Description: Richard and Tom dismantle the "curated" narrative of the Iran invasion, "Operation Epic Fury." As the administration highlights "smart bomb" precision, the hosts reveal the suppressed human cost and the first American casualties. They analyze the growing hostility toward the press—from the berating of reporters at the White House to the resignation of veteran CBS producer Mary Walsh over mandated agendas.

Our Mission

True Journalism exists because facts still matter. The press is a watchdog — not a lapdog — and the American public deserves reporting that shines a light rather than throws a shadow. This is not a political show. We do not have a party. We have one principle: if it is not a verified fact, we will say so.
