(43,082 posts)I honestly had no idea that Newsmax TV existed until about a month or two ago, and it's located on the far, far reaches of our cable offerings (quadruple digits).

(16,616 posts)I haven't checked in on Newsmax for years, but it used to be an inconceivably ugly network, with the sets looking like they were tossed up under time pressure in somebody's residence. Their sets made the Home Shopping Network look like a James Cameron set.
I hope Trump sinks his money into that network. It's going to be a disaster.
