Newsmax, a right-wing news channel, is suing Fox News, claiming Fox illegally tried to stop Newsmax's growth. The lawsuit alleges Fox used its market power to pressure cable providers not to carry Newsmax or to give it less prominent placement. This stems from the aftermath of the 2020 election, when Fox lost viewers to Newsmax. Fox denies the allegations, stating Newsmax's lawsuit is a result of its own failures. The suit cites internal Fox communications revealing concern over Newsmax's growing viewership and its potential impact on Fox's market share.
