Ruddy to CNN: Newsmax TV Will Go Beyond Fox News

Newsmax Founder and CEO Christopher Ruddy told CNN Sunday that Newsmax TV will broaden the political conversation well beyond simple labels like “liberal” and “conservative.”

"Fox is great at what it does," Ruddy told CNN’s “Reliable Sources" with host Brian Stelter, adding that the conservative news giant’s owner Rupert Murdoch was a "genius" when he created the conservative-leaning news network in 1996.

Murdoch, Ruddy said, recognized there was a huge audience outside "the CNN world" not being addressed by the mainstream media.

But there are 100 million conservative-leaning Americans, Ruddy said, and Fox News is taking in a core audience of just 3 million to 4 million of that group, leaving room for Newsmax TV to add more perspective not just on politics, but also on health, financial, lifestyle, and other informational programming that will appeal to a boomer audience.

Watch the CNN video. Story continues below.


Founded as a website in 1998, Newsmax has already established itself as a powerful news brand, Ruddy noted, and is in some ways "bigger" than Fox online. He said today his company is "very profitable" and has budgeted at least $70 million this year for marketing alone.

Newsmax regularly ranks among the top sites in the comScore News/Politics category of the approximately 60 million who follow such news, regularly beating Fox in the key category.

Last month, Newsmax drew 11.5 million unique visitors, and through partner sites that carry Newsmax news, had a total reach of 49 million Americans, according to comScore.

By time of the expected network launch in late spring or early summer of this year, Ruddy says Newsmax TV is hoping for 15 hours of live programming per day. By the end of summer he expects that to be 18-21 hours daily.

The timing is good for a new network, Ruddy suggested, saying that Fox's sometimes "polarizing" take and the potential market for center and center-right news had left a wide-open market for his effort.

He pointed to a recent Pew Research Center poll that showed 39 percent of Americans describe themselves as conservative and 37 percent moderate. Even those identifying as moderate, Ruddy said, have conservative views.

"Only 23 percent of Americans say they're liberal," he said. "That's a very small number. And you have most of the major media networks fighting over that very small market share."

Stelter noted that a recent Bloomberg Businessweek profile of Ruddy called Newsmax TV a "kinder, gentler" version of Fox News.

But Ruddy responded that Fox News has sought to shift its programming to return to its original mission of being "fair and balanced." 

Why does he believe there’s a need for a changing perspective now?

People saw the 2012 presidential election as very polarizing, Ruddy explained. When Fox News launched in 1996, the Republican Party had a favorability rating with the general public of 65 percent. Today, it is at a low point of just 35 percent.

"I believe the Republican Party's actually fighting for its survival," Ruddy told CNN. And, he added, during the years Fox has dominated the Republican side of news coverage there's been "an overall effect that's not been positive for the Republican Party." He hopes his network can broaden the overall debate with more, new voices.

Stelter was skeptical that Newsmax TV would be able to convince cable and satellite providers to carry the new channel. But unlike many new TV network ventures, Ruddy pointed out that Newsmax has a well established brand and audience.

The company is also expected to stream free "over the top" on a wide array of devices, including computers, smartphones, and other devices. Today, more than 5 million Americans can tune into Newsmax TV using Roku, and millions more with their iPhone app.

And Fox has already shown there is a huge market looking for conservative news, Ruddy said, though he expects to pull viewers from all the news networks, including the liberal-leaning MSNBC.

"I want to have some really good, articulate liberals," he said, noting that Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz already uses Newsmax as the homepage for his blogs. 

"Our readers don't agree with everything Alan says, but he's really interesting. He's fascinating. He's unpredictable," Ruddy said. "That's the type of thing I want to have on Newsmax, not predictability."

On Newsmax TV, viewers will be able to hear opposing views that are not personally attacking those on the other side, he said.

Ruddy discussed his friendship with former President Bill Clinton and offered praise for Hillary Clinton, noting she is well qualified for the nation's highest office.

"I think she would make a good president," Ruddy said.

Asked by Stelter his current GOP favorite for the presidency, Ruddy picked former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

"I live in Florida. … He did an incredible job as governor," Ruddy said. "He's very different than his brother. He appeals to all the constituencies of the Republican Party. But he's extremely forward thinking."

