Newsmax chief executive Chris Ruddy received a hero’s welcome at CPAC, where he claimed that “liberals and the left basically own everything in the media world.”
Chris Ruddy,
“Our view was that it was censorship,” Ruddy told the conservative crowd gathered at a convention center near Washington, DC. To support this claim, the network head cited DirecTV’s decision to drop One America News––another smaller right-wing channel––from its cable lineup last year. He went on to claim that “liberals and the left basically own everything in the media world” and said that DirecTV’s last lone conservative option is now Fox News.
Fox, for its part, has not offered this year’s CPAC the same coverage it typically does and did not return as an event sponsor. In the channel’s absence, Newsmax has set up shop with a media booth and ads that were played on the venue’s big screen between speeches. Earlier this month, in a letter to Republican senators, DirecTV characterized the cancellation as completely apolitical. “Ultimately, contracts require an agreement between parties. That’s what the free market is all about,” the provider wrote, adding that it was among the first to pick up the conservative channel when it launched in 2014.
