New analysis from the Media Research Center has found that coverage of Pete Hegseth by the major news networks during Trump’s first 100 days has been 100 percent negative. This goes beyond media bias. It’s the weaponization of media.

From the moment Trump nominated Hegseth to be Defense Secretary, you could tell that Democrats and their media allies wanted his scalp. Democrats turned the Hegseth hearing in the Senate into a clown show.

The fact that the media is still gunning for him shows that they are still obsessed with the idea of bringing him down.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth laid into legacy media outlets after data compiled by The Media Research Center (MRC) revealed that he had received 100% negative coverage from the three major networks: ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News.

Hegseth is doing a great job and recruitment in the military is already going up on his watch. This is one of the reasons that the left keeps going after him. They don’t want him to be successful.

Hegseth responded to the report with a post on X showing the tone of his coverage compared to that of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) adviser Elon Musk — who received 89% negative coverage and 96% negative coverage, respectively.

“In case you wonder what we — and President Trump — are up against. 100% NEGATIVE coverage from so-call[ed] ‘mainstream’ press in the first 100 days. PERFECT SCORE,” Hegseth quipped. “(Come on @RobertKennedyJr & @elonmusk, you guys can do better!)”

Pete has the correct enemies.

That means he is off to an outstanding start.

If they start playing nice with him then I would be concerned.

Just another confirmation in my mind that certain elements in DC, with the cover of their mockingbird lackeys, were trying to build a military ready to fire on their ‘enemies’ domestically, or at least be disengaged when their ‘irregulars’ terrorized the populace.

All the right people hate him.

I am very impressed.

Go Hegseth.

As Pete noted in The War on Warriors, the Pentagon is the last frontier for the woke agenda.

If they can capture the Department of Defense, the battle is essentially over. That’s why the DoD has become ground zero in the struggle between merit and truth versus DEI/Leftist ideological conformity.

All of the “fact checkers” went on world cruises once Trump took office. The bottom feeding “media” says whatever it wants about President Trump and his cabinet. Nobody challenges them and their lies.

It is telling about the left when they would rather see the country destroyed than successful under Trump.
