Newsmax Sues Fox, Alleging That the Fake Conservative Network Uses Illegal Means to Keep the Conservative Market All to Itself

Specifically, Newsmax claims Fox is abusing its market position to pressure streaming channels into not carrying its competitor.

Newsmax filed a lawsuit against Fox News in Florida on Wednesday for allegedly illegally cornering the market on conservatives.
Attorneys for Newsmax argued that Fox has "long engaged in an exclusionary scheme to increase and maintain its dominance in the market for U.S. right-leaning pay TV news, resulting in suppression of competition in that market that harms consumers, competition, and Newsmax," The Hill news outlet reported.
"Fox leverages this market power to coerce distributors into not carrying or into marginalizing other right-leaning news channels, including Newsmax," the lawsuit reads.
Newsmax also alleges that Fox, in the process, has "deliberately blocked Newsmax's growth in critical distribution platforms such as Hulu, Sling, Fubo, and other major platforms."
"Fox may have profited from exclusionary contracts and intimidation tactics for years, but those days are over," Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said.
Fox News said in response tha Newsmax "cannot sue their way out of their own competitive failures in the marketplace to chase headlines simply because they can't attract viewers."

I don't know if they can prevail, even if what they're saying is true. Companies are allowed to use their market power to fence out competition -- unless they have monopoly power. Does Fox have a "monopoly" or near-monopoly on conservative viewers? I don't know about that.

And I doubt any court will rule against a monopolist, anyway. A federal judge found that Google is a monopoly and uses its monopoly power to maintain and expand its monopoly position -- which the law specifically forbids -- and decided to let Google keep on using its monopoly power to fence out competitors anyway.

The rule of law is on tenuous grounds in America these days, with even easy stuff that might hinder the powerful running into serious obstacles. Today, the decade-long campaign to stop big tech from dominating our society took a significant step backwards, as the judge hearing the search case against Google, Amit Mehta, chose not to meaningfully constrain the firm's illegal behavior. And to engage in such deferential behavior, he openly ignored Supreme Court precedent.
You don't have to take it from me. It's Mehta who last year found Google to have violated the law. "Google is a monopolist," he wrote, "and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly. It has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act." It's also Mehta who found the Supreme Court mandated what he called the "remedial objective" in monopolization cases, to "terminate the illegal monopoly." But, Mehta wrote, "remedies designed to eliminate the defendant's monopoly--i.e., structural remedies--are inappropriate in this case."
So there we go. Mehta understood the law mandates he terminate Google's monopoly, but he just decided against doing so. This kind of lawlessness, incoherence and deference to big business is now routine among elites in our society, so I guess it's not too surprising that it happened in this case. In fact it's not surprising to readers of BIG; back in June I wrote a very timely piece on precisely this dynamic, titled "Why Is Google Still in One Piece? The Terminating a Monopoly Problem." In it, I described why Mehta may turn his back on this requirement and flout the law. I had hoped he wouldn't, but he has.

BTW, Google is getting worse and worse regarding deliberately suppressing conservative media. Even when I search for a story I know appeared in conservative media under the exact keywords needed to bring the article up, it gives me nothing but CNN, ABC, "MS NOW," etc.

Apple is really showing its quasi-religious fantacism as it promotes a new show in which a "Karen content moderator" (in other words, censor) is the hero Gotham needs.

Of course it stars gonzo feminist left-wing midwit Jessica Chastain.

The Critical Drinker has thoughts -- specifically, that Hollywood, in attempting to give the Hero treatment to a Karen censor monitoring Reddit for forbidden thoughts, is absolutely incapable of reading the room.

Of course, this probably got greenlighted two years ago, but for years and years people have known that the public had had an absolute bellyfull of bitchy controlling left-wing Karen Monitors.

I think they made this movie so that former Biden CDC head and covid fascist Rachel Walensky can flick her bean to it.

