Fox10 News Anchor Kari Lake has reflected on the trend-line for U.S. media and decided she can no longer participate in an industry that has devolved to a system of narrative engineering. Ms. Lake speaks directly to the issue of manipulated news feed script and she is no longer willing to participate in this activity.
Kari Lake: “Journalism has changed a lot since I first stepped into a newsroom… I don’t like the direction it is going. …I’m sure there are other journalists out there who feel the same way.”

Integrity! Hope she gets hired somewhere fast.
RSBN would be a great fit. She wants to report the unfiltered truth, and they need the professionalism to train up their talent pool.
Journalism died when the 24/7 news cycle came into fashion, and stories became “produced” instead of improvisational reporting.
Journalism died when every single mainstream media outlet was bought out and is now run by the same 6 globalists corporations. They all have membership in the Bilderberg crowd. Look it up.
Unfortunately most of the news media is controlled by the Globalist Crime Family Syndicate. Remember Jake *Jake from Fake Farm* Tapper’s veiled threats to people who worked for President Trump’s administration about maybe having a hard time finding employment after his re-election was stolen?
I don’t know Kari Lake, but kudos to her for speaking out. However, maybe after 22 years she’s one of the few who can afford to. That’s how these leftists bastards operate. They control so much of the media industry that they can hold people’s careers hostage and blackball them from getting hired.
Your comment about the media industry holding people’s careers hostage reminds me of the Hollywood stars’ complaints. My opinion, if you “have to” subject yourself to abuse of any kind in order to further your career, you are complicit in your own destruction. There are always other choices in life. Always.
Obviously, that’s easier to say than do.
When Trump, Lindell or someone starts a media company, they should grab her.
Better yet. I hope she runs for congress.
it appears at least one journalist finally got the memo
There must always be that first courageous person to lead the way. The rest will #metoo their way on out. But they aren’t stepping out into nowhere. She mentioned her “career” which more than merely suggests she’s going somewhere else.
Gonna try to contact her, to ask where to direct my contributions to her Congressional campaign, hopefully SENATE campaign, as she already has my vote!
You made me stop and think for a minute, Dutch. I think if more honest journalists and TV news anchors demand to be able to report unbiased and unspun facts, it will be far easier to expose and weed out the corrupt politicians and to recognize and promote the honest ones.
Because even if she gets into politics and wins a seat, the dishonest media will ignore or undermine and lie about her like they do to the few other honest ones. The dishonest media covers up the corruption from the millions who still watch or read the MSM.
So I’m ok if Kari Lake doesn’t go into politics but does something with journalism or promoting honest information about current events and culture, I’m ok with that too.
Sharyl Atkisson led the way years ago.
One honorable journalist. In the whole country.
Also remember the Young Guns – Jack Posobiec, Ryan Girdusky, Emerald Robinson, many others on OANN and even some on Newsmax.
But I bet the Dems are saying ‘It appears that one journalist did not get the memo.’ Hope she stays safe.
The one power we have prior to violence is the power of nullification. Don’t participate in staged events. Don’t pretend party matters while the CIA control outcome. Don’t pretend that the media reports ‘news’. To borrow from the hippies, it is time to tune in, turn on, drop out, and fight back…
As Solzhenitsyn said, “Live not by lies.”
If you haven’t read that incredible speech lately, you have no idea how it speaks today to us.
https://www.solzhenitsyncenter.org/live-not-by-lies
Thank you for that post!
In 1974 there was a free land to which Solzhenitsyn could be exiled.
The victims of the mass arrests (mass arrests – hundreds!!) that Chris Wray-FBI-Biden (Obama shadow govt?) is now inflicting on innocent Americans have nowhere else to go – no place for exile.
Yes, thank you for posting this relevant speech!
The first step, Kari, is to stop calling it “journalism.”
tl:
One of the posters here saw a Fox News bubblehead declare, on Sunday, just before President Trump’s speech, that the reason Trump lost the 2020 election was that he lost support from 2016 to 2020.
This is objectively, definitively not true. Donald Trump picked up 10 million votes (at least). The news media is now just making it up. It’s not spin, it’s not interpretation, it’s lies. One big lie demands more lies, and Fox’s official position is now that Biden won fair and square in a totally clean election. But, but where did all those votes come from? It can’t be explained..
