Calling Newsmax unbiased is laughable…

Calling Newsmax unbiased is laughable ...it is right wing propaganda...as a paying subscriber many things piss me off...first... I pay for this and it has more commercials than news...every other service I have...paying makes the commercials go away...next you really need to get rid of that Trump hater Judge Andrew P. Napolitano ...his"opinions" are worthless because he believes judges are "Gods" and can do no wrong...I still watch them everyday...less biased than most

Newsmax is the Best

Newsmax does it right with unbiased reporting. A good friend told me about Newsmax last year and I've watched ever since. I also watch Fox News and Fox Business Network.

I don’t like Judge Nepolitano

I don’t like Judge Nepolitano. I never agree with him. It seems like Newsmax has given him free reign on legal opinions as the last word. I believe to be more credible Newsmax should have a different opinion from another legal source. I believe Neploitano is wrong and insulting. So I usually change the channel when he is on.

Newsmax moderators are Liberals

I'll post direct quotes from influential politicians. The moderators then remove my posts. I'll then complain that my posts were removed. Newsmax will then block me from entering their site for 8 hours or more. Fascism at its finest.

Quality of service unreliable

Quality of service unreliable. Poor streaming shows they stoped in the middle of and morning news comes on instead. Show completely not shown and morning news put on. My star rating was great now a two or three. Need to upgrade your service that people paid for.

Newsmax is Great, their commercials…not!

Newsmax is Great but their commercials are the worst. It’s like watching long segments from the home shopping network. I’m not sure who the advertisers think is actually watching Newsmax. I said to my wife perhaps we should subscribe to Fox News, thankfully she talked me down. Seriously, do something about the commercials.

I like the station except for the old…

I like the station except for the old Judge on freedom file. I feel like that guy is not a conservative. And he annoys me every time I’m drinking my coffee in the morning when he comes on. I switch the station. He’s always against Trump it seems and things that are going on with the Republicans. I feel he’s more democrat than anything. I thought this was a Republican station so if it’s not, I won’t be watching.

I do like the shows

I do like the shows, lots of good commentary. I DO NOT like the ads. They are misleading and often force you to watch long videos just to get to the sales pitch. The ads are not particularly relevant or worthy of my time. I’ve fallen for a couple and regretted both. I know that’s how you get the revenue, but you really need to vet the content better

Newsmax is Breath of fresh air. FINLEY!!

Newsmax is awesome with Rob, Greg, Chris great place to get real News and all of the newsmax crew. I've been watching them for years and love how they cut through the BS and tell you what's really going on. Although you have haters that try to make a an honest new station look bad, but the proof is in the pudding. If you want real news and know what's really going on with politics this is your station.

Newsmax doesn't want complaints

So I paid for a subscription to Newsmax so I could watch Greg Kelly and Rob Schmidt. There are a lot of other good shows on there as well. My complaint is they ask for feedback but they don't want to hear if you have complaints. The amount of commercials is excessive, I've read that also another reviews about Newsmax but even worse they have American Moments. They are very very long and there is several with every break. Plus they're all reruns they have like five different ones. I did not sign up for American Moments.. I have complained to all the shows. I've complained about other things like their app, it's the worst one I have on my phone. It doesn't load. You cannot find things. Worst app ever, and has been for years. And apparently others have complained about that as well. Newsmax customer service does not care if you are complaining They only want to hear if you're not complaining.. I really don't know if I would pay for a subscription again. They just don't seem to care what their viewers have to say.

A Must for Moderate to Right-Leaning Viewers, Worth a Peek for those Left

If you lean to the Conservative side of politics, Newsmax programming is great. They offer six hours of terrific opinion-based news shows weekdays from 4-11pm EST. Programs lack Fox’s big-dollar visual bling, but the evening hosts are witty, outspoken, and entertaining. On the downside, Newsmax plays lots of commercials—seemingly more than any other cable news network—but this has improved and evenings aren’t as commercial-heavy as the daytime. I used to DVR the evening programs because commercials were so frequent, but now they are limited enough to make live viewing tolerable.
For those with moderate-to-right viewpoints, Newsmax is definitely worth watching. Folks to the left might still benefit from checking out Rob Schmitt or Rob Finnerty. They both offer light-hearted and often humorous perspective on events as seen from “the other side.”

Trash and not even accurate news

Trash and not even news. You would think that a news outlet would deliver accurate information instead of lie about what they want in every other sentence.

I’m not even talking about the opinion stuff, they genuinely get information wrong constantly to the point that their content is misinformation.
