But they promised it would run independently because they are in the business of truth
This is an unflattering picture of Hegseth. Probably should take it down.
I’m sure the Ellisons are just loving that he said this out loud in front of news cameras.
“We didn’t underestimate it; we didn’t estimate it at all. Didn’t even consider it.”
Opposite Day with these motherfuckers. If Peter Hegseth says it’s for the better, then the truth is that it will be for the much much worse
So they’re basically admitting the whole reason they wanted the WB-Paramount merger was to get CNN under their thumb just like CBS
The quiet part out loud
These people are so stuck in the past worrying about cnn, bill maher, the view. Rosie O’Donnell, late night tv shows etc I’m glad the trump brain rot is spreading
Depressing. Dystopian. Done.
Why does anybody care what the “war fighter” thinks about the government controlling the media?
Everything is so stupid now. The idiots have take over.
Can these people cry and whine any more about the media? What a bunch of babies. Seriously, they’re all so childish and it’s embarrassing. I can’t stand listening to them talk. They’re all nuts.
The fact he is more pressed about this than about military personnel literally dying is so telling. I can’t wait for all this not blow up in maga face
Starving for the great leader
I will have zero respect for any journalist who remains with CNN.
Tapper can stay. I hope the others leave.
The only people watching television news are the people that have already drank the orange kool-aid. Let them have it. It’s garbage now it’ll be garbage when they take over.
We need more propaganda and we need it now!
Gawd he’s such a little bitch!
even a toddler would understand the impact
The sooner Hegseth’s liver fails the better.
Incidentally, I don’t think these people realize how not tied to CNN we are. Or to any specific news outlet when you think about it.
Because why would more than half the country want something other than another lying Fox News! clone.
Bombing school girls isn’t enough.
everyone who said people were fear-mongering, i hope you feel pretty stupid now
It’s a good thing I don’t listen or watch any of these fucking “news” networks.
Can America stop fucking everything up for everyone else??
He’s a vile person. His body art says all I need to know. How we let these ppl run America is beyond me. Get them out.
‚The sooner they stop showing everyone I am a useless boob the better!‘
„The sooner we take over the news the better.“
At least he’s honest..this one time
“ the sooner we can change the news, the better will look“
Yes, the sooner a monopolistic billionaire owns the information you receive, the better off we will all be.
It won’t make a difference because no one watches CNN except for empty airport seats.
Pete forgot that in order for Ellison to take over CNN, Ellison would have to sell off CBS for the merger to get international approval. And that’s just one thing on a list of things he’d have to do to get international approval.
Fuck this piece of shit
Getting called out and getting mad about it. Typical shit.
He’s an adolescent with too much power.
They should do another report that says US troops are still over there dying even though Trump said the war is over. Just keep repeating the most obvious news.
Translation: “the sooner we can control the media the better it is for us”
It’s always attack-the-messenger with these people.
Hegseth is not up to the job.
He’s not upset that CNN is wrong, becauae he knows they’re not. He’s upset that they’re reporting facts that are embarassing to him–that the military knew what Iran’s response would be and whether they’d be able to pull it off but that crucial information didn’t make it up to the top of the chain.
They always say they want news to tell the “truth” but their version of news just pedals lies.
Ministry of Truth inbound.
I watched that entire “update”. It was pure propaganda. Not informative at all as to what we are doing and where our tax dollars are going. He was purely speaking to an audience of one.
