To the shock of absolutely no one a host at Newsmax was caught lying in an attempt to stir up controversy as people’s lives go up in flames. Gotta love it.
Anyone listening to NewsMaga in the first place will never get accurate or real news. That whole network was build as a Trump and MAGA propaganda station. Just because something has NEWS in the title, people assume it’s been fact checked and verified.
Without Harris publicly announcing that his comments were not correct on his platform directed to his 725k followers, they will believe and be repeating this incorrect statement. The deletion of the post will largely go unnoticed by his followers.
Absolutely!! It's brave to own and apologize for spreading misinformation. And it borders on cowardice to just delete it in darkness. Who are these people who call themselves journalists?! Please step aside.
Most don't even call themselves 'journalists' - they are 'podcasters'/'social influencers'. People accept those as a valid alternative and the actual 'journalists' are shackled by editors who have forgotten what the fourth estate is actually for. See Ann Telnaes' integrity for quitting over that.
Fox isn't a news organization. Fox stated at first libel trial, they can't be sued because they're entertainment organizations, but yet they spew mis/disinformation by the minute as news. Maga loves gossip, innuendo, and outrage.
Yep. Because those followers will (correctly) say "I remember reading that...(enter whatever the current disinformation of the day is)". Without a countering statement amending that; they will never know otherwise.
I'm honestly surprised he even deleted his tweet, most of the time nowdays the right just insists they're correct, fact checking and reality has little meaning
Yep. Some people want to denigrate CA so badly, they forget there's real people doing a dangerous job in fighting these fires, and they end up insulting firefighters and others, which in turn makes them look like total assholes. Gov Newsome's response hit the mark.
Im from CA. Always thought it was terrible when the hurricanes hit red states, I am disgusted with the politicization people acting like California deserves it. Been evacuating my entire life and no matter how much brush burns off, how much water supply, the budget, homes burn, sometimes cities.
Why must we put up with the lies from the idiot republicans? When people are dealing with so much devastation, what’s the point?
Wtf is wrong with you morons? Do us all a favor and STFU!
Only MAGA would trust anything from a news source who says "Checkout my merch below". I guess with Trump as their Orange God, this kind of grifting is just normal now.
Newsmax...entertainers at best. If you happen to be a real journalist & you can't get hired as a professional, you can always get a job at Newsmax. Disgusting, unethical sheep.This David Harris gutless goof would be watched very carefully on our farm when mooching around the sheep pen.
Given the events during and after Hurricane Helene, and now this, they not only face the immense challenge of disaster recovery but also the added burden of combating zealot grifters who spread misinformation for clicks and profit. This is the new norm thanks to Musk and Zuckerberg.
I can’t stand these MAGAt’s trying to get their 15 minutes of fame on the misinformation of what’s happening in our state right now. Thankfully Newsom called him out and made him look like the idiot he is. 🥴
It's not that they are trying to get their 15 of fame, it's that they actually think it's true. They don't fact check, especially if it fits their worldview. If you fact check them, they run to the comfort of another lie that's been told multiple times on multiple formats by unsuspecting believers.
The Fairness Doctrine was only constitutional for application to holders of broadcast licenses due to the public ownership and scarcity of the broadcast airwaves. Red Lion v FCC.
It cannot apply to print. Miami Herald v Tornillo.
Cable and internet are private subscription services with content intended only for subscribers. Content regulations would violate the First Amendment. US v Playboy and Reno v ACLU.
Why do these MAGAt monsters take every opportunity they can to make tragedies and catastrophes even worse by spreading lies and disinformation? Are they some subspecies of human? WTH is wrong with them?
They can't accept that their guy is an absolute fucktard loaiar, cheater and scumbag and so they have to make his opponents look worse. They have been trained to lie for him, because it's a cult and that's what cults do.
No subspecies. MAGA leaders have just learned that lying about their political opponents is an effective way to increase political support. If people have to choose between (A) "We need to change our way of life" and (B) "Crooked politicians are destroying our country", the choice is B. 1/
Social media has given unscrupulous individuals an unprecedented opportunity to manipulate other people. And they even get paid for it. It's ridiculous that the most trusted sources of information are behind a paywall. X and Meta should be banned in all civilised countries. 2/2
I couldn't agree more
There may be some positives from these platforms but I don't believe they outweigh the negatives and society needs to act to remove these cancerous bodies.
Once again, the Right wing propagandists creates false narrative and the Democrats spend weeks playing catch up and playing the game on their terms. Democrats seem to have permanently lost the media war, especially when most of country wants to believe in the lies because they are salacious.
Some IG videos with crazy likes and commenters sucking it right up telling the same story. The constant barrage of this stuff is destroying people’s minds and creating an alternate reality that people don’t seem to even realize they are in because they 100% believe this shit.
It figures old ass white man from Oklahoma City with a shitty goatee lying out his ass about everything during a crisis in California. Just wait until a devastating tornado hits that shithole state and those snowflakes from that shithole state will be crying for handouts.
Right wingers to the core, don’t give af about people and animals suffering through this catastrophic fire, don’t give af about climate change. Much too busy spreading propaganda and misinformation for their boss daddies! They should be ashamed of themselves!
Calling out bullshit by those forces against democracy and truth will needed by all of us for next 4 years and beyond. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social THANK YOU
Willful ignorance and the purposeful lies that are forever accompanying that shit is well on the way to killing more than half of us before 2050. Way to go, MAGAts.