Bush recently wrote a cover story for Newsmax magazine  on growth, and Ruddy believes the GOP must become the party of growth if it hopes to survive in the years ahead. 

"We can't be the party of no," he said.

Free Stuff and Great Bargain Adventures for People Over 50

Grab up to $20,500 of the trillions in money, services,
and other goodies that Uncle Sam may have ALREADY allocated for
your family for 2014 — and find out about more than 40 unclaimed
government grants, giveaways, and subsidized trips.

Did you know that the U.S. government is "committed" to distribute more than $1 trillion in money, services, free trips, and other giveaways?
According to our inside source, it's true!
Despite the budget battles and sequester, that money is still there and has already been allocated. On a percentage basis, every family's share of the pie comes to around $20,500. What's more, only 12% of the money in these programs is designated for the poor.
Many people mistakenly believe that you have to be destitute to receive government money and giveaways. However, the truth is that a larger percentage of rich people than poor people are eligible for government money.
Unfortunately, most people don't even know about the thousands of government-giveaway programs available to them. That's because most of these programs are funded by Washington but administered through either the states or little-known organizations — and 75% of the programs have no income thresholds.
Of the $1 trillion in free government money given away each year, only about $378 billion is distributed as grants. The rest is distributed as direct payments, venture capital, or special "loans" you do not have to pay back.
You can't find these programs on Google. Most government officials often don't even know these programs exist. That's why many ordinary people miss out — and let the tiny handful of "connected" folks get all the freebies.
Literally BILLIONS in free money and bargain adventures go unclaimed every year!
How You Can Claim THOUSANDS of Dollars
in Government-Giveaway Programs
But now you can get YOUR fair share — with your copy of our brand-new special report, Free Stuff and Great Bargain Adventures for People Over 50.

  • A unique program that lets you save thousands of dollars on hotel bills at locations all around the world

  • Government-provided free legal and tax help — to fight creditors, refinance mortgages
  • Special free dental programs for older people
  • A special toll-free hotline you can use to apply for free prescription drugs

  • And lots MORE!
  • (Please note that some programs we refer to here are subject to income qualification requirements. The free report will direct you to all the relevant information.)
    Your "Free Government-Giveaway Package" Includes
    Newsletters and Seven Reports Worth Over $400
    (Offer Set to Expire in 2 Days!)
    We assembled a tremendous amount of how-to information into one simple, easy-to-follow special report. This will save you hundreds of hours of research and telephone time — and will help you quickly and easily access the thousands of federally subsidized programs now available for people of all income levels.
    Best of all, the programs listed in this amazing special report are not difficult to apply for. In fact, many of the applications are short and simple — at most, three or four pages long.
    And if you have difficulty, guess what? There are even special government offices dedicated to instructing you about how to take advantage of government programs!
    If you don't know if you're eligible for a specific giveaway program, there is a little-known website that will tell you. You'll find out all about it on page 5 of Free Stuff and Great Bargain Adventures for People Over 50.
    The fact is, thousands of laws mandate the U.S. government to spend these funds. The money has already been allocated, often to state agencies, to distribute it.

Sheriff urges charges against Aaron Hernandez in jailhouse fight

(CNN) -- Aaron Hernandez, who already faces first-degree murder and weapons charges, could face even more trouble after ajailhouse fight last week.
The Bristol County, Massachusetts, sheriff is asking that the former New England Patriots star face a simple assault-and-battery charge for allegedly punching a fellow inmate.
Neither man was seriously injured.
Sheriff Thomas Hodgson told CNN on Thursday the charge would be a misdemeanor.
Hodgson said he filed a criminal complaint application with the Third District Court. Hernandez, 24, is aware of the filing, he said.
The case is now in the hands of the district magistrate, who will decide whether there is probable cause for a charge to move forward. If so, an arraignment will follow, Hodgson told CNN.
An attorney for Hernandez did not immediately respond Thursday to a CNN message. Attorneys have not responded to questions about the February 25 fight involving an unidentified inmate.
Hodgson last month said that jail officials will be looking at how the two inmates came into contact, because "no more than one inmate is supposed to be out at a time" in the unit where Hernandez is housed.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge.
Authorities have said that Hernandez and two other men picked up Odin Lloyd from his Boston apartment in a rental car shortly before Lloyd was found shot to death on June 17.
Surveillance cameras then captured the rental car leaving the crime scene and Hernandez carrying a gun as he returned to his home minutes later, according to authorities.

