Mike Lindell and a Newsmax TV host
Bob Sellers, in which Sellers frantically tried to stop Lindell from peddling election conspiracies before fleeing his anchor chair in frustration, prompted outrage from far-right media accusing the network of censorship.
Sellers objected to Lindell’s effort to push a debunked theory about Dominion Voting Systems, which forced Newsmax, through legal threats, to air a stunning and extensive fact-check of its own coverage in December.
Fringe right-wing websites including The Gateway Pundit and Big League Politics bashed Newsmax after the cable news clash went viral.
“SELLOUTS: Newsmax Censors MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for Exposing Voter Fraud,” Big League Politics headlined their post, with the sub-headline, “Newsmax is as bad as Fox News.”
