[Moonglow]

No, now they run back to the other part of their lie when the first part of their lie is proven a lie....

 

[Moonglow]

Now they be saying it was the illegal ballots mailed in that never did have no signature check done did..

 

[Mac1958]

Will the conned now open their eyes? Not likely.

Far more likely that we'll add NewsMax to the list of Deep State Swamp Commie conspirators.

 

[Chillicothe]

It was a joke, dude.

I know, C.
I know.
I got it.
And regret I wasn't clearer on my own joke.

 

[danielpalos]

We need an InfoTainment category for right wing, alleged news outlets.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

I would have thought that this has still cost them a pretty penny.

Our resident "stop the stealers" seem to be mute on this issue. Perhaps they can join with me and apologise to the family of the late President Chavez who was ujustly accused by these clowns.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

I have been lookin over the website hoping for a word on the Gaetz paedo thing. But it seems that they are unaware of the issue.
Their followers will be disgusted that they arent supporting the Florida perv.

I would have thought that this has still cost them a pretty penny.

It did actually. In addition to the apology there was an undisclosed financial settlement.

Is being a pole smoker a perversion?

I do not believe the election was stolen, but voting machines should always be illegal.
They can never be assured, verified, or made tamper proof.
We should just go back to the tried and true paper ballots.

Dominion can't go to court because they can't prove their machines are safe.
That is because no machines can ever be safe.

We only have paper ballots. Machines sound a bit expensive for a third world shithole like the UK.

Newsmax also told its audience, many of them Trump supporters that “many of the states whose results were contested by the Trump campaign after the November 2020 election have conducted extensive recounts and audits, and each of these states certified the results as legal and final.”

Well imagine that! The "states" did that, did they ? Actually, it was frauders within the states, who are just as guilty as the ones who rigged the fraud to begin with. The "recounts and audits" were a joke. I remember Newsmax reporting that the so-called recounts in Georgia, were just do-overs of the same fraud they perpetrated previously.

 

[protectionist]

And so it begins. Newsmax saw the light. My guess is that "light" took the form of a meeting between a group of executives from Newsmax sitting around a conference table while a group of their attorneys told them that Newsmax was on the losing end of the lawsuit filed against them by Dominion. I wonder how long it will take for the other defendants to see the light. No doubt Newsmax TV is very soon going to find themselves on the receiving end of a RW temper tantrum with a corresponding drop in their viewership ratings.


NEW YORK (AP) — Newsmax apologized on Friday for airing false allegations that an employee for Dominion Voting Systems manipulated machines or tallies on Election Day to the detriment of former President Donald Trump.

Eric Coomer, security director at the Colorado-based firm, in turn dropped Newsmax from a defamation lawsuit.

The conservative news network, in a statement published on its website and to be read on TV, said that while it aired the accusations against Coomer made by Trump's lawyers and supporters, it found no evidence that they were true.


Newsmax, which ran Dominion's denials of the accusations when they were made, also said it had found no evidence that Coomer had spoken to “Antifa” or any partisan organization.

“We would like to apologize for any harm that our reporting of the allegations against Dr. Coomer may have caused to Dr. Coomer and his family,” the network said. He said in his lawsuit that he had gone into hiding because of death threats.

Coomer's lawsuit also targets the Trump campaign, lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, columnist Michelle Malkin, the website Gateway Pundit, Colorado activist Joseph Oltmann and One America News Network. Those claims are continuing, a spokeswoman said.

Neither Newsmax nor a Coomer spokeswoman would comment on whether Coomer was paid anything to drop the company from his lawsuit.

Newsmax also told its audience, many of them Trump supporters that “many of the states whose results were contested by the Trump campaign after the November 2020 election have conducted extensive recounts and audits, and each of these states certified the results as legal and final.”

Newsmax apologizes to Dominion worker for false allegations (yahoo.com)

A big SO WHAT for this. It merely reveals that ONE EMPLOYEE of Dominion was apologized to for false allegations made against HIM. The idea that Newsmax would have a drop in viewers from this, is ludicrous and laughable.

To their Credit, Newsmax was one of the few networks that correctly reported the faults of Dominion voting machines, and their propensity to be used for fraud, including:

1. Dominion machines can be altered to manipulate tallies in just a few minutes, using malicious code, according to Princeton professor of computer science and election security expert Andrew Appel.

2. A ballot can be spoiled or altered by the Dominion machine because “the ballot marking printer is in the same paper path as the mechanism to deposit marked ballots into an attached ballot box,” a study by University of California–Berkeley said.

3. The voting machines are susceptible to hacking or remote tampering because they are connected to the internet, even though they’re not supposed to be, according to a lawsuit. “If one laptop was connected to the internet, the entire precinct was compromised.”

4. There is evidence of remote access and remote troubleshooting, “which presents a grave security implication,” according to Finnish computer programmer and election security expert Hari Hursti.

5. Hursti also claims the activity logs of the voting machines can be overwritten by hackers to erase their steps.

6. Dominion machine operators can change settings to exclude certain ballots from being counted. The ballots can be put in a separate file and deleted simply, according to Ronald Watkins, a software and cyber-security expert who reviewed the Dominion software manual. He also said final vote count involved machine operators copying and pasting the “Results” folder onto a USB drive, a process he calls “error-prone and very vulnerable to malicious administrators.”

