The corporate medias' narrative on the Hegseth hearings is shaping up

and it is that he acquitted himself well and is good at communications and it showed.

Any neutral and intellectually honest observer who viewed the Democrats questioning him would not agree with that. He did not answer and interrupted constantly. He would not answer yes or no questions.

But that's what the R's want spread to people who don't watch the actual hearings, and the corporate media will be more than willing to go along.

One can watch hearings like this on C-Span and get it without the pundits, which is what I was happy to do.

I don't know what "medias" are, but I think most would agree that C-Span is part of the Media in general

who said he was "filibustering" his answers. I was listening from another room, would have liked to see his reaction to that.

12. He's a Faux News host FCS. The fact that he is articulate and media savvy has zero relevance for the head of DOD.

Mr. Hegseth, did you have an alcoholic drink before these hearings?

If he gets really offended he did.

UNQUALIFIED!
