US Politics20 days ago

The Pentagon chief addressed military personnel to express his dissatisfaction with the domestic press's reporting on the Iran conflict. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told rank-and-file service members that media coverage critical of the war is treason, specifically describing the press as "treasonous" during his remarks.

Hegseth, a former Fox News host, claimed that the so-called American press makes Iranian state media look reasonable by comparison. He argued that the current information space has been degraded by the way conflicts are reported to the public.
