It's "Free Press" day on The Megyn Kelly Show. Megyn Kelly is joined by Bari Weiss, founder and CEO of The Free Press, to talk about legacy publications and how they're failing, the way The Free Press is home to open debate and conversation, whether the sexual revolution was good for women or not, a viral video from a young woman talking about conservative commentators' recent comments about family values and single women, The Free Press highlighting a whistleblower at a gender clinic in St. Louis (and having it confirmed by the New York Times), and more. Then David Zweig, journalist for The Free Press and the Silent Lunch Substack, joins to discuss Anthony Fauci still misleading Americans about COVID masks, mask mandates coming back around the country, if the CDC is “gaslighting” us about COVID, Biden back to masking again, the politicization of COVID policy, his interview with a former state department official who reveals a "cover up" on COVID origins, whether the government is hiding information about COVID origins, why the media is ignoring this story, the truth about the new COVID "surge," and more. Then Nellie Bowles, reporter at The Free Press, joins to discuss the boundaries within legacy media, her experience at the New York Times, stories about being targeted for associating with Bari and having curiosity about stories that were not allowed to be covered, the media and left celebrating the transgender man who joined Kappa Kappa Gamma at the University of Wyoming, the media ignoring the discomfort of the sorority sisters and the allegations of inappropriate conduct, and more.
