Rob Finnerty didn’t mince words on his primetime show when he warned that the legacy media have gone beyond mere bias against conservatives — they’ve “become anti-America” in their relentless pursuit of anti-Trump narratives. Americans who still get their news from the mainstream outlets know the tone: a constant drumbeat that sidelines inconvenient facts and elevates partisan talking points over patriotism. Finnerty’s primetime platform has become one of the few places on cable willing to call out that double standard and give working Americans a fair shake.
That complaint isn’t just hot air; even some inside the establishment now admit mistakes like the post‑January 6 de‑platforming of a sitting president made polarization worse and drove millions away from traditional sources. When mainstream hosts and producers decide what speech gets amplified or silenced, they stop being journalists and start acting like censors — and the consequence is a country with two different sets of “facts.” Americans deserve newsrooms that report without fear or favor, not editorial rooms that cheer for one political side.
The proof is in the polling: trust in the mass media has cratered to historic lows, with only about three in ten Americans saying they have a fair amount of confidence that newspapers, TV, and radio report the news fully and accurately. Those numbers aren’t a partisan tantrum; they’re a nationwide rejection of an industry that repeatedly puts spin ahead of truth, and Republicans in particular express near‑total distrust. When the public stops believing you, you’ve lost the most important thing a free press must have — credibility.
Viewership and platform habits reflect that breakdown: studies show a significant shift toward social media personalities and independent outlets for news, especially among younger audiences who rightly distrust the filter‑bubble narratives pushed by legacy outlets. The result is a flourishing ecosystem of independent voices — and a mainstream press clinging to its old power that it no longer deserves. Americans are voting with their remotes and their wallets for honest coverage that treats them like adults, not gullible consumers of propaganda.
Contrast that with the endless op‑eds and columns from once‑respected outlets that now read like campaign literature, and you’ll see why trust has collapsed: headlines that pick enemies, profiles that manufacture outrage, and a relentless insistence that one political philosophy represents patriotism while the other does not. The media’s job is to hold power to account regardless of party, not to become an arm of partisan warfare. It’s past time journalists remembered their oath to country first, ideology second.
Conservative outlets and honest journalists are filling the gap, giving Americans the coverage they crave — coverage that celebrates our values, defends free speech, and refuses to abandon the truth for a narrative. Networks like Newsmax are proof that when you stand up for American institutions and working families, people will tune in and support you. The growth of independent news options is a welcome corrective to the legacy press’s failures and a sign that the marketplace of ideas still works if we refuse to be silenced.
If patriots want real change, we should demand accountability from the media the same way we demand it from politicians: stop subsidizing biased reporting with your attention, support outlets that tell the whole story, and never accept the lie that dissent equals disloyalty. America is greater than any newsroom agenda, and the journalists who love this country must reclaim their profession before the last shreds of public trust are gone. The rest of us will keep fighting for honest news and a free nation worth defending.