I watched Mark Steyn being interviewed on Australia’s Sky News, which is News Corp, which is Fox. The Australian announcer was frantically dismissive of the claim that the 2020 election was stolen. The official News Corp position (or else) has literally gone around the world. The truth has no refuge (except the Last Refuge).
Word of advice, don’t watch TV!!!!!! It has become the propaganda messenger of the globalists. Focus on family, hobby, work, health, friends, etc. You can stay informed via alt. information sources on the internet. Keep it balanced; you will be happier.
I totally agree. Have not watched the news since the election. I could not even listen to Trump. I voted for him, will again if he runs but I am tired of hearing about what they did to us, what they plan to do, and what is going on right now.. No one is saying what we are going to do about and when. I KNOW what they did, what their plans on and what is happening right now. No one has to watch or listen to the news for that. Tell me what WE can do about it. Right now, the only thing I know we can do is petition our State Legislatures to get our elections OFFLINE, and reform the voter laws.
You want to know what WE can do about it right now?
Pray.
Pray a lot. And then pray some more.
And pray out of love, not desperation.
Great advice!
She put it so nicely.
And now she will be ridiculed for telling the truth.
I doubt most viewers ever thought about WHO is writing the script for these talents. Feeding fake news talking points to every station affiliate across America – big and small media markets.
Some liberal culture warrior type sitting in a cubicle in the NYC Fox/CBS headquarters who thinks Como saved lives and Orange Man Bad.
Makes one wonder about the need for a degree in journalism just to read a script.
Remember the movie Broadcast News? Smart, ugly people write the script, then pretty, stupid people read it on air.
The Democrat base is made up of unintelligent, unquestioning lemmings.
Too many of our friends and relatives fall into that category, too.
Pathetic.
Kayleigh McEnany joins Fox Spews.
https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2021/03/02/breaking-kayleigh-mcenany-joins-fox-news-n1429487
Too bad. I won’t be watching.
She did a fantastic job for President Trump. However, if Fox thinks they will increase their MAGA viewership by hiring her, I believe they will be disappointed.
I’ll have to read about it here, myself.
Speaking of Fox News, already flocking back to Fox.
I will admit I watched the President’s
State of the Union addressCPAC speech on FOX. They carried it without the usual interruptions to their leftist commentators.Watch online via
and other options, The National Pulse podcast, etc.
Cspan had it on TV.
”She told Faulkner that she had expected a peaceful protest but watched in shock as some protesters broke away and violently attacked the U.S. Capitol.
“I think at the beginning of the day, before everyone went to the rally, everyone was expecting peace,” McEnany recalled. “We had been to hundreds of rallies — I’ve probably been to hundreds at this point, certainly many dozens — and they were nothing but peaceful events, and we expected that day to be the same.”
These statements give the perception that she believes that it was Trump supporters who were responsible for the ”insurrection” at the Capitol. If she believes that and pushes that on Fox, she is no better than all the other ”faux” media puppets that are already on Fox. That saddens me because I always felt that she had Trump’s back.
I really don’t know if Kayleigh meant to leave that impression. However, I do know the snakes running Fox are going to try and prop up their flagging viewership of conservative viewers by hiring people like her.
I’ll have to read about it here, because I don’t watch Fox or any other cable news.
I think she’s to smart for that.
We’ll see.
Howard Hughes is attributed to saying Everyone has their price.
“Anything for a job”, eh Kayleigh?
Was throwing Trump and us under the bus with lies part of your employment opportunity?
They are the biggest. Pay the most. She was on CNN already. Maybe she should stay home?
She didn’t blame Trump. She said that they were all in shock. What happened was unexpected to them, as it was to everyone else. They had no way of knowing someone had preplanned to act out like that.
Hadn’t heard that. If accurate how sad is that?
As for Kayleigh McEnany joining Fox News– I don’t have warm fuzzy feelings about that. My suspicion is by hiring her they (the deep state establishment imbedded in Fox News) will keep her close and her narrative controlled. Perhaps she will see that in time. I hope for her sake that I am wrong, but I fear otherwise. Either way, I am not returning to Fox News. What do you think?
