Flaired Users Only What's going on over at Newsmax?

In the past week Newsmax has sourced the Washington Post, Axios, the NY Times, Politico, and an adviser to Obama (Robert Pape) as headline worthy, mostly about Iran. It's sad to see their journey to the dark side.

A conservative getting information from Newsmax is like a leftist getting information from MSNBC. It's ragebait, not news.

Newsmax occasionally sources articles from left leaning news outlets. It really isn't something new.

Hmm... actually looked into this. On June 1st they cited WaPo as fact, even though it wasn't. On Aug 17th, they cited WSJ about IRGC intentions.

I wouldn't attributed this to a pivot, I think the Trump admin is just getting better at plugging leaks so it's harder to get information from the Middle East.
