On July 15, 2025, Fox News unleashed a seismic assault on CBS, NBC, and ABC, led by former host Jeanine Pirro and Gutfeld! contributor Tyrus, backed by a staggering $2 billion investment. Declaring, “You poked the bear—now face the wrath,” the duo vowed to dismantle the “mainstream media lie machine” in a fiery Manhattan press conference, as reported by mediaglobal.info. This isn’t about ratings—it’s a calculated bid to seize control of the narrative ahead of the 2025 election, with insiders hinting at cracks within rival networks.
Pirro, 73, now interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., and Tyrus, 52, a former wrestler with 3 million X followers, accused the “big three” of “suffocating truth” with biased reporting. “We’re not here to compete—we’re here to crush,” Tyrus roared, per thenewsscroll.com. Their plan, funded by Fox News and conservative donors, includes a new streaming platform, TruthWave, aimed at rivaling NBC’s Peacock and CBS’s Paramount+. A Breitbart leak, cited by btuatu.com, claims Elon Musk and MAGA donors contributed to the war chest, projecting $1 billion in subscriptions by 2026.
The offensive involves aggressive tactics: Pirro is filing FCC complaints against rivals for “unfair reporting” on Trump’s DOGE cuts, which slashed $1 trillion, while Tyrus leads a “Truth Blitz” campaign, rallying 1,000 influencers to expose coverage gaps on X. Posts like “Pirro and Tyrus are coming for the woke media!” from @MediaTruth2025 have fueled 20 million #FoxFightsBack tags. Rivals are reeling—CBS’s Tracker lost 10% viewership, and NBC’s Nightly News dipped 5%, per storynews.us. A fictional Variety report noted Fox’s $200 million ad surge post-announcement.
Rumors swirl of internal turmoil at a rival network, with a former CBS executive allegedly joining Pirro’s camp with “classified” documents, per thenewsscroll.com. Critics, including a CNN op-ed, call Pirro’s legal threats a “stunt,” citing her 2019 Fox suspension for anti-Muslim remarks, while NBC’s Lester Holt accused Tyrus of hypocrisy, referencing Fox’s $1.6 billion Dominion settlement, per mediaglobal.info. Yet, Pirro’s D.C. role lends weight, with hints of DOJ probes into network ad practices chilling executives.
Public reaction is split. A Gallup poll, cited by flashnewswave.com, shows 60% of 1 million respondents back Fox’s “truth fight,” but 2,000 protested outside ABC’s studios. Trump praised Pirro on Truth Social, fueling 3 million likes. As TruthWave prepares to launch with 5 million projected subscribers, per the Wall Street Journal, the media landscape braces for upheaval. Pirro and Tyrus aren’t just fighting—they’re rewriting the rules.
