Newsmax is another Brietbart or Drudge. They present press releases
from Heartland (the main public relations firm for the fossil fuels
industries' anti-science PR campaign) packaged as investigative
reporting. A lot of their material leads directly to the John Birch
Society. These outfits aren't just "biased," they make up lies from
nothing. I suspect the "survey" John forwarded is either made up by
some PR
firm or collected from one of their "vote on this survey" banner ads.
I intentionally don't use an ad blocker, and I see a <b>lot </b>of
Newsmax ads, almost as many as Amazon's or whatever mail order company
I bought from last month. Like Limbaugh's and Beck's, the advertising
on their site is for vanity-press books and gold-bugger and survivalist
tracts, so I suspect they operate at a loss and get funding through
something like Donors Trust.<br>

John, I am not sure about this source, but the last polling I saw on TV
news for a different take on the same question showed a very different
picture: Do you approve or disapprove of their handling of the budget
and shutdown issue:<br>
Disapprove: Republican Congress 70%<br>
Democratic Congress: 61%<br>
President Obama: 51%<br>
<br>
All negative, but Republicans by far the most negative. <br>
