Fox News contributor Tyrus did what too many in conservative media have wanted to do for years: he called out Don Lemon for the desperate, attention-grabbing stunts that pass for journalism these days. In a blunt segment on Gutfeld!, Tyrus argued Lemon’s recent antics look less like reporting and more like a man frantically clawing back relevance from a town that has moved on.
This is not random partisan sniping; Lemon has repeatedly made headlines for inflammatory commentary and cringe-worthy stunts since his exit from prime network television. From mocking public figures to public meltdowns over mainstream outlets recognizing political opponents, his behavior has drawn rebuke from viewers across the political spectrum who are tired of media elites lecturing the rest of the country.
Tyrus’ take landed because it exposed a double standard: the same pundits who preach virtue signal loudly when conservatives slip up are forgiven every excess when they stumble. That hypocrisy is the real scandal, and conservatives should not be shy about pointing out that men like Lemon are often the loudest critics when they are the most guilty.
Watching these media personalities scramble for clicks while pretending moral high ground should sober any patriot who still believes in objective journalism. When a Fox panelist can look at Lemon’s year and flatly say, “It’s over,” he captures the public’s mood — America wants substance, not spectacle, and the era of celebrity punditry as moral arbiter is dying.
This is more than personal; it is cultural. Conservatives should treat Tyrus’ takedown as a test case in exposing the rotten incentives that drive legacy media: outrage, clicks, and self-preservation at the expense of honest reporting. The more we force these narratives into the light, the more Americans will see who is actually serving them and who is serving only their own brand.
Hardworking citizens know the difference between principled reporting and self-promoting theater, and Tyrus did them a service by saying exactly that on a national stage. Keep calling out the charade, keep demanding real accountability, and keep reminding the country that patriotism and plain common sense will always beat the hollow sermons of the coastal commentariat.
