Kyle Rittenhouse Says ‘Media Accountability Coming Soon’

Kyle Rittenhouse warned that “accountability [is] coming soon” for media companies who allegedly defamed him after he shot multiple people in self-defense during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year.

“There’s going to be some media accountability coming soon,” Rittenhouse told Fox News on Tuesday.

When asked by Fox News about his thoughts on Nick Sandmann’s recent settlement with a major network for its potentially defamatory reporting on his viral encounter with demonstrator Nathan Phillips in 2019, Rittenhouse said, “Good for him.”

In November, the judge presiding over the trial of Rittenhouse slammed the media during proceedings, saying the “grossly irresponsible” coverage of the trial is “really quite frightening.”
