It wasn’t just luck that rendered Kyle Rittenhouse “not guilty” in a Wisconsin courtroom last year. In fact, it was the careful creation of our justice system, and the application of our current laws that saved Rittenhouse from a jail sentence.
Now, he’s ready to give back with his announcement of the Media Accountability Project, which will sue media outlets that defamed him and others.
He announced the initiative, the Media Accountability Project, on Monday and indicated at least some of the money will go toward lawsuits against outlets that he thinks defamed him and his legal team during and after his 2021 trial.
Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges in the fatal shooting of two men and the wounding of another in a riot the night of Aug. 25, 2020, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The riot spun out of demonstrations over the police shooting two days earlier of Jacob Blake, a black male.
Kittenhouse’s lawyers successfully argued their client acted in self defense.
“The … project is the official fundraising vehicle for holding the worst offenders in our activist media accountable in court, Rittenhouse told the Washington Examiner. “In the long term, I want to provide a platform for independent journalists who are actually committed to the truth, but for right now, accountability is priority No. 1.”
He told Fox News at the time of his trail that it “exposed a deep corruption in our media that cannot go unanswered. Their blatant lies, defamation, and propaganda were malicious attempts to tear our nation apart and destroy my life – and I am committed to holding them accountable.”
Rittenhouse’s effort is similar to that of Nicholas Sandmann, a a high schooler who was covered by the media for days following his interaction with Native American activist Nathan Phillips during the 2019 March for Life.
Sandmann reached legal settlements with CNN, NBC, and the Washington Post for their coverage of the event.
Finally! Accountability.
It’s nice to see young people like Rittenhouse and Sandmann willing to stand up against the leftist media that threatens everything that’s good in this country. They perpetuate lies and propaganda while accusing conservatives of the same.
But if the scamdemic has done anything good for us, I have to believe that it’s forced America to reconsider what and who they believe.
In fact, the once-known-as the “most trusted name in news,” CNN, is nearly defunct. Cuomo was kicked out on his keister. After four years of waging his own personal war against Trump, Jeff Zucker was forced to do the walk of shame, thanks to their non-existent ratings. Brian Stelter and Don Lemon looks like fools every time they go on the air. In fact, if you’re looking to read some of the latest opinions of CNN,

Not only will the mainstream media outlets find themselves canceled more and more, but they’re also going to have to pay. Literally. In real American dollars. And the more they lie, the more it’s going to cost them. Don’t take my word for it. Just watch and see as the settlements make headlines.
