I was surprised that Newsmax has standards. Also, they didn’t exactly fire her, just didn’t renew her contract. Of course, they aren’t high standards. From the article: > Robinson had served as Newsmax’s White House correspondent. She was [replaced by James Rosen](https://www.thedailybeast.com/former-fox-news-reporter-james-rosen-joins-newsmax), a former Fox News personality who left that network in 2017 after [he was accused of sexual harassment](https://www.npr.org/2018/01/10/577093288/top-fox-news-d-c-reporter-james-rosen-left-network-after-harassment-claims) by multiple women, and was also accused of retaliating against women who rejected him. ---

It really doesn’t take that much money to buy a webcam, cobble together a news desk with a logo painted on it, and register a website. Which is pretty much all Mike Lindell’s “TV network” is. ---

Oh good - much looking forward to this new network’s choc-a-bloc roster of dramas, comedies, sports, entertainment…oh and news too. Especially the news, with Mike the Anchor. Hi, I’m Mike The Anchor ---

True. I kept thinking in terms of a cable network. What he has is more akin to public access a la “Wayne’s World.” ---

Nice exchange: > [@](#): > > “Who gave you the papers?” Costa says. “Who gave me the papers? **That’s none of your business**. A bunch of lawyers did. I’ve never read then,” Lindell responds. Yeah, didja hear’im? NONE OF YOUR BEESWAX! I also like the typo on “then”. Just throw a comma after “read”, and boom, you’re good. ---

Great.
