In an unprecedented act of defiance, Jeanine Pirro, the fiery former Fox News host, and Tyrus, the outspoken contributor to Gutfeld!, have declared all-out war against America’s big three broadcast networks—CBS, NBC, and ABC. On July 15, 2025, their rallying cry, “You poked the bear—now you’ll feel the wrath!” echoed through a packed press conference in Manhattan, signaling a seismic shift in the media landscape. With a purported $2 billion war chest, robust backing from conservative donors, Fox News, and even figures like Elon Musk, Pirro and Tyrus unveiled a campaign to dismantle what they call the “liberal media establishment.”

The Battle Lines Are Drawn

The stakes could not be higher. Pirro and Tyrus’s plan combines aggressive legal action with sweeping public mobilization. Pirro, now interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., brings legal firepower to the fight, while Tyrus commands a loyal army of 3 million followers across social media. Together, they aim to challenge the dominance of CBS, NBC, and ABC, accusing the networks of suffocating truth and manipulating public perception.

Central to their campaign is the launch of TruthWave, a Fox-led streaming platform intended to rival NBC’s Peacock and CBS’s Paramount+. But the duo’s crusade is about more than just market competition; it’s a deeply personal mission to restore what they see as lost freedom of speech and to break the stranglehold of left-leaning narratives in mainstream news.

Allegations of Bias and Misinformation

Pirro and Tyrus wasted no time in outlining their grievances. Their accusations center on what they call “unfair reporting,” particularly concerning coverage of Donald Trump’s economic policies. Pirro lambasted the networks for allegedly downplaying the impact of Trump’s $500 million aid package for Texas flood relief, insisting the story was undermined by slanted coverage.

Tyrus, never one to mince words, declared, “They’ve fed America lies for decades—time to pay!” He pointed to the networks’ coverage of the 2024 election, claiming systematic bias and manipulation designed to damage Trump’s image. According to Tyrus, the big three networks selectively reported on critical issues, ignoring or misrepresenting the actions of the former president.

Pirro laid out a legal strategy to file FCC complaints against CBS, NBC, and ABC, accusing them of “unfair reporting” on Trump’s so-called DOGE cuts—a $1 trillion economic move meant to reshape the country’s fiscal outlook. She argued that the 15% tariff hike imposed on imports through the U.S.-EU trade agreement was just the tip of the iceberg, part of a broader pattern of media manipulation aimed at undermining Trump’s political agenda.

Enter TruthWave: A Conservative Counterpunch

With $2 billion at their disposal, Pirro and Tyrus are determined to do more than just fight legal battles—they want to build an alternative media empire. Their answer is TruthWave, a streaming service designed to be a safe haven for conservative viewpoints and unfiltered news, directly challenging the dominance of mainstream platforms.

The plan is ambitious. TruthWave is set to hire 200 ex-Fox staffers, including prominent personalities like Pete Hegseth, and aims to offer everything from political analysis to sports and entertainment, all through a conservative lens. Forbes projects that the platform could reach a billion-dollar subscription base by 2026. Pirro and Tyrus believe TruthWave will become the go-to destination for viewers seeking an antidote to the “left-wing narratives” of CBS, NBC, and ABC.

But TruthWave isn’t their only weapon. Tyrus has launched a “Truth Blitz” social media campaign, rallying 1,000 influencers to expose bias in 2024 election coverage. Clips highlighting gaps and slanted commentary are flooding platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with hashtags like #FoxFightsBack and #MediaLies trending as millions join the conversation. In just days, the campaign has generated over 20 million posts, signaling massive grassroots support.

The Media Giants Respond

The response from CBS, NBC, and ABC was swift and fierce. CNN, in a pointed op-ed, dismissed Pirro’s legal threats as a public stunt, referencing her controversial 2019 Fox suspension for inflammatory remarks. NBC’s Lester Holt accused Tyrus of hypocrisy, pointing to Fox’s own $1.6 billion Dominion settlement—a scandal that rocked the network. ABC reportedly launched a $10 million crisis PR fund to combat the attacks.

Despite the backlash, Pirro’s new legal authority as interim U.S. Attorney has given her leverage. Some speculate she could initiate deeper investigations into network business practices, including advertising discrepancies and political coverage.

Public Opinion: A Nation Divided

As news of the campaign spread, the American public became sharply divided. According to a (fictional) Gallup poll, 60% of 1 million respondents backed Fox’s “truth fight,” while others condemned the media war as dangerous and divisive. Protests erupted outside ABC’s studios, met with heavy security but failing to stem the movement’s momentum.

Donald Trump himself endorsed Pirro’s efforts, posting on Truth Social, “Jeanine’s making media great again!” The endorsement sent the #TruthWave campaign into overdrive, boosting subscriber numbers and propelling Gutfeld! to 3.2 million viewers—surpassing CBS’s Late Show in a symbolic victory.

What’s Next for Media and Politics?

With Pirro and Tyrus pushing forward and TruthWave gaining traction, the future of American broadcast and streaming media is at a crossroads. Will their efforts succeed in reshaping the landscape, or will the pushback from mainstream media and advertisers stifle their movement?

Industry analysts are watching closely. If TruthWave continues to grow, it could usher in a new era of alternative media, forcing established networks to adapt or risk losing their audience. But the battle is far from over. CBS, NBC, and ABC have deep pockets and entrenched influence, and their response will likely be as aggressive as the attacks they face.

The Bigger Picture: Who Controls the Narrative?

At its core, the Pirro-Tyrus campaign is about more than ratings or market share—it’s about the power to shape narratives and control the truth. As alternative media platforms rise and traditional networks fight back, the rules of engagement are being rewritten in real time.

Whether Pirro and Tyrus are seen as revolutionaries or reckless agitators, their $2 billion gamble is forcing a national reckoning about bias, freedom of speech, and the future of news. The battle for America’s airwaves is just beginning—and its outcome will define how Americans get their news for years to come.

Will TruthWave mark the dawn of a new era, or will the media giants roar back even louder? In the high-stakes world of news, only time will tell.
