Basically the website may be using your MAC info. and cookies to determine what you can display / view, via a specific MAC address for that device. Also your browser settings would need to be reviewed in detail to determine the differences between your phone and your home computer. You could research this further through Google searches and policies, but most likely there is at least one setting amiss on the home computer browser or applied policies. Alternatively you could do a uninstall and a fresh install of the browser software on the home computer. Compare the browser release versions installed on both the phone and the home computer. Compare the policies in force for each machine, and note differences, make revisions accordingly then try viewing comments after restarting your home computer.

Update: When I attempt to read comments on NewsMax.com - I am redirected to a LOGIN page - meaning that I must either create an account or LOGIN to an existing NewsMax account. Is your phone already Logged into an existing NewsMax account while your home computer is not ?

Number 1 --- LOG OFF / LOG OUT of the NewsMax account on all three devices. NEVER - EVER leave an account like that or on any other website per- - LOGGED IN.
You are exposing yourself to serious compromise by keeping your account login active / logged in. News websites among many other commercial websites are active targets by criminals and nation state actors who target these websites to retrieve your credentials - and thus potentially direct attacks at you. Your PII can possibly be gleaned from the info. you leave at NewsMax in the form of your email address, your MAC address, and others. A determined actor can hijack your NewsMax account and pose as you thereby compromising your digital reputation - identity.
Exercising proper security posture requires you give up some level of convenience.
Make 100% certain that ALL of your electronic devices including your phone - home computer (s) - et all ... are fully updated, completely patched with all relevant security updates BEFORE going back to NexsMax.
BTW since you continue to have some issues reading comments at the website on your home computer - are you running a supported OS and do you perform regular and routine patch management activities for this machine ?
