MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell loves spreading fake news about Defense Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth, and on Wednesday she was at it again. Despite court testimony and NBC’s own reporting that showed that Hegseth’s ex-wife denies their reporting about Hegseth being abusive, Mitchell claimed such allegations remain “uncontested.”

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough calls it an "insult" and a "lie" to claim that the US military has gone woke. He is very wrong, and we've got the proof.

ABC’s The View reacted as one would expect on Tuesday to Secretary of Defense-designate Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing the previous day.

Joni Ernst has betrayed her fellow sexual assault survivors by supporting Hegseth’s…

Comedy Central’s host of the week of The Daily Show, Jordan Klepper, unleashed two clunkers on Tuesday as he reacted to Secretary of Defense-designate Pete Hegseth’s Senate confirmation hearing. First, Klepper chopped off one of Hegseth’s answers mid-sentence to falsely claim Hegseth has flip-flopped and gone woke on women in combat. Second, Klepper claimed that Hegseth’s obsession…

On Tuesday afternoon following Pete Hegseth’s five-hour-and-15-minute-long confirmation hearing to lead the Pentagon, CNN immediately made clear it was not having a good time, continuing to peddle the alcoholism and tattoo conspiracy theories about the “Kavanaugh-esque” Hegseth, suggested he was in over his head, and Democratic senators asked apt and thorough questions.

President emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations Richard Haass had an interesting take on Tuesday’s installment of Morning Joe on MSNBC. Ahead of former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral, he claimed that Carter was actually the “forerunner” to Ronald Reagan.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that Pete Hegseth's views on women in the military would take us back to the 11th century. Calling him a "retrograde throwback," MSNBC Republican Elise Jordan says his views would take us back to "the Crusades."

Comedy Central’s Michael Kosta used The Daily Show’s penultimate episode of 2024 to mock Secretary of Defense-designate Pete Hegseth’s pledge not to drink if confirmed and ridiculed any Senate Republican who believes him.

Reacting to a clip in which accused murderer Luigi Mangione speaks of "lived experience," Joe Scarborough pretends to be unfamiliar with the phrase, saying "What does that mean?

CBS’s Stephen Colbert may fancy himself as a comedian, but basic journalistic standards such as accuracy still apply to him and his jokes.

Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth correctly called the media out on Monday for lying about his past comments about women not serving in combat in order to suggest he looks down upon women serving, belittles their service, or that he even opposes their inclusion in the military. However, CNN Newsroom host Jim Acosta welcomed Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed to…

On Thursday, CNN contributed to the liberal media smear campaign against Pete Hegseth by repeatedly passing along a truly insane Washington Post hit piece alleging President-Elect Trump’s secretary of defense pick “had a reputation as a heavy drinker” as per six anonymous former Fox News employees with one episode having come during — gasp! — a St. Patrick’s Day weekend segment!

New York Times columnist David Brooks, who is about as close to a conservative as that liberal newspaper publishes, wrote something last week that gets to the heart of why Democrats, especially, but also some Republicans, fear a second Trump administration. After extolling what he believes to be the personal virtues of some Republicans (he mentions Mitt Romney, whose personal virtues…

In his past life, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth did some things he is not proud of but insists that he is a different man today.
