Newsmax: Methinks Thou Dost Protest Too Much

From this:

Newsmax announced today that veteran news anchor and broadcaster Greta Van Susteren will join the network as host of “The Record with Greta Van Susteren,” adding her three decades of experience in journalism to the rising cable channel.

Based in Washington, D.C., and set to premiere on Tuesday, June 14, “The Record with Greta Van Susteren” will lead the network’s weeknight lineup with a solid hour of factual, fair, and independent perspective on the news.

Here’s a question: why does a “news” source have to describe itself as “factual, fair, and independent?”  Does the New York Times go out of its way to convince readers that it’s legitimate?

This is disgraceful. Learning that Van Susteren is joining a sewer of disinformation like Newsmax late in her career is akin to reading that Barack Obama is opening up a used car lot.