I won’t be watching regardless. But! The true test these days is wether or not people will talk openly about the Stolen Election and now, the SCOTUS appalling handling of same.
If Kayleigh does that, kudos to her.
And if she does that, maybe I’ll be tempted to click on FNC again.
Otherwise….fuggedaboudit.
Arizona4Biden?=FoxNews=Never anymore!
Only if President Trump runs FoxNews……I don’t think so.
Don’t be tempted, that is exactly what they are hoping for to help their ratings. Just don’t do it!
Lou Dobbs talked about the stolen election and remember what happened to him.
If she talks on air about Election Fraud, and the Stolen Election, they will fire her and that will increase her standing with MAGA movement.
Hope she does the right thing and salvages the fox-poop mess she stepped into.
I don’t know what to think of it. Will Fox use her as the controlled opposition? Probably.
My suggestions? Move past caring what Fox thinks, says, or does.
I don’t give a damn about Rupert’s misbegotten spawn and his network, but I do care about exposing their duplicity with people who still believe Fox represents conservatives.
We need to reach those people to help them see the marionette strings that Sundance has helped us to see.
I agree – even when Fox is mildly good e.g. Bartiromo or Tucker, the interviews are so short and shallow as to be almost meaningless.
Joshua Philips and Jan Jekeliek on Epoch Times have much more interesting interviews. Bannon’s Warroom, Newsmax Greg Kelly, OAN, the National Pulse etc etc are better. And of course the number one in the world- ‘conservative treehouse’!
Agree 100% about Epoch Times interviews!
They are a Zillion times better than any of the others!
Think about it. Why would KM take a job at Fox–the news network that sold Pres Trump and the American people out after he and we made their ratings go through the roof ?!
Does Kayleigh need a job that badly? 30 pieces of silver–that’s all this is. Betrayal seems to be all these people are capable of.
Seems everybody’s a a conservative when it’s expedient and/or until someone offers them a whole bunch of money.
Sorry, but I think that is unfair to her. Look at all the yobos gunning for anyone in the Trump admin. “They shouldn’t get a job anywhere” crap. She’s a young woman in the early to mid of her career, a long way from retirement and probably not independently wealthy. I’m not going to lob stones at her since I have not walked in her shoes. I am hopeful she will do the right thing as best she can.
Same here. Loved her as press sec. Now that she’s a Fox employee, don’t plan on watching Fox, nor her at all.
When Kayleigh was PS for President Trump I watched her give the press conferences. That is it.
She used to work for Fox when Huckabee was there. She worked for him behind the scenes.
This is another area where Trump and some of his key people to be out of touch. This is similar to Trump’s initiative to get back on Facebook…
President Trump has to reach the people who don’t know what we know, and not just sing to the choir.
Just a thought: infiltration?
The only FOX you should be watching is their nearest C-band uplink dish to you. Through the reddot reflex sight attached to your silent bungee lancher. Right before you stick a squid with aluminium tails cut between 75mm and 3.75mm to the secondaty parabolic reflector.
(Won’t cause permanent property damage, but no uplink until someone with high access gear gets up there and takes it off)
I love Kayleigh.
Would have liked to see her run for some office.
What a pro. I hope she doesn’t get sucked in by the Kolak’s.
No way I’m ever watching Fox again or using Amazon, FB, Twitter, Instagram, cable, buying Made I’m Chyna-nah if I can help it (saves me a lot of $) or buying a Coca-Cola product.
I haven’t really missed any of it AND I’m becoming more Green?.
Since they fired their genuine conservative hosts at FOX, they are trying to beef up their talking heads section with one conservative, Kayleigh?
Still not watching. When they fired the great Lou Dobbs, they lost me at FAUX Business.
Good for her, but I cancelled my cable. I refuse to pay for Left wing propaganda, or a station that was in on the election steal.
There’s no way to go to Fox and come out smelling like a rose.
Lou Dobbs managed it.
Good for her, but who cares anymore. Journalism is no longer a profession. Journalists are activists, gossip-mongers, and Left wing propagandists. I refuse to watch the media liars and vultures. I cancelled my cable years ago and get my news from alternate sources.
I prefer public relations consultants.
From the web:
What does public relations consultant do?
