Please let everybody know that Roku will not support free speech and Newsmax. If people know this they wouldn’t buy Roku

You are spouting nonsense. If Roku didn't support "free speech" the channel wouldn't be available in the channel store. But it's there, and you can install and use it. If it's not working on your Roku, then there's a problem with the channel. Only Newsmax can fix their channel if it doesn't work. Roku doesn't provide channels for 3rd party providers. 

There's no conspiracy at Roku to block channels from working. That would be a stupid business decision. If they didn't want a particular provider to be available on their devices, they simply wouldn't approve them for the channel store. Since it's there, it's quite obvious that Roku is not doing what you think they're doing.

There is currently something affecting the Search Results within Roku devices.  If you cannot find a channel/app by searching on the device, then try using the online Roku Channel Store. (https://channelstore.roku.com/browse)

The Newsmax channel/app did not appear for me (other than the Roku Channel LiveTV, ch.190), but is available from online store to install. https://channelstore.roku.com/search/newsmax

I haven't used the standalone Newsmax channel/app for awhile now.  Many of the free channels/apps like Roku Channel, Pluto,  Xumo, Plex, and Rumble carry Newsmax so I normally just watch it on one of those.

I did just verify the standalone channel/app is available for install and is currently working.
