Severian Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Is that web site a spoof? It has an advert for 'Memory Training Secrets of Top Toliticians' with a picture of GWB on it...
Rebiu Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Is that web site a spoof? It has an advert for 'Memory Training Secrets of Top Toliticians' with a picture of GWB on it...That is pretty funny.
Sisyphus Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 No, sadly, Newsmax is real. And yes, the ads are hilarious. "Trick women into being attracted to you!" "Master bareknuckle boxing!" "Buy lots of GOLD!" They'd probably have a lot more credibility as a news source if their ads weren't so well targeted to the mentality of the reader.
Severian Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I particulary like "Discover forbidden attractions secrets the liberal media doesn't want you to know". Wow - they are even blaming the liberals for republicans being unsuccessful with women!
Pangloss Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Aren't they??? You're dashing my worldview here.... Arrrrr! NewsMax is a riot. If you click on the Jokes menu item you get a daily rundown on the monologue of all the major late-night talk show hosts. They're here in South Florida and I did some computer work for them a few years back, before they were very well known. Partisan ideologues to the core, but very funny guys.
Sisyphus Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I actually went to high school with the son of one of their main writers. He came in to talk to our AP government class, along with some poor guy from a local paper who he kept insulting and accusing of being part of some big liberal media conspiracy.
Pangloss Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Yeah they do seem to firmly believe that they're a news organization. That aspect of the site is kinda sad, IMO.
