On July 15, 2025, Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host known for her fiery style, and Tyrus, the outspoken Gutfeld! contributor, shook the media world with a Manhattan press conference where they declared an open war on the big three broadcast networks—CBS, NBC, and ABC. Their rallying cry, “You’ve poked the bear, now you’ll feel the wrath!” was not mere rhetoric. Backed by a fictional $2 billion war chest from Fox News, conservative donors, and figures like Elon Musk, the duo promised to dismantle what they call the “liberal media establishment,” a campaign that immediately sent shockwaves across the industry.

Pirro and Tyrus unveiled an audacious strategy combining legal action and public mobilization. Pirro, acting as the interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., and Tyrus, commanding a social media following of 3 million, quickly garnered attention. Their ultimate goal: launch TruthWave, a Fox-led streaming platform designed to rival NBC’s Peacock and CBS’s Paramount+, providing a direct pipeline for conservative perspectives.

Central to their campaign was a belief that the mainstream networks “suffocate truth” and suppress conservative voices. According to Pirro, the big three have long manipulated public perception and promoted left-wing ideologies. Now, armed with massive financial backing, the duo was ready to strike.

Pirro and Tyrus targeted CBS, NBC, and ABC for what they claim is “unfair reporting,” particularly concerning coverage of Donald Trump’s economic policies. They criticized the networks for downplaying Trump’s $500 million aid package for Texas flood relief and alleged selective reporting designed to undermine the former president.

During the press conference, Tyrus thundered, “They’ve fed America lies for decades—time to pay!” He specifically cited the 2024 election coverage and argued that mainstream networks had systematically misrepresented conservative policies. Pirro announced plans to file FCC complaints regarding biased reporting, including coverage of Trump’s $1 trillion DOGE cuts and a 15% tariff hike on U.S.-EU trade.

TruthWave is positioned as a direct challenge to mainstream media. With a projected staff of 200 former Fox employees, including recognizable personalities like Pete Hegseth, the platform aims to provide a conservative alternative for news, politics, sports, and entertainment. Analysts predict it could generate up to $1 billion in subscriptions by 2026.

In addition to the streaming platform, Tyrus spearheaded a “Truth Blitz” campaign, mobilizing 1,000 social media influencers to highlight perceived bias in mainstream coverage. Clips and commentary went viral across X and other platforms, with hashtags like #FoxFightsBack and #MediaLies dominating online conversations, signaling unprecedented public support.

The traditional networks responded swiftly. CNN dismissed Pirro’s legal threats as stunts, while NBC’s Lester Holt highlighted Fox’s past $1.6 billion Dominion settlement. ABC reportedly set up a $10 million crisis PR fund. However, Pirro’s legal authority as interim U.S. Attorney added an additional layer of pressure, raising speculation about potential investigations into network practices and political coverage.

Public reaction to the campaign has been deeply polarized. A fictional Gallup poll suggested that 60% of respondents supported Fox’s “truth fight,” while critics warned that the battle could deepen societal divides. Protests outside ABC studios reflected the tension, as supporters rallied behind Pirro and Tyrus. Former President Trump publicly endorsed their efforts on Truth Social, further boosting TruthWave’s visibility and viewership. Within days, Gutfeld! achieved 3.2 million viewers, surpassing CBS’s Late Show.

The rise of TruthWave represents a seismic shift in media dynamics. Pirro and Tyrus are challenging not only the corporate giants but also the very structure of how news is consumed in America. Their efforts raise critical questions about media influence, corporate power, and the potential for alternative platforms to reshape narratives.

Whether seen as a revolutionary movement or a high-stakes gamble, the campaign highlights an ongoing battle for control over the nation’s information flow. As Pirro and Tyrus push forward, one question remains: will TruthWave redefine the media landscape, or will entrenched networks fight back with equal force? The fight for the future of news has only just begun.
