b'"Authentic" is Merriam-Webster\\u2019s word of the year. It\\u2019s also a good way to describe Fox News contributor and podcast host Lisa Boothe, whose own authenticity is evident whenever she\\u2019s on TV or interviewing guests for her show, \\u201cThe Truth With Lisa Boothe.\\u201d\\nDuring her frequent Fox News appearances\\u2014or stints guest-hosting for Fox anchors such as Laura Ingraham\\u2014Boothe brings a straightforward, commonsense approach to viewers.\\xa0\\nShe spoke with The Daily Signal about the opportunity that led her from Capitol Hill to the media world\\u2014and why she believes so many outlets are falling out of favor today.\\n\\u201cI feel like we\\u2019ve just lost common sense, period,\\u201d Boothe says. \\u201cI think we\\u2019re a society, and it extends to the media as well, of cowardice, a lack of common sense, probably just intentional lying, and just no morality. There\\u2019s no wrong vs. right anymore.\\u201d\\nHamas\\u2019 barbaric attack on Israel\\u2014and the surge of antisemitism that followed\\u2014are just one example Boothe cites as a failure of the news media to distinguish wrong from right.\\n\\u201cImagine how insanely frustrating it would be to be Israel. You have the most Jews slaughtered in a single day since the Holocaust, you have babies that were beheaded, you have women who are raped next to the bodies of their dead friends at a concert, completely unarmed,\\u201d Boothe said. \\u201cJust complete, utter atrocities, right? And then you have the media questioning what happened that day, questioning the beheading of babies.\\u201d\\nIsrael, she said, was so compelled to counter pro-Palestinian propaganda that it invited journalists\\u2014including The Daily Signal\\u2014to view 43 minutes of video depicting Hamas terrorists\' brutal atrocities.\\n\\u201cIsrael has to confirm things that these Hamas terrorists videotaped themselves and put out to the public, but then the media\\u2019s just pushing out Hamas propaganda without question,\\u201d Boothe said. \\u201cI mean, it\\u2019s just disgusting.\\u201d\\nBoothe said she felt a similar frustration during the COVID-19 hysteria that consumed the country beginning in 2020. From the start, she thought the government reaction was overblown\\u2014from widespread lockdowns to vaccine mandates.\\nAs a result, she started her own podcast to offer a countervailing narrative.\\n\\u201cI believe I was the first person at Fox to come out and say, \\u2018I\\u2019m not getting the vaccine,\\u2019\\u201d Boothe said. \\u201cI just got frustrated that I didn\\u2019t have my own outlet to have these conversations, and interview these types of people, and to have that space of exploring this other side. [It] ended up being the right side, but not at the time\\u2014it was very dangerous.\\u201d\\nToday, Boothe\\u2019s show features a mix of political and cultural warriors who offer a different perspective from what you\\u2019ll hear from legacy media outlets. She posts new episodes every few days.\\xa0\\n\\u201cThe Truth With Lisa Boothe\\u201d is syndicated by iHeartPodcasts and available on all major platforms.\\n Hosted on Acast.
