NewsMax.com is an American news website. It is unabashedly right-wing in viewpoint, promoting itself as "a leading conservative news source providing an Internet alternative to the liberal mainstream media"[1] (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/7/31/193900.shtml) and featuring a section devoted to media bias.[2] (http://www.newsmax.com/hottopics/Media_Bias.shtml)
Liberals have condemned NewsMax.com as being a hub of conspiracy theories about Democrats, and Bill Clinton in particular.
NewsMax originated sales of the "Deck of Evil" playing cards and followed up with the "Deck of Weasels" lampooning prominent opponents of the 2003 invasion of Iraq as well as the "Deck of Hillary" and the "Deck of Reagan". The website provides links to comics that Conservatives will enjoy: Dan Lacey's "Faithmouse" [3] (http://www.faithmouse.com)(conservative Christian), "The Leftersons" [4] (http://www.leftersons.com) by Colin T. Hayes, Bruce Tinsley's "Mallard Fillmore", [5] (http://www.kingfeatures.com/features/comics/mallard/about.htm)to name a few.
Immediately after Ronald Reagan's death, the site was filled with glowing articles about the former president.
The site's parent company, NewsMax Media, also publishes a monthly magazine, NewsMax. The company's owner is Richard Mellon Scaife.
NewsMax was founded in September 1998 by journalist Christopher Ruddy, who is its current president, CEO, and editor-in-chief. Its headquarters are in West Palm Beach, Florida.
