The only people these days who are foolish enough to actually believe any of the reporting that gushes forth from the sewer pipes we know as the mainstream media are radical leftists who have been eagerly gulping down the crap from crazy Cousin Eddie’s sh***er — which was full of fake news turds from CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and many others about Trump, his cabinet picks, and his followers — and they can’t seem to get enough.
One of their new favorite targets is Fox News contributor and President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for the head of the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth, who is being accused of some form of sexual misconduct. Isn’t it funny how these accusations always pop up when a person like Hegseth is chosen for a high-ranking, influential position within our government? Almost like liberals are terrified of conservatives who practice what they preach.
Unfortunately, there are still a few establishment figures — senators to be exact — who will need to vote in favor of Hegseth in order for him to be confirmed for the position. The odds of that happening, right now, aren’t promising.
However, many of Hegseth’s former colleagues took to social media platform X in order to provide a counter narrative to the one pushed by the MSM.
A decorated veteran and longtime Fox News host, Hegseth left the network last month after receiving Trump’s nomination. NBC reported on Tuesday that “10 current and former Fox employees,” each of whom “asked not to be named because of fear of retaliation,” spoke with the establishment outlet about their concerns regarding what they described as Hegseth’s history of excessive drinking. “Everyone would be talking about it behind the scenes before he went on the air,” an unnamed former Fox employee recalled.
Needless to say, that sort of “journalism” did not sit well with many of Hegseth’s supporters. In fact, a number of former colleagues went on the record to refute the NBC hit piece.
I’ve worked with @PeteHegseth since the beginning. Never witnessed any of this behavior from him. Always kind, professional and hard working. A good man that loves his family and his country.

Your story is horseshit @NBCNews. Put my name on it. On the record. It’ll be your only on the record source.
Signed,
The guy who sat next to him for 8 hours every week for five years starting at 6am.— Will Cain (@willcain) December 3, 2024
The losers at @NBCNews never reached out to me either. @willcain is right – your story IS horseshit. You now have 2 people who sat next to him 8+ hours a week on the record. Will you retract or correct your story? https://t.co/s5YJsI23EV

Meanwhile, former Fox booking producer Breanna Morello drafted a letter in support of Hegseth. She posted it to X and pledged to send it to “EVERY” senator. Running a hit piece on a man that’s solely based on anonymous sources is cowardly and isn’t journalism.

I'm willing to go on the record regarding Pete Hegseth.
As a former Fox booking producer, I've never heard a negative remark about Hegseth–until now.

Add me also. Pete has always been the epitome of a class act and a great guy. These attacks are shameful BS.

I can't stand the propaganda practice of using anonymous sources to smear political opponents, as NBC does here. FWIW, I have nothing but good things to say about Pete and the anonymously sourced stories don't match my personal experience in any way. Quite the contrary, in fact. https://t.co/i2lPDbiAG2

It also looks like the attacks on Hegseth are a highly coordinated effort among different networks and publications. Late in the day on Tuesday, a report came out that stated Trump was looking into potentially replacing Hegseth as his pick for Secretary of Defense with Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
First, they went after former Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz after he was nominated to be the next Attorney General, bringing up all sorts of sexual allegations against him. Once he decided to pull his name from consideration, all the networks turned to Hegseth.
They know they lost the election bad. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t still resist and fight. Which is why they are now targeting Trump’s cabinet members in an attempt to prevent him from implementing his agenda once he takes office. Let’s hope Republican senators band together to help get Hegseth installed in the president-elect’s cabinet.
