Newsmax writes: “... issued a sharp statement Monday that was a thinly veiled criticism of the pick.”

Newsmax is no better than the MSM.

I don’t need Newsmax telling me its *interpretation* of her statement, as if I would read the statement and not comprehend what it was!

Stupid, stupid Newsmax and WND are hopeless wannabes that are out-MSMing the MSM in their unprofessionalism. WND sells books right in the middle of its articles, and it gets its facts so twisted that it is appalling. I seldome read either of them because they are so untrustworthy and shabby.

It’s particularly annoying because they set themselves up as “better” than the MSM when they are just as inane.

"WND sells books right in the middle of its articles"

First off - this is NOT a defense of WND.

Now to my point - Like any other media outlet, WND is before anything else a business and, as such, its financial health is what makes the reporting possible. Advertising is the core of their financial viability and the ad placement has to be such that they can have a reasonable expectation of consumer exposure. With the on-line media this requires an intertwining of advertising and reporting.

I'm sure if you can figure out a better way to meet the on-line media's financial needs your personal finances will benefit greatly.

Damn... I hadn't noticed that. Time to downgrade my estimate of the story's veracity.
