As Newsmax pushes on-air fundraising appeals for Rudy Giuliani's legal defense to its viewers, the conservative network also appears to be operating his donation website directly and collecting checks on behalf of the former New York mayor.
According to media watchdog Media Matters for America, the website that Newsmax anchors urge viewers to donate to, RudyFund.com, redirects to a Newsmax-hosted domain, which indicates that the network processes the actual donations the site receives. The website offers potential donors the opportunity to mail physical checks to a Florida P.O. box as well, and that address is listed on the Newsmax contact page as its mailing address.
