Last month, Newsmax published an article by Melanie Batley complaining that “The bridge closure controversy that has dogged New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for weeks is threatening to go national as Democrats see a possible chink in the armor of the GOP’s potential 2016 presidential nominee.” Batley further complained that “Democrats have also created a politically-charged YouTube video with a narrative designed to raise the profile of the issue and link it to questions about Christie’s character and integrity.”
Now, with the release of emails showing that Christie aides directly ordered the bridge lane closure, Newsmax is essentially flip-flopping by devoting the top of its front page to the scandal (screenshot above).
That’s better than WorldNetDaily and CNSNews.com, each of which are mostly downplaying the Christie scandal.
