Molly Butler / Media Matters In recent days, the Trump dead-ender outlet Newsmax has been sending sponsored messages from companies stating that readers should invest in gold because “the election is over'' and Joe Biden will soon be inaugurated president. Since Biden won last month’s election, Newsmax has been creating an alternative and false reality where President Donald Trump actually won but was thwarted by supposed election fraud. The company hasbeenpushing the pro-Trump narrative -- and the Trump team's numerous attempts to overturn the election results -- as a way to compete against fellow right-wing network Fox News. Trump himself has repeatedlypromoted Newsmax over Fox News, and The Washington Post recently reported that “behind the scenes, Trump has told others that pitting Newsmax and OAN against Fox News puts pressure on the larger network to cover him more favorably.”
