"For example, a banner or a headline, Mideast War intensifies, splashing on the screen the last couple of days alongside visuals of civilian or energy targets that Iran has because that's what they do. What should the banner read instead? How about Iran increasingly desperate?. Because they are. They know it, and so do you, if it can be admitted."
"Or more fake news from CNN. Reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran War's impact on the Strait of Hormuz.. Patently ridiculous, of course. For decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Streat of Hormuz. This is always what they do, hold the straight hostage. CNN doesn't think we thought of that. It's a fundamentally unserious report."
"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better! Another example of a fake headline that I saw yesterday: War Widening. Here's a real headline for you for an actual patriotic press. How about Iran shrinking, going underground? You see Iran's leaders are hiding in bunkers and moving into civilian areas. The only thing that is widening is our advantage."
At a Pentagon press conference, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth criticized media coverage of the ongoing Iran conflict, specifically targeting CNN. He argued that news headlines and banners intentionally frame military developments negatively, citing examples such as "Mideast War Intensifies" and "War Widening." Hegseth proposed alternative headlines he believed would be more accurate, such as "Iran Increasingly Desperate" and "Iran Shrinking, Going Underground." He characterized CNN's reporting as fundamentally unserious and fake news, claiming the network failed to account for longstanding Iranian threats to the Strait of Hormuz. Hegseth expressed support for David Ellison's bid to acquire CNN's parent company, stating the sooner Ellison takes over the network, the better.
