Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took aim at the U.S. media during a speech at a Marine Corps base in Virginia on Wednesday, saying, "Our so-called press makes Iranian state media look reasonable."
Why it matters: Hegseth cast news outlets as a threat to U.S. troops, escalating his attacks on journalists over reporting based on classified information.
What he's saying: In his second annual "State of the Force" address at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, Hegseth accused some members of the media of "treason."
While a free press is important, he said "partisan activism that intentionally smears the troops and the historic mission that they're undertaking is fundamentally anti-American. It's sick. It's a national betrayal. It's treason, actually."
Impeach this SOB and remove him. This is INTOLERABLE!
SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR!
