Last Friday (7/17), Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy addressed the attendees at The FAMiLY Leader’s Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines. Among the topics Ruddy spoke about included the FCC’s move to abandon the 39% ownership cap for television stations. Ruddy warned that FCC chairman Brendan Carr’s plan “is dangerous and would allow two or three corporations to dominate local television news, reducing competition, independent journalism, and threatening religious broadcasters.” He noted that conservative organizations including CPAC, the National Religious Broadcasters, and the Zionist Organization of America oppose lifting these ownership limits. Ruddy also took the opportunity to address how broadcasters view the American people, saying, “Polling consistently shows Americans are far more center-right than portrayed by the legacy media. There is a growing disconnect between public opinion and media narratives.” See more about Ruddy’s speech at Newsmax here.