Man indicted in case of missing Tennessee woman Holly Bobo

(CNN) -- Friends and family of Holly Bobo, last seen in 2011, waited three years for news. Their worst fears have now been confirmed.
A man has been indicted on charges of kidnapping and murder in the case of the Tennessee woman, authorities announced Wednesday.
Zachary Adams, 29, is being held without bond.
A Decatur County grand jury handed down a two-count indictment of especially aggravated kidnapping and first-degree murder.
"As this investigation continues, we are still asking for the public's help and support to help us continue to seek out justice regarding the disappearance of Holly Bobo," Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, told reporters.
Because the investigation is ongoing, Gwyn declined to comment on whether any human remains have been found.
Bobo, a nursing student, was last seen in April 2011. She was 20 years old.
Her brother told authorities he saw a man in camouflage leading her away from their home in the small town of Darden.
The Bobo case rocked the largely rural swath of central Tennessee, from those who knew the young woman to others who rallied behind the effort to find her.
Hundreds of volunteers -- some on horseback and foot, others on all-terrain vehicles -- turned out to hunt for clues in Decatur, Henderson, Henry, Carroll and Benton counties. Many more attended memorial services or offered supportive thoughts online via groups on Facebook.
The TBI and local and federal authorities have spent hundreds of manpower hours on the case, Gwyn said. More than $450,000 has been offered in reward money.
Adams, who is being held at the Chester County jail, is set to appear in court on Tuesday. Prosecutors are evaluating whether they will seek the death penalty.
"Obviously, they're devastated," Gwyn said of the Bobo family.
"They've been devastated for three years. But, hopefully, this is the beginning of closure for the Bobo family, and they deserve that."

Scandal 3.12: Power Rankings For 'We Do Not Touch The First Ladies'

Last week introduced us to Vanessa the Reporter, Rowan as a powerless dude, VP candidate Andrew Nichols, and the ever-difficult saga of trying to hide Kerry Washington’s ever-growing baby bump (seriously, some of those camera angles and jackets, though). What’s in store this week? Sally falls further into needing an exorcism (which we don’t think Leo Bergen is qualified to run), Hollis Doyle makes another appearance, and Cyrus and Rowan are both out for blood. Who will come out on top?

1. Quinn: Quinn sort of waffles around for the first half of the episode, since Jake is adamant she not be part of B613, but she takes it from zero to sixty really quickly when she follows Liv and then pulls a gun on her former boss when Liv begs her to come back home to OPA. Quinn, we say this every week, but: look at your life, look at your choices. What are you doing? She does show Jake up when she brings him pictures of Rowan and Leo Bergen cavorting with secrets at the Lincoln Memorial. She hacked into the National Parks network and dropped the pics on Jake’s lap like a cat does a dead mouse. Credit where credit is due - well done, Quinn.

2. Andrew Nichols: Andrew and Mellie, sitting in a tree, K-I-S...well, not really. But he sure looks at her like he wants to smooch her, doesn’t he? Andrew, Mellie, Liv, and Fitz are in a meeting when Cyrus tells them that there’s a story about drug use in the California Governor’s Mansion when Fitz and Andrew (Fandrew? Fitzdrew?) were in it. Andrew says not to deny it because, well, it’s true. He says he ordered semi-illegal oxy for his back, but we later learn via flashback that the perp was actually Mellie. She overdosed on oxy (purposely), seemingly as a coping mechanism for her hatred of all the Grant men, and Nichols saved her life by making her puke. He’s the only one who knows her Papa Grant secret, and now Nichols is just hellbent on protecting Mellie, since he’s pretty certain Fitz will never look out for her. And he’s right. Luckily, Mellie can mostly look out for herself, but it’s nice to see someone genuinely care about her.

