adminMegyn Kelly’s San Antonio stop of Megyn Kelly Live brought a rare and important conversation to a conservative audience when she sat down with Glenn Greenwald on October 27, 2025. The exchange wasn’t a softball stroll; it was an unapologetic takedown of how journalism has too often abandoned its duty to the public and become a factional weapon.
Greenwald reminded viewers that real journalism must speak truth to power no matter which party is in charge, and he didn’t shy away from his own history — from publishing Edward Snowden’s disclosures to the career costs of reporting that cut against the establishment narrative. He recounted how the pressure on honest reporting intensified after 2016 and suggested that outlets once proud to be adversarial watchdogs had become addled by factional loyalty.
Conservatives should listen closely when someone who exposed NSA overreach warns that the national security apparatus and corporate media have too often been merged into a single, unaccountable power. Greenwald’s record — from the Snowden revelations to founding The Intercept — shows what happens when journalists actually do their jobs and make the powerful uncomfortable, and why the establishment lashes back.
He also spoke bluntly about being pushed out of the outlet he helped create after reporting on the Biden controversies, a reminder that internal censorship and career risk are now routine tools to enforce ideological conformity. This isn’t just one man’s grievance; it’s symptomatic of a media class that protects its political allies and punishes dissenting journalists.
Megyn Kelly’s own journey away from corporate newsrooms toward independent media shows the conservative path forward: build platforms that refuse to kowtow to advertisers, corporate bosses, or partisan gatekeepers. Kelly has been clear she won’t “sell her soul” to a corporate overlord, and that independence is where honest reporting can thrive outside the echo chamber.
Americans who love their country should demand media that treats power with equal suspicion whether it wears a red tie or a blue one. Support independent outlets, reward reporters who risk careers to reveal uncomfortable truths, and stop subsidizing institutions that have become partisan megaphones rather than public servants.
If we’re serious about freedom, we’ll reclaim journalism as a true fourth estate — skeptical of every powerful interest, accountable to citizens, and unafraid of speaking plain truths. That revival starts with ordinary patriots choosing courage over convenience and truth over tribalism.
