Making Up the Rules

Five days ago, FTVLive told you how NewsMax host Greg Kelly went on a rant about why former Fox News host Pete Hegseth should not be Trump’s secretary of defense.

Kelly made some good points, but most of what he said was already public knowledge.

Donald Trump did not like what Kelly said, and that made NewsMax, a Trump PR outlet, change its rules.

Mediaite says that the staff has been told that on-air coverage of Hegseth needed to “focus on the positive.” Bosses told staff that if guests bring up Hegseth, hosts should explain to viewers that the claims against him are allegations and then “pivot.”

NewsMax should have taken the word “News” out of their name a long time ago.
