Kari Lake tore into the so-called mainstream press on Rob Schmitt Tonight this week, calling out the media’s relentless bias and refusing to let their lies stand unchallenged. Lake has repeatedly labeled the legacy outlets “fake news” and warned that the journalists who peddle partisan narratives are doing real damage to the country. Her blunt language is exactly what patriotic Americans expect from someone who won’t bow to the media mob.
On the program she explained, plainly and without apology, that the press doesn’t just report news anymore — they shape it, sanitize it, and bury stories that expose corruption when it suits their allies. That’s not journalism; it’s narrative management, and Lake rightly called attention to how this behavior skews public perception and shields powerful people from scrutiny. Conservative voters have watched this pattern for years, and Lake’s willingness to name it is refreshing and necessary.
Lake also pressed the point that government-funded outlets and legacy networks have created an editorial firewall that protects certain narratives while demonizing dissenting voices. She’s raised alarms about institutional rot at outlets that should serve the people rather than powerful interests, arguing that taxpayer dollars and public trust should never be used to underwrite propaganda. Americans deserve news that tells the truth, not a curated storyline designed to placate the ruling class.
This isn’t mere rhetorical flourish — it’s a wake-up call. When reporters behave like propagandists and lie spreaders, they erode confidence in every civic institution and hand cultural ground to the enemies of freedom. Conservatives know the consequences: lawlessness at the border, weakened national defense, and a media that excuses the excesses of the left while vilifying those who fight for law and order.
The remedy is straightforward: call out the lies, support independent outlets that will report honestly, and demand accountability from journalists who have abandoned their duty. Kari Lake is doing what too many in the Republican Party won’t — she’s naming the problem and pushing for real reform in the way America’s stories are told. If conservatives stay silent, the media will keep writing the country’s future for us, and it will not be a future worth passing on to our children.
Patriots should take heart that voices like Lake’s are refusing to surrender the truth. Tonight’s interview was more than talk; it was a clarion call for Americans to stop trusting the narrative machine and start insisting on facts, fairness, and the restoration of honest journalism. Stand with those who will fight for the truth, because a free republic depends on it.
