"A dishonest and anti-Trump press will stop at nothing, we know this at this point, to downplay progress, amplify every cost, and call into question every step."
"The media here, not all of it, but much of it, wants you to think, just 19 days into this conflict, that we're somehow spinning toward an endless abyss or a Forever War or a quagmire."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth condemned the media during a press conference, labeling them as dishonest and claiming they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome. He expressed frustration over the media's focus on the deaths of American service members and other negative aspects of the war, arguing that it undermines President Trump's efforts. Hegseth emphasized that his audience is the American people, not the reporters present, and urged the media to adopt a more pro-American stance by highlighting successes rather than failures.