A public relations consultant is a communications specialist who works as an intermediary between the public and an organization or business. The organization is dependent on the public relations consultant to effectively disseminate and communicate its mission, policies and goals to the public.
The DNC, State Department, CIA, FBI, government ad nauseum, and all things progressive are the organizations 95% of them represent.
I appreciate her candor.
Unless others follow, there will be a cry of “See, she reports for Fox; it’s Fox News that lies.”
And that’ll be that. Wish she had made clear the problem is systemic.
My own local Fox 4 station in Dallas is unwatchable. The news spin is too obvious for me to stomach.
Fox 41 WDRB in Louisville might just as well be CNN
She is resigning from Fox News. Let that sink in. Does she mean that she is tired of the direction Fox is taking with journalism? Are all her little barbs meant as criticism of Fox which is considered a ”conservative” media site? Is she giving the perception that it is Fox which does not have the integrity in journalism that she states she wants? To be blunt, is she stating that Fox is ”fake news” as opposed to the other media sites?
Only someone who lives inside Fox10’s broadcast / market area and watches them regularly can tell us about the direction of their existing bias…whether they spin left or spin right.
She figured out now why most people do not watch any news? We knew the way news media was going 5 years ago! Good luck to her at least she is calling the media out on her way out!
The MSM Whores Of The CCP all parrot the same scripts. They are not journalists but plain old actors- poor ones at that. Dont feed the children of Satan.
I remember watching her when I lived In Phoenix. Good for her, take guts to walk away like that.
Kari must be married to a guy with a job. Independent money source seems to be what it takes to buck the system these days.
I’m sure she made an excellent salary (bonuses?) and surely has a nest egg herself. She seems smart. She has a game plan.
There are very very few reporters out there who feel the same way.
This from Kari Lake about her role at Fox in spreading Covid fear and division:
“It really got difficult for me when Covid hit,” Lake said. “I felt the stories I was reading were not fully truthful. The cancel mob’s insistence that certain Covid- related stories not be told or even whispered, while others were told over-and-over made me feel as if I was not giving a balanced view of the situation to viewers.
How many others at Fox 10 are ashamed of their role in spreading fear and division?
Sounds to me like Kari objects to Leftwing/ globalist bias. That should satisfy those who have questioned which bias she objected – progressive or conservative. She appears to want to report the facts honestly, regardless of who it makes look good or bad.
How many are afraid to say it for fear of losing their livelihoods and being blackballed from an industry that is monopolized by globalists?
That’s how the left operates through fear and intimidation.
My suggestion ?
Copy and paste Ms. Lake’s statement and send it to every local Fox affiliate (news department). Tell them we know how they operate.
In other good news, Fox News cable ratings continue to erode. They now trail behind CNN and MSNBC
https://bigleaguepolitics.com/fox-news-ratings-crater-trailing-cnn-and-msnbc-for-first-time-in-21-years/
Continue to erode? That article is six weeks old
The chart posted above from yesterday’s ratings has them back on top..
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/03/02/fox10-top-rated-news-anchor-resigns-i-dont-like-the-way-the-media-is-going/comment-page-1/#comment-7610504
Kari Lake has my utmost respect. I am confident, as she is, that our good Lord will open a wonderful door for her, as she is forced to close this one through no fault of her own. She truly exemplifies integrity and grace.
To be fair to her and I don’t know if this is her position, but if there are still such things called true journalists, people who aside from their natural or even fervent political bent, hold their profession to a higher “power”, in that at heart they seek “the truth” wherever it might lead. They might well be horrified that their once “trusted” profession is now the domain of failed budding film or porn stars, who, luckily for Mom and Dad, once “forced” them through journalism school.
The ones who have a conscience and can’t lie to people’s faces will leave.
The rest will hang in there, happily.
Quite so.
Cucker Tarlson and Maria Butyoumustkeepwatching are hanging in their to prevent any discussion of electoral fraud and maintain the fiction that Republicons are “fighting Democrats” and really need your donations.
Took her a while but she finally got to the point of “enough is enough, and I ain’t gonna keep lying”.
Good for her.
Senator Lake.
God bless her! Hope it leads to more reporters taking the same action, though there are truckloads of wide eyed lefties ready to do the narrative script reading.
