Topic: Chris Ruddy

Emerald Robinson reports that Fox News and Newsmax accepted secret federal funding to promote COVID-19 vaccines to their conservative audiences. Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy is criticized for writing articles praising Biden's vaccine efforts while allegedly under contract with the government. This financial arrangement is blamed for the firing of reporters who attempted to question vaccine safety.

Root discusses his departure from Newsmax, claiming he was terminated because of his vocal criticism of Joe Biden and the vaccines. He alleges that Newsmax owner Chris Ruddy was influenced by a CNN segment featuring Chris Cuomo that attacked Root. The discussion highlights the "leftist bubble" in New York media and the eventual downfall of the Cuomo brothers.