3. Jake Ballard: Jakey-poo is drunk on power when he receives a briefcase giving him all the info that ever existed about anything, ever. It’s basically a briefcase of Wiki-leaks. Plus the highest security clearance of anyone in the country. Kinda makes up for overhearing Fitz and Olivia’s screaming match about your role as boyfriend beard, huh Jake? He later tells Olivia off in the best way possible: “Wine is not beer and popcorn is definitely not food.” There was also something in there about being her beard, all the pretend sex they’re having, and how she doesn’t get to control his work at B613, but we were slightly distracted by the beauty of Jake Ballard removing his shirt. We know that the head of B613 has someone on the inside, but Jake didn’t know who it was until, oh the last two minutes of the episode. It’s Tom, Fitz’s trusty (and our favorite) Secret Service Member. Yay! He’ll be dropping off nightly deliveries of video footage from the Oval Office right into Jake’s hands. Hope he doesn’t see, er, anything he shouldn’t see between Olivia and Fitz (like when tonight he sees that Liv may actually have feelings for him).

4. Olivia: We open on a screaming match between Fitz and Liv, and he basically calls her a whore for being around Jake and then she lets. him. have. it. She is not a prized pig, she is not a whore, and she is not doing this (using Jake as a cover boyfriend) for him. She’s doing it for herself, so she can walk around town without a scarlet letter on her chest, so she can actually be a person instead of a story. Wow, Liv, you’re actually, I don’t know, standing up for yourself? Now you just have to ditch Fitz completely. But this is a wonderful start. Liv later has a fight with Mellie, and gets schooled by Huck, who claims that she holds his leash and she’s always known he was a monster. There’s a lot of stuff coming Liv’s way that’s likely going to blindside her, but we’ll deal with that when it happens!

5. Mellie: Not that we’re usually rooting for infidelity, but we really hope Mellie and Nichols get another hot smooch in there soon (without all of the departed First Ladies watching and judging), because damn, she deserves it after putting up with all this Fitz/Liv crap.

6. Cyrus: Cyrus knows there’s a leak somewhere in the White House, and he’s sure hell bent on finding it. Too bad it’s in his own home, eh? Cyrus has Charlie steal Vanessa the Reporter’s SIM information on her phone, mimic it, and text Publius (aka his hubby, James) for a meeting. Noting that “this meeting cannot happen,” Cy tells Charlie to “take care of it” with a nod. Man, is this guy creepy or what?

7. Harrison: Harry is still hooking up with Adnan Salif, the smokin’ hot lady he’s so scared of but also apparently finds irresistible. That is, until she whips out a briefcase full o’ cash. Then he’s quaking in his tighty whities. But he does her bidding and gets her into Fitz’s charity dinner, where she gets in with Cyrus, right quick. Turns out she’s working with Maya Effing Pope. Cue the: !!!!! Harrison is probably screwed.

8. Fitz: The number of times we wanted someone (usually Liv or Mellie) to throw something heavy at Fitz or stab him in the eye with a sharp pen during this episode was too many to tally. At this point, Fitz is a lame duck who lets everyone else run his life and do his job, and he’s so crippled with jealousy over Olivia and Jake that he can barely take part in his own campaign. Ugh. The only stand he really takes is to tell Cyrus he doesn’t want Hollis’ (remember him?) money anywhere near the campaign. Too bad Cyrus has already made a deal with that devil.

9. David Rosen: You can’t ignore your girlfriend when she tells you she loves you, David. You just can’t. Aside from that, David basically babysits James this week and agrees to meet Vanessa as Publius. For a hot second it looks like he gets kidnapped for his efforts, but it turns out Abby and Harrison saved his butt. Abby gets a very sweet “I love you” out of it, when David is convinced he’s about to die and calls her from the car trunk.

10. James: James freaks out when he sees Cyrus talking to Vanessa the Reporter because James is the worst person to ever take on the role of double-crosser and is convinced Cyrus will find out he’s Publius in no time. He can’t lie, can’t keep his cool, and has no poker face to speak of. Case in point: he calls David Rosen to twitch about this development while standing like, 10 feet away from Cy and Vanessa. It’s like amatuer hour when James is on the case. Later, he freaks out more on the phone to David Rosen in the house he shares with the man he’s scared of finding all of this out. He’s pretty certain Cy will kill him. He’s...not wrong.

Questions to ponder for next week: Will Huck keep bringing Liv coffee? Will Mellie and Andrew Nichols hook up in the oval office and will Fitz walk in on them? Will Fitz ever start acting like the POTUS again? We’ll see you here next week for what looks like a shocker (during the last 30 seconds, at least).