Hey @newsmax.com have you no decency? Blocking you for the appalling lack of journalistic ethics and interest in truth telling. Do your grifting click baiting elsewhere. Every one working for you should be ashamed of themselves!
Where do these idiots get these ridiculous LIES? It’s despicable on its face, but even worse because of the tragic circumstances. Trump’s MAGA cult normalizes and idolizes lies and conspiracy theories - thank goodness Gavin Newsom shuts so many of them down!
Conservatives do this thing where one of them makes a nasty, mean-spirited joke, and then the rest of them pass it along as breaking news. That's how the "litterboxes in schools" hoax got started.
The tactic here is that they will spread these garbage horrible hideous lies and then people on the right will like them and spread them. The damage is already done. It's an akin to a person starting a fire and then just sitting back and watching it spread everywhere.
This is a perfect example of what we all must do CONSTANTLY as we face Trumpish lies over the next 4 years. Confront. Tell the truth. Bring shame on the shameful.
Well, good this time. But Newsmax doesn't often take back its lies. And it's just 1 station in a vast complex of lying Right Wing media w the purpose of getting GOPers elected.
an ugly white supremist racist ☆sshole trying to sell his merch off lies and the tragedy others are losing lives, futures, every thing they own... humm🤔 who does that sound like?
Doesn’t matter if it is a lie, they said it & their M-idiots will believe it. There will be no repercussions about this of course so spread the truth as much as you can.
Newsome and the state of CA need to sue that jackass and NewsMax. There needs to be an example set to stop these assholes from thinking they can blatantly lie.
This is how you fight back, every day, every time. Yes it's exhausting but has to be done! (Throw in a couple of their favorite tool, some lawsuits, will help too.)
Unprofessional and substandard, a self-humiliation. In other words, a lying sack of shit. Why do they debase themselves, is it some kind of self-loathing or revenge against their parents?
It's much easier for him to delete his post than it is to admit that he lied. Most of the NewsHoax readers will have read the post, and not even be aware of the deletion. They may, however, notice if there was a retraction.
Not only is David J Harris an idiot, looks like an idiot, sounds like an idiot, he's also a lying scumbag idiot.
Somewhere in the US, a village is missing an idiot...best he goes back there.
Newsom and other CA leaders has been faced with so much misinformation this past week that Newsom had to sit down for a three hour podcast debunking the lies and hoaxes and stating the facts so that people aren’t more worried than what they already are. Just shut down Twitter at this point.
This kind of bullshit had FEMA workers being threatened in North Carolina. People who listen to this shit and do not do even a modicom of research for themselves, are morons. Mindless.
These @newsmax.com people are absolute pieces of shit. Hey, why don’t you guys make a donation to World Central Kitchen and attempt to help people instead of knowingly lying about a tragedy.
X has become a cesspool of misinformation and lies, encouraged by its owner Elon Musk.
Some of these idiots like this Newsmax host forget that deleting their tweets don’t necessarily mean they are really deleted.
These guys are so clueless about the human suffering going on by the victims of these horrific fires in LA. Everything they post is for clicks with no compassion. Thanks Frump!
Just how low do you have to go to make up such horrendous lies about your countrymen from another state going through complete hell during a crisis -
They are just soulless in my book -

INFORMATION FLASH: they don’t do that.
That more than 3 people actually listen to these charlatans is forever a shame to our society.
Wtf is wrong with you morons? Do us all a favor and STFU!
They are a danger to society with their mental incapacity but more likely mental issues.
But there is no funding, so we are left with deranged psychopaths.
It cannot apply to print. Miami Herald v Tornillo.
MAGA's epitaph.
There may be some positives from these platforms but I don't believe they outweigh the negatives and society needs to act to remove these cancerous bodies.
These people would just be a hilarious sideshow but for a huge segment of our fellow Americans being utter dipshits and taking it seriously.
Oh wait, that's propaganda! What does Dora say to Ass-Swiper?
"Liar, no lying! Liar, no lying!"
Fuck that POS, and Alex Jones, and any of these other POSs who lie for a living. Gtfoh, or we do work. 🫠🔫
We need to go back to suing for libel.
Call it what it is. Treat it as it is. Stop giving people like this freebies.
How can it be defined as anything other than pure evil?
He should go and work for RT in Russia, they like propaganda and lies too.
Asshat

That’s how MAGAtWorld functions.
If I posted this on Meta, you might believe it because Zuckerberg has halted fact checking.
Thank you, @governor.ca.gov for addressing the lies, managing trolls and leading your great state!
These people have lost everything and these types of dips are getting clicks on lies....
Which could stop FEMA relief, which could be considered obstruction
Making them hear their laughter before disconnecting.
would this fall under libel & slander laws?
perhaps they will double triple check references & cite evidence before spreading lies if it hits their pocket book & savings account.
Somewhere in the US, a village is missing an idiot...best he goes back there.
Posting completely fake news, then deleting it when called out is how they spread lies.
Either fight fire w/ fire, or take him to court. Or both.
Start an unsubstantiated story about him & retract it only if called out.
I heard that David J Harris Jr is a pedophile
(And FYI - calling someone a pedo is also not defamation.)
He's trying to damage the reputation of the state and especially its government.
Now, STFU.
Conservative media whores death/misery profiteering and lying to push a 100% bullshit agitprop narrative?
Some of these idiots like this Newsmax host forget that deleting their tweets don’t necessarily mean they are really deleted.
Before ya know it, all the accounts left there are gonna look like this Cletus.
