of bread is now more than five or six dollars.
