i used to be a fox fan until they sort of went more left and before that i had sling only for fox news.  then i found newsmax and ditched sling/fox.  Recently, president biden, who i think is a terrible president mind you, gave a speech primetime and newsmax cut out after the first 10 minutes.  Like I can't understand/decide on my own if biden's speech was good or bad.  That rubbed me the wrong way.

Now this?

I am going to check out real american voice and see.  I may just go with them and ditch newsmax.

CONcast’s Xfinity TV service is the worst live TV service I ever had, worse than Frontier which I didn’t think anyone could beat for incompetence, except maybe Joe Biden. Also Xfinity NEVER worked. The DVR sucked and reliability was awful. So I told them to to go screw at $200 a month, after telling Frontier the same at $234. All these companies can go screw. At a point where not only can’t afford it anymore (thanks Biden), but paying for everything is getting out of hand. What’s next, Pluto going behind a paywall?  Can’t afford groceries. TRUMP 2024

I just received this text from NM; of course I believe it's a lie!

OR, maybe they didn't have many paid subscribers to begin with!

Hello real america's voice. Didnt know you existed until now!

[JimmyB]

Thats right. It caught everyone off guard so many ppl subscribed to (fell for) the ‘free trial’. So the immediate effect is “record subscribers” but the overall effect is bankruptcy for Newsmax I believe.

[bk01636]

I didnt fall for it.  No "free" trials and no pay for view. If I were to pay I would pay for Foxnews. The reason I watched Newsmax was I didn't want to pay for Foxnews via a cable provider.

What a scam.

This is what I received in a NM text message 🤔

Personally, I don't believe this! MO

[JimmyB]

Amen to that!
