Funny. But your service can be taken away if you use it for bad intent.

Here's what I discovered about Newsmax:
"Who owns of newsmax magazine"
It's not a glowing endorsement:
"
Newsmax says it has 300,000 subscribers to the magazines, and it is one of the most visited news sites on the internet. It's strong right-wing slant is obvious and intended. Rush Limbaugh is a contributing editor, and has had Chris Ruddy on his popular talk radio show many times, as have Michael Reagan, Mike Savage, Neal Boortz and Sean Hannity. All are contributors/editors for the magazine and website, as are a number of other distinguished conservative pundits including Arnaud de Borchgrave (The Spike), Alexander Haig, Ronald Kessler and Richard Poe.
NewsMax makes about 8% of its revenues from selling branded and "conservative-themed" merchandise. There's quite a collection--everything from a Mount Rushmore framed lithograph to an audio tape "Pray and Be Rich," to a NYPD t-shirt to a Winston Churchill coffee mug. The company also partners with Random House to issue a series of co-branded books, all on neo-conservative themes. The line of books includes titles such as How to Raise an American, The Greatest Speeches of Ronald Reagan, How to Pay Zero Taxes and the best of all--If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans.
You can check out their website yourself at
Newsmax - Newsmax.com - Breaking News, Politics, Commentary, and do your Christmas shopping for all the Ronald Reagan fans on your Christmas list.
At the same time, you might want to look at some other articles about Newsmax, which is regularly taken to task for misleading reporting, failure to retract errors and other journalistic no-no's. A few I found particularly interesting were:
"Is NewsMax Corrupt?" by Terry Krepel of Conweb Watch:

"Newsmax Knows its Audience" by Farhad Manjoo on Wired: http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2000/12/40375"
Nationmater.com would appear to be a compilation of stories from the CIA worldfactbook, I can't say for sure if it would have a bias, but I suspect it would, certainly one would be suspicious of it being a wee bit biased

Gallup had to ask some pretty careful questions, and still didn't manage to make your point (regarding Canada, anyway), and Conrad Black's old newspaper managed to give you little more than an op-ed piece with no citations to back it up.
Sorry dude, but you need to do better than this.
