On July 28, conservative news outlet Newsmax announced a new partnership with Facebook’s parent company, Meta. They joined the ranks of networks such as Fox, CNN, USA TODAY, and more, providing their news as data to train Meta’s AI models. Usually, one would welcome more diverse datasets for AI to use. MS NOW, on the other hand, was terrified of expanded conservative representation. On this Monday’s Money, Power, Politics with Stephanie Ruhle, MS NOW ran a segment condemning the agreement between the two companies and smearing Newsmax.
The show’s titular host, Stephanie Ruhle, began by citing a past scandal involving Newsmax:
I want to point out that other news organizations have similar deals with Meta, but Newsmax is a far-right outlet that paid a huge settlement with Dominion for airing lies about the 2020 election.
MS NOW is seething that Meta is adding Newsmax to their list of sources for their AI models. They resorted to smearing Newsmax’s coverage as “garbage” and untrustworthy.Jealous much? MS NOW isn’t on the list, likely because Meta recognizes their “news” as blatantly partisan. pic.twitter.com/vc0ng5PaR9— James Waterman (@jwatermaniv) August 3, 2026
