Free press should mean free news is still the truth. Lose the greed. One person can tell the daily news. You don't need an army

★☆☆☆☆David Keaton· Jun 5, 2026
I love newsmax, but it's more than news it's crazy the amount of commercials that has how can anybody sit and watch that
★☆☆☆☆Terry· Apr 30, 2026
App very unstable. Live feed constantly freezes, or you get caption "source unavailable-Go back" or "something went wrong-Go back". If you contact newsmax, like I did 6 times, you get crickets. I stopped contacting them. It's obvious they want nothing to do with me. I paid newsmax+ subscription for a year ahead of time. Not month to month. Which is why they probably don't care about me anymore. They already got my money. Don't get yearly plan, go month to month and make sure it's stable for you.
