Chris Ruddy is a noted journalist and entrepreneur, and CEO of Newsmax Media, Inc., the parent company of NEWSMAX, America’s fastest-growing cable news channel. 

In 1998, Ruddy founded Newsmax, a multimedia publishing company that publishes online and offline content in the fields of news, politics, health and finance. Newsmax.com ranks consistently as one of the country's most trafficked news Web sites.

A Newsweek cover story named him as one of America's top 20 most influential news media personalities. He also studied as a Media Fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace at Stanford University.

When DirecTV and its parent company AT&T made the decision to drop one of the fastest growing and top news networks in America — Newsmax, it prompted calls from lawmakers to investigate the real motive behind this move. They say it's censorship and political bias — and so does Chris Ruddy. He joins "Huckabee" to talk about that and more. Be sure to watch his interview on "Huckabee."