Sure wish we could see Lou Dobbs. I bet he has some excellent information on why he was let go from Fox. He was the only one that called out RINO’s and how they protect the establishment and not constituents or conservatives. My guess is he left with a gag order and paid well.
I listen to talk radio during the day & Mark Levin’s show at night on a local station which is very conservative (Rush is king of the station broadcasts). It kills me that this station uses ABC news for their national feed and their local news has a left wing slant too. It’s like getting a slap in the face when the news comes on. Who do they think is listening to the station and wants to hear that spin on the news?They can’t find any conservative news people for the local news??? I know I’m in a bluer than blue metro listening area, but come on.
Agreed. Always a shock when the program has one point of view and the hourly MSM news takes an entirely different view of the same facts. Makes one realize how badly be are being propagandized.
Even Fox Radio top of the hours news is on the channel that Rush’s show was on. It’s always a left slant. They practically slobber when talking about Biden and there is always a negative Trump headline.
If you want a good cry, watch a rerun of Bonanza. I happened on one the other week and was moved to actual tears, seeing how good and bad, moral and immoral, used to be portrayed on the screen.
They fed the changeover to us so slowly, we (I) didn’t realize I was being boiled alive.
I wanted many times to call Rush on open-line Fridays and ask him if he listens to ABC during his breaks.
I didn’t because I didn’t know what kind of ‘ishews’ ABC would have with him if I expressed my disgust at their snark between Rush’s segments.
As soon as those top of the hour fake news updates come on, I switch to a music station for the next 5 minutes.?
We used to do the radio switch also but with a different take. When driving around my grandson and I would listen to Hannity until he started talking about himself. Then we would switch to a leftist station until they started calling republicans racist. Normally we would spend no more then two minutes on each station. The game taught my grandson two things, 1) the idiocy of the left and 2) not to talk about yourself.
Yes! I trained myself to turn off the left wing “news” and then turned back on at exactly 10:06 AM just in time to hear the Rush music- 30 years of doing that.
Now I am at a loss at 10:06 AM.
Yes, those “news” breaks make me break away as well! Salem Radio Network News goes along with the msm narrative too.
If the media did its job everybody would know Joe Biden sold out America’s children to the teacher’s unions.
” millions of American children are having their futures destroyed by Joe Biden’s anti-science school closures.”
On top of that, for those children in schools having to wear masks is child abuse.
Fantastic, and HUGELY important that all those who prioritize life, liberty & freedom over tyranny & understand how important they are in shaping the future in every profession develop our own media, businesses, schools, etc., rather than continue to support/ fund / serve the current oligarch controlled propaganda industry.
Good for her. I can’t help but think about all the of “journalists” who are still working though. How many of them are just too stupid to know that they’re lying and how many of them know they’re lying to us but just don’t care? It has to be one or the other, doesn’t it?
I don’t want to be too quick to judge local “journalists” who don’t make big salaries and may have no way to support themselves or their families, because I don’t know their financial circumstances or obligations.
But I do think it is fair to condemn big national figures whom we know have made millions. That’s just greed. They should have saved enough that they don’t have to compromise all values and integrity.
If they’re smart enough to get out of bed in the morning and dress themselves, they’re smart enough to know they are lying.
There’s No.Way. they are stupid.
They just like the paycheck. And for some, having their face on TV is the cherry on top.
I use to listen to Dennis Michael Lynch during and after President Trump’s election. When Ailes died Newsmax wanted him to say things bad about Ailes. He refused saying that Ailes was the first to give him a chance at being a journalist. He also said Newsmax was sending scripts to be read on the air by him from the corporation iinstead of letting him do his own thing. Again he refused and was actually fired by them on the air. Don’t trust Newsmax. This reminds me of that.
I watched that show live, as it happened.
Lynch said he wasn’t going to be reading their script, got up, & walked out.
I think she should have stayed and fought. How does surrendering help us? This is what the left and the Swamp want us to do. Just quit and go away like ghosts.
She has no responsibility ‘to help us’. Her responsibility is to report the truth. Period.
She fought. Was on ” leave” for a while a number of months ago.
Sometimes all you can do is maintain your integrity and move on.