I suggest she recruits members and documents their hate. But everyone she talks to are LEO plants. They get her to meet up, get her drunk, and tell her they're going on a road trip. They take her to the Governor's house and then arrest her for plotting to kidnap the Governor. She becomes the new face of white supremacy as every news outlet in America prints story after story about her plot to kidnap the Governor.

Five House Republicans helped Democrats kill a motion to censure Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ) on Wednesday.

GOP Congressman Clay Higgins forced a censure vote on LaMonica McIver after she was charged with assaulting federal agents at an ICE facility in May.

Every Democrat, with the help of five insufferable Republicans, killed the motion.

The five Republican lawmakers included: Don Bacon, Mike Flood, Dave Joyce, Mike Turner and David Valadao.

128 @Ace: BTW, Google is getting worse and worse regarding deliberately suppressing conservative media. Even when I search for a story I know appeared in conservative media under the exact keywords needed to bring the article up, it gives me nothing but CNN, ABC, "MS NOW," etc.

Can confirm. Went looking for headlines about a story back in June that was highlighted in today's "Day by Day Cartoon" (by Chris Muir). "No charges for Texas man who beat his daughter's molester to death".

Searching on variants of that, such as "no charges" "texas" "daughter" "molester" came up with news sources such as:
ABC, NBC, Times Union, CNN, Good Morning America, The Week.

Earlier searches turned up stories by Canada's CBC Broadcasting as well which is pretty heavily left-slanted as well.

This is pure bullshit. Now every situation is different. The better part of valor, at times, is to retreat.

There is only weakness, surrender, and cowardice when making blanket statements like this. What they want to inculcate in people, what they want to instill, is a weak and pussified society. “

“Just give them what they want” and “why do you need a gun, that’s what the police are for” that is all complete nonsense.

Decent peaceable people arguably have a duty and obligation to confront evil, not run away and hide.

I am sorry. I do not for a second believe only people who took the vax have gotten cancer. But I do think it increased the odds of certain people getting it who otherwise would not have. We had illness before the vax, and we have illness after, and we can’t forget that, either.

I burned off about 80 pounds in 2019 and never looked back.

It was weird - when burning fat the body gives off strange odors. Elmers glue sweat, once in a while acetone. This is associated with Ketosis or Autophagy, a phenomenon under some study for the way the cells renew themselves.

219 Are you trying to lose weight? The excess adipose tissue?

You can eat whatever you want, just not very much. My Physicians Desk Reference suggests 600 to 800 calories daily for a more rapid weight loss on a sustainable basis. 900 to 1000 maybe for a more moderate level.

Most people will naturally gravitate towards more filling types of foods. Meat, eggs, cheese, mixed nuts tend towards longer “satiety”. A gram scale and counting out your food calories closely works well here. Nutrition Facts. Keep adequate Protein is important. There are no Essential Carbohydrates in the human diet per se.

I'm not much of a statistics guy, BUT, there are certainly people with no vax that got cancer, as happens. But there IS a correlation that indicates causation when those that DID get the vax have much higher rates of future cancerous (or heart issues) outcomes.

Much higher rates than those without the vax ... there seems to be solid evidence of causation. to me, with only one statistic class.

239 As a Massachusetts resident, with respect to the Flag, Seal and Motto may I say WTAF!?!?!? The art is simplistic crap in the very modern style and just plain boring. The mottoes are pap not even suitable for feeding our state bird. None represent the origin of our state. I propose we we place the Native American on the seal with a detailed line drawing Col. Samuel Whittemore (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Whittemore)

Whittemore was in his fields when he spotted an approaching British relief brigade under Earl Percy, sent to assist the retreat. Whittemore loaded his musket and ambushed the British grenadiers from behind a nearby stone wall, killing one soldier. He then drew his dueling pistols, killed a second grenadier and mortally wounded a third. By the time he had fired his third shot, a British detachment had reached his position; Whittemore drew his sword and attacked. He was subsequently shot in the face, bayoneted numerous times and left for dead in a pool of blood. He was found, by others still trying to reload. He subsequently lived to 96 years of age.

Otherwise leave the seal, motto, and flag alone.
