"We're proud of the Newsmax team led at night by Rob Schmitt," Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy said, noting that "our numbers are even more impressive considering CNN is available in 20 million more homes and we still beat them."
"It's clear that if Newsmax was in the same number of homes as CNN and MSNBC, we'd be beating them across prime time this week," he said.