7. In Wisconsin, affidavits and statistical analyses allege more than 318,000 illegal ballots were counted, 15,000 mail-in ballots were lost, 18,000 were “fraudulently recorded” in the name of voters who never asked for mail-in ballots, 7,000 ineligible voters who had moved out of state voted illegally, Biden over performed in places using Dominion voting machines, and elections officials directed workers to "cure" or fix ballots with no witness address, or with voter certification missing on absentee ballot certificates and envelopes, even though the law states such ballots are not to be counted.

8. Gregory Stenstrom claims he saw a Dominion Voting Systems vendor inserting flash drives into voting aggregation machines in Delaware County, and co-mingling flash drives from aggregation machines, possibly hurting the ability of auditors to properly certify results, according to a Pennsylvania legislature hearing. Is Dominion going to apologize for that ?

9. Dominion Voting Systems committed to attending an oversight hearing in Pennsylvania but backed out at the last moment. Pennsylvania state Rep. Seth Grove, a Republican who chairs the Government Oversight Committee, said >>>
“If Dominion’s products were successful and operated as they were supposed to, why wouldn’t Dominion take the opportunity to publicly review its success? How hard is it to say, ‘our ballot machines worked exactly as promised, and they are 100 percent accurate?'”

10. Forensic analysis by a former military intelligence analyst alleges proof of foreign interference and/or access in the election. It shows Dominion’s voting machine server connected to Iran, China and Serbia. Also, the analyst says records show Hong Kong Shanghai Bank became collateral agent for Dominion voting systems on Sept. 25, 2019. The declaration is contained in the lawsuit filed by attorney Sidney Powell, and includes screen shots and a summary of the evidence.

Who is Christopher Ruddy? A look at Newsmax CEO's alleged friendship with Donald Trump

Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said he'd welcome the president’s involvement in the channel but the longtime Trump friend said they 'don’t want to be Trump TV'

meaww.com

Newsmax reportedly doesn’t want to become the seat of President Trump’s perspective media empire but the channel's CEO has now said that he wouldn’t turn down the chance to put him (Trump) on air once he’s out of office. The statement came after claims suggested that Newsmax will change to 'Trump TV' even though the CEO has denied any such action, his long-time friendship with Trump is no secret. Ruddy said Newsmax "would be open to talking to [Trump] about a weekly show" once he has left office January 20."He is going to be a political and media force after he leaves the White House," he had said.


Born on January 28, 1965, Christopher Ruddy, also known as Chris Ruddy, has been the CEO and the majority owner of Newsmax Media, which publishes Newsmax.com and broadcasts the Newsmax TV network. He is not just known for donning the commentator's hat but is also known for being an active Donald Trump commentator.

In a February 2017 interview, he said, Trump "acts on the information he's hearing in the media and he adjusts course from time to time." But at the same time, careful not to give himself any credit, Ruddy praised Trump: "This is a guy who makes up his own mind, nobody tells him what to do."


According to a CNN report, "Ruddy's company is poised to benefit from his Trump relationship -- and vice versa. Newsmax is a profitable conservative media brand with websites, newsletters and a cable TV channel. The site leans right but Ruddy stresses that it is fair to all sides."

In the 2017 report, it was mentioned that Ruddy's channel's biggest rival as Fox Channel bur now, as we see Trump's relationship getting sour with the Fox News, might be a green signal for their relationship to get even better.

Voting should be 100% in person, with proof of CITIZENSHIP presented as a requirement to vote. This should be in all 50 states.

Voting should be 100% in person, with proof of CITIZENSHIP presented as a requirement to vote. This should be in all 50 states.

An advantage of main in ballots is that you can get the post office to treat the ballot as a registered letter and demand an ID then when it is delivered.
It is better than at a polling station because the Post Office already has your name on file and your address is verified with delivery.
It also prevents people voting more than once.

 

[protectionist]

There is no evidence of any of this. Several audits of Dominion ,machines showed them to be 100% accurate. Allegations by right wing crazies are not credible. Nor are you.

Ridiculous statement - go to Princeton professor of computer science and election security expert Andrew Appel, and tell him to his face that his expertise is not "evidence".

Go tell the researchers who did the study at the University of California–Berkeley. that their research isn't evidence.

Go tell Finnish computer programmer and election security expert Hari Hursti that his finding aren't evidence.

Go tell Ronald Watkins, a software and cyber-security expert who reviewed the Dominion software manual, that he doesn't have evidence.

Then tell all these guys that all their findings are just "Allegations by right wing crazies" and the proof of that is we have a guy named busybee01 at USMB who says so.

Then they can add that to any studies they have of Allegations by left wing blithering idiots.

I guarantee anyone who testified voting machines are safe is lying.

First of all, it is nearly impossible to detect hidden trapdoors in software by inspection.
All software has to call device drives, typically written in obtuse assembly language, so are impossible to verify.

Second is that these voting machines are easily reprogrammed on the fly, either through network connections or a USB stick. There would be no evidence of this.

And by the way, I have a Masters degree in computer science, and I can tell you that all the professors I had were at least 20 years out of date and were never good with computers. Those who can, do. Those who can not, teach.
