This week Newsmax treated viewers to an unapologetic holiday roundtable — an “Unfiltered” hour where Carl Higbie, Rob Schmitt, Greg Kelly and Rob Finnerty tore into the liberal corporate media and defended the real, on-the-ground accomplishments of the Trump team. The segment was exactly what conservative viewers want: straight talk, sharp takes, and a refusal to bow to the mainstream’s manufactured outrage.
The hosts made plain what many Americans already know: the cable networks and legacy papers have a narrative to protect, and they will bend facts, ignore successes, and hype controversies to fit it. Rather than cheerleading for a partisan enemy, Newsmax’s Unfiltered men held the mirror up to the media and dared them to answer for their bias.
Rob Finnerty’s role in primetime has helped Newsmax grow a platform for voices the leftist outlets try to silence, and this roundtable showed why audiences are migrating to alternatives that don’t gaslight viewers. Finnerty, who was promoted into primetime to bring sharper debate and more honest coverage, anchored the conversation with energy and a clear conservative viewpoint.
Carl Higbie and Greg Kelly led the assault on the “narrative-first” media — pointing out that real policy wins, from border enforcement moves to economic growth spurts under a conservative agenda, are consistently downplayed or buried. If you rely on ABC, CNN or the New York Times for your news, you’ll hear the story they want you to hear, not the one that actually happened.
Rob Schmitt hammered home the media’s double standards by contrasting instant, breathless coverage of manufactured scandals with the slow, bored reporting on actual reforms and achievements. That kind of asymmetry isn’t reporting; it’s advocacy dressed up as journalism, and the roundtable rightly called it out.
Beyond the laughs and the barbs, the substantive point was clear: conservative accomplishments don’t magically become irrelevant because the press refuses to cover them fairly. Whether it’s regulatory rollbacks, energy independence, or renewed attention to law and order, conservative governance delivers measurable results — and the American people deserve honest coverage about them.
If the media wants respect, they can start by reporting the whole story and stop manufacturing consent for a political class that has failed this country. Until that day comes, networks like Newsmax and shows that refuse to play along will keep reminding Americans of the difference between political theater and real service to the nation.
