Watching Rob Finnerty take on Chuck Todd on Thursday’s Finnerty was a reminder that conservatives no longer have to beg for a fair hearing — we can demand it. Todd, the face of legacy NBC journalism for years, sat across from Finnerty and tried to lecture about media mistakes, even admitting that de-platforming Donald Trump fractured the public’s trust in old-line outlets.
The Epstein files remain the combustible center of the evening’s fight, with the Department of Justice’s recent announcements — including assertions about the absence of a so-called “client list” and determinations about Epstein’s death — doing nothing to calm Americans who smell cover-up. Newsmax guests and hosts rightly pressed that the rapid, sanitized releases funnel public attention away from unanswered questions about rich and powerful people who trafficked and abused children.
If you watch closely, there’s a pattern: when stories threaten the influential, the timing of Department of Justice statements and the media’s focus shift like clockwork. Finnerty and his panel argued that the parade of pronouncements — and the cable-news reluctance to push beyond the official narrative — reads like coordination, not accountability, and ordinary Americans deserve the whole file, not a friendly press summary.
The same hypocrisy shows up in how the left’s billionaire patrons run their newsrooms. The debate turned to Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post, where staff cuts and editorial meddling have left the paper hollowed out and Democrats scrambling to blame anyone but the owner. Conservatives have long warned that concentrated media power corrupts coverage; the Post’s sweeping layoffs and editorial changes prove those warnings were not alarmism but prophecy.
Chuck Todd represents the old guard that gaslights the public about bias while protecting the establishment that feeds them. He can wring his hands about “polarization,” but when push comes to shove he defends an ecosystem that buries inconvenient truths and shields elite institutions from scrutiny — the very behavior that has driven millions of Americans to seek real reporting elsewhere. The collapse of faith in legacy outlets is no accident.
Here’s the bottom line: Americans deserve transparency, not theater. Senators and conservative voices on Finnerty are right to demand the full release of Epstein’s files and the kind of oversight that forces answers out of both the deep state and media oligarchs. If we’re serious about justice and the truth, we must keep turning up the pressure until every document is public and every official is accountable.