She is / was only an employee. Station management and network management always rule. If she could have changed the reporting to be more factual, unbiased, and honest, IMHO she would have done that and not felt that her only choice was to leave.
It takes more than one person to make a fight successful.
Really, if “journalists ” had any integrity they would be organizing wherever they are to fight back and get the truth and relevant news out there.
Local News used to be pretty darn good, but it’s gone down the crapper in most places now, too. Those are the people who need to organize. They’d get a lot of support from the people who live in the area.
I haven’t watched one second of Fox News or Fox Business since election night. I wouldn’t watch CNN or MSNBC if they paid me. Nor do I watch any of the network news shows anymore. I just don’t care what any of them report anymore and I refuse to give their advertisers the looks. I suppose I will watch if something really major happens but otherwise, I just won’t support them in any fashion or form because I know they hate my guts.
I’d like Tucker a lot better if he did the same but he likes his $$$& more than freedom and liberty..
Be interesting to know the actual number of viewers on corrupt news stations. Everyone I know no longer listens or watches the news. Even some independent democrats. Their viewing audience can’t be more than 10 million.
Don’t live in AZ or listen to any FNC but I think Kari Lake is a great name and she is beautiful.
And good for her. If she is to be trusted, I’m sure a weight has been lifted.
There is no such thing as journalism anymore, they are nothing more than demorat operatives with bi-lines who spend their days spreading their personal opinions. I call them urnalists.
Best wishes to her. And to others who will follow.
Many readers here know that Sharyl Attkisson became an independent journalist years ago. A true professional.
http://www.sharylattkisson.com
Once Rupert Murdoch kicks the bucket of old age, his 2 far left sons will inherit his Fox News media empire.
At that point in time, will people finally stop watching Fox News?
We need real journalists to tell how the US government was taken by coup and fascisms is alive and well in America. No doubt she left when they started banning *Dr. Seuss* books.
I wonder if the Covid reporting she was forced to do was the final straw.
On balance I have to say, the reporting was reckless and irresponsible.
Her issues with Fox started before Covid.
She’s a conservative, and the disinformation campaign over the past several years eventually got to her.
I’d bet it was since it affected so many people’s lives and livelihoods.
And since Arizona was one of the epicenters of election fraud, I’d bet that weighed very heavily on her decision as well.
OK, so you went to school long time to be a “journalist”. You like doing it or you would not have pursued that career. So what would you do if you have a huge student loan bill you have been paying on for sometime and now you are going to have to change careers since the direction this is headed is not journalism any longer.! You will do as they say since that is what they are paying you to do NOW. Most cannot afford to find new careers.
I hope that OAN has her number. She’d be a natural fit.
We need more like her!!!!
WOW! What an incredible person.
Too bad there aren’t hundreds more like her…unwilling to whore themselves out for the corporate masters. My very best wishes to this lady who upholds truth, personal principles and self worth above the almighty dollar and media power. She has my upmost respect.
there is NO true news any more, best thing is that stop watch news channel’s
Perhaps OANN will take over a local station in Arizona, she can help get truth out there.
Now is the time for her to run for office. Step up and this Deplorable will back you.
lol.. why do I sense that she will pop up in the not too distant future as an anchor for a new old fashioned broadcast news agency
I give this woman the utmost respect!
She got out! She had the guts to walk away!
Again Donald J. Trump was 100% spot on about the news. We have fat boy teddy kennedy’s own words to prove they are in the bag for the democrat party. What is it he said to the Russian leader in the early 80’s when he sent his drinking buddy from collage to ask the Russians for their help beating Ronald Reagan, “We own the media in the USA” and something to the effect that they would see that they got favorable news stories to win public support in the USA
It has gotten 10X worse since. They are now the party and it’s hard to figure out who’s leading and who’s following because there is no difference between the two.
I wonder what would have happened if the Fox 10 execs had the will and the authority to allow Ms. Lake, and like minded support staff, to report more or all of the truth in their news stories without the false narratives. If her ratings increased, it might have led to a slow but perceptible reversal in fake or distorted news at other network outlets.
I wish she had given specific examples of forced narratives that led to her decision but I think I understand why she didn’t. I hope Kari Lake has great success in her new venture.
