Newsmax teed up its election coverage of the New Jersey governor's race -- as it did during the Minnesota Senate recount -- by having Matthew Vadum make vague, baseless accusations. From a Nov. 3 article by David Patten: "There has been a reported surge in absentee balloting, which might be suspicious but isn't necessarily proof of anything," Vadum tells Newsmax. [...] "There has been...

An Oct. 29 Newsmax article by David Patten asserts that "Skyrocketing insurance premiums will slam millions of consumers next year because of "indirect taxes" contained in both the House and Senate versions of healthcare reform," a view Patten attributes to "various medical and insurance industry experts."

The Treasury Department arranged interviews for "pay czar" Kenneth Feinberg,...

We've previously mentioned how Newsmax likes to present "experts" to attack Obama policies without clearly explaining that all of the "experts" they cite are conservative and are presumably more interested in advancing a political agenda. This happens again in an Oct. 18 Newsmax article by David Patten citing "scholars" to back up a claim that "President Obama's...

Metairie, La. - Thirty minutes before the start of this afternoon’s slated 3:00 p.m. commencement of a joint afternoon practice session heavy rains pounded the Saints’ facility and fields, leaving some to question whether the practice would have to be moved indoors. Yet, the Saints’ practice fields held up extremely well to the wear-and-tear of the 160 players on the field and footing...

Yeah, the final score really doesn’t matter does it? When I saw the ’starters’ step on the field I figured the points in this one were about as valuable as on Whose Line Is It Anyway? So did we learn anything from this game? Sure. We learned that David Patten isn’t in the Browns plans for [...]

An Aug. 26 Newsmax article by David Patten on the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy begins by stating that "retrieved the fallen banner of Camelot progressivism when assassins' bullets struck down older brothers John F. and Robert F. Kennedy in the 1960s" -- but then immediately follows with four paragraphs detailing the Chappaquiddick. Patten was also quick to reference "Kennedy's well-earned...

Is there really a point to roster transactions this late into training camp? Sure, maybe we're trying to scout players that might end up on our practice squad in the future, but a week really isn't a lot to go by. As I'm sure you can tell, the training camp reports are more so "general team notes" now as opposed to specifics on how the day went. It's like that every year as public camp sessions...

An Aug. 14 Newsmax article by David Patten recounts claims by "analysts" that President Obama is unleasing a "litany of misstatements and dubious assertions" regarding health care reform without making clear that those "analysts" are all conservatives who oppose health care reform.

One almost has to admire the Capital Research Center's Matthew Vadum for the sheer audacity of admitting that he doesn't have the facts to support his smear of President Obama, yet going ahead with the smear anyway. In an Aug. 13 Newsmax article suggesting that an advertiser boycott campaign of Glenn Beck's Fox News show spearheaded by the group Color for Change, co-founded by current Obama administration...
