The liberal media has become less a source of information and more an organized narrative machine, and Megyn Kelly’s recent conversation with Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson laid that bare for anyone paying attention. They didn’t tiptoe around it — they called out how consistent misreporting and omitted facts create a misinformed public that then votes and lives based on lies. The program’s catalog of examples should alarm every patriot who cares about the truth and the future of this republic.
One of the clearest scandals is the near-total blackout or downplaying of troubling Biden family revelations, a pattern Jashinsky and Johnson highlighted repeatedly. When any story that could dent a favored political narrative shows up, the corporate press either buries it or floods it with excuses and smears, while actual investigative outlets do the work that once defined journalism. That rot erodes trust and hands Democrats cover to govern without scrutiny.
The double standard in coverage is glaring: when Republicans show vulnerability the cameras pan in, but when prominent Democrats stumble or show clear fitness concerns the media practices whataboutism and silence. Kelly and her guests pointed to how some officials’ health gets hyped as a crisis while others’ obvious frailties are politely ignored. Americans are tired of the selective compassion and dishonest thresholds that protect the political class.
Immigration has been another area where spin has replaced straight reporting, and the consequences are not theoretical — cities and states are feeling the strain. The guest commentary on the show made clear that downplaying border chaos and parroting administration talking points isn’t neutral reporting; it’s advocacy disguised as news. Voters deserve honest coverage about the costs, safety concerns, and policy failures that affect their daily lives.
On the campaign trail and in the polls, the media’s narratives often collapse under the weight of reality: when outlets obsess over manufactured controversies, real issues like leadership, competence, and corruption go underreported. Kelly’s discussion noted polling trends where voters express unease about Joe Biden’s age and where Donald Trump, even under relentless legal assaults, still outperforms expectations in headlines and head-to-head matchups. The press can pump out spin, but it can’t erase voters’ lived impressions forever.
This isn’t just about politics; it’s about how fear and spectacle now drive headlines. The show’s guests rightly mocked climate panic headlines and other alarmist takes that treat every weather blip as an existential crisis, a pattern that conditions citizens to accept constant emergency-level politics. If our institutions demand perpetual panic, they also manufacture consent for extreme policies that would never pass sober, informed debate.
Emily Jashinsky and Eliana Johnson represent the kind of skeptical, unflinching reporting the mainstream abandoned — and their work matters because it pulls back the curtain on the press’s agenda. Conservatives should not be shy about supporting independent outlets, backing journalists who refuse to sanitize corruption, and pushing for true accountability from legacy media. The alternative is to surrender our information ecosystem to an elite class that profits from confusion and keeps the public pliant.
Patriots who value the Constitution and honest citizenship must push back hard against this deception. Demand transparency, patronize outlets that do actual reporting, and vote with a clear head instead of headlines spun by activists in newsrooms. The republic won’t save itself; truth is a muscle we have to exercise, and this moment calls for it more than ever.
