NYC Targets Newsmax in Taxis, Seeks Ban
31st January 2026
New York’s Manhattan borough president has launched a campaign targeting Newsmax and seeking its ban in the city’s taxicabs.
Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal, a Democrat, announced this week that he is demanding Mayor Zohran Mamdani pull Newsmax from the city’s taxi TV screens.
Newsmax called the move an “act of pure censorship.”
New York City’s taxicabs are privately owned. The City issues licenses — called “medallions” — to cab owners.
