Statement from Gabe Whitley, Founder and Editor in Chief of Hoosier Enquirer (originally shared in 2023): "To stop legacy media from attacking good people, we Patriots must take back the narrative and turn the media against them. This will educate voters with the truth — instead of letting them be misled by outlets spreading misinformation like IndyStar and the Indiana Capital Chronicle." As we continue our mission in 2026, this call to action remains as urgent as ever: reclaiming the media landscape empowers everyday Hoosiers with facts over filtered narratives.
