Kyle Rittenhouse Launches Project To Hold Media Accountable, Whoopi First On List
Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old who was found not guilty following the deadly shooting during the 2020 Kenosha riots, is launching a new initiative to combat powerful news organizations for the “lies” they spew.
“Me and my team have decided to launch The Media Accountability Project as a tool to help fundraise and hold the media accountable for the lies they said and deal with them in court,” Rittenhouse said on Monday’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“I don’t want to see anybody else have to deal with what I went through. So I want to hold them accountable for what they did to me, because I don’t want to see anybody have to go through what I went through,” Rittenhouse told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.
When asked if he himself will be suing any news organization, Rittenhouse offered a sample of who is currently on his “list.”
“Well, right now, we’re looking at quite a few politicians, celebrities, athletes, Whoopi Goldberg’s on the list,” Rittenhouse said. “She called me a ‘murderer’ after I was acquitted by a jury of my peers. She went on to still say that.”
He also name-dropped The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur, who called Rittenhouse a “murderer” before the trial and “continues to call me a ‘murderer.'”
“We’re going to hold everybody who lied about me accountable, such as everybody who lied called me a White supremacist,” Rittenhouse said. “They’re all going to be held accountable. And we’re going to handle them in a courtroom.”
Neither ABC News nor The Young Turks immediately responded to Fox News’ requests for comment.
Nicholas Sandmann, the Covington High School student who launch several lawsuits against media organizations for their coverage of him in 2019, previously had communications with Rittenhouse following the trial.
Sandmann came under attack from the media after a video of him wearing a red Make America Great Again hat went viral, showing the then-16-year-old standing in front of a Native American elder on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at the March For Life. News organizations falsely portrayed Sandmann as the aggressor during the altercation.
CNN, The Washington Post and NBC News all made settlements with Sandmann so far.

GREAT NEWS!!! THESE SNAKES SHOULD ALL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL LIES THAT THEY PUT OUT THERE!
I admire this young man. I’m behind him 100%. Sue them all! Hopefully you can get a judge that hasn’t been bought and paid for by the dems! I’ll be prayin.
Perhaps the law can help restore the media ‘speak tank’. If only they would research facts before spewing out preconceived opinions.
Following the ‘freezing’ of the public funds donated for a cause, one wonders if you can continue to use that avenue. Hopefully so, as our government is in over reach mode on steroids.
We the People must stand together.
Make that fat hog Whoopie squeal like a pig! I forgot, she IS a pig.
Good Afternoon Kyle Screw everyone of those coc—-ers take them all to court maybe the news media will reporting the Truth oh i forgot they get paid not too because the Truth hurts
Half the country thinks he is a murderer. He got lucky. My opinion is he should have gotten convicted in one of the murders. He’ll be on Medicare before he would see any money if he were to get any from the suits.
Seriously? It was SELF DEFENSE.
half the country? or do you mean half the people who believe the media, i guess by that you mean the socialist crowd that follows all the lies of BLM, SOROS, CLINTON and now BIDEN. GO crawl under a rock with the rest of the snakes!
It’s about time for these whack job liberals to be put in their place. If you go against their narrative you’re a racist , a white suremacist they think will feed their sickening base. . Whoop ie, joy bedfart, unjoyful reidand other bafoonettes need to be put in their place, like a super large toilet and then flushed. Go. Kyle!!
I am so very happy for you, Kyle. You know how to “man Up”. Thank you , you give many of us hope on the system.
Accountability is essential to hold Liberals in check. If they can do these things to Conservatives like they did to Rittenhouse and Sandman I agree that we should drag their a#$ to court and sue the hell out of them. Make them pay.
We all know that fakestream media are nothing but opinion givers. They start rumors and then they give their opinion that all they do on TV. I’m so happy they will pay for opening their lying mouths instead of giving facts.
The only accountability that counts is to remove the perpetrator. And this can only happen by the removal of the real perpetrators (subscribers dumb enuf to believe the newspapers news, what celebraties
SdAy, etc ) and in tbis case its next to impossible to convince stupid of stupidity.
If Sarah Palin’s lawsuit failed do you really think he’ll do any better?
