Stelter: Newsmax’s Ratings Are Going ‘Up, Up, Up’ as They Provide an Alternate Reality for Trump Fans

EXCERPT:

STELTER: “I’d love to know what Paul Ryan was thinking when this happened on Thursday, when Fox News and Newsmax and One America News all showed Rudy Giuliani’s meltdown live for 90 minutes. What an irresponsible thing to do. Does Ryan care? Does Rupert care? Look, Fox is feeling pressure from the right, from Newsmax. I think that’s why they aired the press conference, because Newsmax was airing it. Newsmax's ratings are going up, up, up because they are providing an alternative reality for Trump fans. They claim the election is not over. Look at Greg Kelly, he is the highest-rated host on the network, he's on there saying that he thinks Trump will still prevail. They're taking the old line about telling people what they want to hear to its illogical end point. Kelly and people like him are ignoring Trump’s delusions. That’s what it is at this point.”
