Newsmax is a private company and everyone knows an individual's Constitutional rights are eliminated when you are in or working for a private company. In reality they are nonexistent if your are working for the government as well.


I consider this to be a complete abomination and a curse on free people everywhere.

DML was reporting something they didn't want Americans to know....regardless of their political affiliation...
Kind of what the GOP is trying to do to Trump. They want to stop supporting him, failing to recognize the man is making them a lot of money. Without Trump they would be dull and broke! What idiots, then they put a couple of unknown people to run in a late race. The GOP is losing it!

I just saw the clip of his last show and it truly saddens me. Regardless of what side of the political spectrum you are on, the man has true integrity.

This is about freedom of speech and I don't want to get into a dem vs repub argument, this is not about the next President of the U.S. this is about
FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THIS IS HAPPENING WAY TOO MUCH IN THE U.S.
THIS IS ALSO NOT ABOUT FOX NEWS...ONLY INTELLIGENT COMMENTS WILL BE RESPONDED TO....

but this, this is wrong...

DML was told by the executives of Newsmax

this certainly tells you how controlling the media is...
It is time for Americans to stop allowing their political affiliation to control who they are and what they believe...

It is time for America to stand up against this horse manure.....
Sorry, but in a number of recent threads, conservatives were pretty unanimous that a company should be able to hire and fire anybody they want to.

So your conservative boat already sailed. Bon voyage!

We are looking at "State Run Media" ..... they do this in 3rd World Nations to protect those in Power.

Tech Companies Apple, Twitter, Google, and Instagram Collude to Defeat Trump

Facebook sets filters to remove pro-Trump or Anti-Clinton or Anti-Obama postings. Twitter cancels accounts like Milo. A CNN reporter just did a whistle blower account showing that CNN takes orders from TeamObama on what they may report. Russia, Iran, Turkey, Syria - and other Totalitarian Regimes do this sort of thing.

It's a Time for Choosing - is this what we want in the USA? or do we want Law & Order?

What are you talking about? There are tons of anti Obama comments all over facebook. Infowars has a facebook page. Their TV show has its own separate facebook page. Let me guess, you came to your erronious conclusion after being told so by several different 'non main stream" media outlets. You posted a non functioning link to a non state sponsored media outlet hosting an article about state censorship of the media. Seriously? Look up the term "critical thinking".

Newsmax is a conservative media. It employed Lynch.

Lynch went off script and said "Fox was the best weapon for the Conservative movement".

In other words, he praised his employer's competitor and did so while on the air, under contract to Newsmax.


Sounds to me like like the guy wants a job at Fox News. ( shrug)

Moreover, many employee agreements have both non-disparage and non-compete clauses. the network should sue him. Heck, that is what Trump has done and would do.
