Newsmax portrays Facebook as an enemy of conservatives. Behind the scenes, it's spending millions on Facebook ads
CNN
If you were to judge Newsmax's views about Facebook by what its hosts say on-air, you would probably be under the impression that the right-wing channel sees the social media company as an enemy of the conservative movement.
Greg Kelly has described Facebook as a "liberal group" that is "trying to skew the next election" and engaging in what he believes should be "illegal" behavior. Steve Cortes has said the company is "manipulating voting procedures." And Diamond & Silk have said "white liberals" like chief executive Mark Zuckerberg are trying to "censor" their content. But, behind the scenes, Newsmax is quietly doing significant business with Facebook, forking over millions to use the social media network as a promotional tool.More Related News
