Power of lobbying and a company without a backbone. :o

Backbone is debatable, they know their chances of survival as an online news source with no broadcast is very, very low, so pulled out the bucks to hire a literally high-powered lobbyist.  Capitalism at its best!

Oh well, I don't do the dish, so whatever.
And I am never going to watch Newsmax anyway.
Bad enough so many of my patients watch FOX "News". UGH......
