Compromised media fearing lawsuits don’t investigate. I write this as Hegseth is doing his old job ala Faux news giving a gloating presser taking credit on behalf of Trump. People will believe anything without question even this Tom Cruise-esque propaganda.

Not to mention the same outlets glorifying one ☝🏾 person but burying the fatalities in comparison.
