Conservative news outlet Newsmax, which some of the network’s hosts have been known to be extremely critical of vaccine mandates, is reportedly enforcing the OSHA-led vaccine mandate on all their employees.
News outlet Mediaite had reportedly obtained an internal email distributed to Newsmax employees that informed them that they must comply with the impending vaccine mandate being enforced by OSHA.
Newsmax employees were informed that they either need to be fully vaccinated by January 4th or be forced to undergo weekly testing for COVID.
“To ensure that we are in compliance, we require that all vaccinated employees submit a copy of their vaccination card.”
Chances are, this latest decision is not going to be received well with some of the staff – particularly some of the network’s hosts. As recently as November 4th, Newsmax host Steve Cortes engaged in a sort of diatribe rallying against vaccine mandates.
“There is zero, and I mean zero, moral or ethical obligation for anyone to be compelled to get vaccinated,” Cortes later added that the soon-to-be OSHA-enforced workplace mandate is “insane workplace discrimination.”
Newsmax has already endured scrutiny over recently taking one of their employees off the air earlier in November, White House correspondent Emerald Robinson.
