SecDef Hegseth Excoriates the Media in Blistering Takedown: ‘It’s in Your Blood to Cheer Against Trump’
Rusty Weiss
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unleashed the hounds of hell on the American media Thursday morning, eviscerating their lack of favorable coverage on the airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program and doing their best to downplay the success of the mission.
Hegseth might as well have dropped his own MOAB on the room, as he delivered an angry, finger-pointing, but well-deserved tirade against the media.

"Because you cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump, because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren't effective."
"'Maybe the way the Trump administration is representative isn't true,'" Hegseth continued, suggesting this is the mindset of the journalism industry.
"So let's take half-truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt and manipulate the mind, the public mind, over whether or not our brave pilots were successful."
Oh, it was a thing of beauty.
