Newsmax Denies Report They Offered Vivek Ramaswamy More Air Time for Ad Buys

Newsmax is denying a report that claimed entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy was offered more air time on their network in exchange for increased advertising purchases.
The report suggested that Ramaswamy complained to Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy about not being given prime time guest appearances, with Ruddy allegedly suggesting buying more ad space.
Newsmax spokesperson Bill Daddi stated that there is no correlation between advertising and editorial visibility for any candidate on Newsmax, but advertising is a common way for candidates to reach their audience on any network.
