Newsmax Went Into Trump Defense Mode Yet Again Over His (Third) Indictment -ConWebBlog

As Newsmax defended Donald Trump against an expanded second indictment, a third indictment was looming. It did a little foreshadowing and complaining early on Aug. 1:

When the indictment dropped later that day, an article by Eric Mack stated that “Special counsel Jack Smith’s Washington, D.C., grand jury has delivered a four-count, 45-page indictment against former President Donald Trump and listed six unnamed co-conspirators,” adding that “A detailed Trump campaign statement was posted to Truth Social,” which Mack reprinted. That was followed by a more detailed wire article on the indictment. After that, Newsmax once again fully activated its Trump defense mode yet again:

Newsmax did sneak in a couple articles that attempted to tell the other side of the story:

On Aug. 2, Newsmax cranked up the Trump-fluffing (and justice-bashing) even more:

Neewsmax did publish a few more articles telling the other side, but they were again far outnumbered by its defenses of Trump:

Newsmax also published an Aug. 2 article it took from All Israel News highlighting a statement by Trump’s campaign complaining that the indictment “is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes” — though the article also featured the Anti-Defamation League criticizing the comparison.

That’s at least 32 pro-Trump articles published by Newsmax in the first two days after the third indictment.
