FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS:
- Michael B. Jordan & Teyana Taylor at the Oscars
- White Rapper Jack Harlowe Mocked for Making an R&B Album
- Mayoral Forum in D.C. Goes Sideways
- Illinois Senate Race, Stratton Wins the Primary
- Secretary of War Hegseth Criticizes Media Coverage of the Iran War
Not only did the “Secretary of War” criticize the media’s coverage of the Iran war–he offered his own rewrites of specific headlines, and said that he “can’t wait” for David Ellison to take over CNN. Billionaire David Ellison is close to Trump and recently acquired CNN (as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery deal). He is expected to make CNN’s coverage more conservative, just as he did with CBS. Meanwhile, Trump’s FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, has threatened to pull the licenses of TV broadcasters who are critical of the Iran war.
Media suppression is part of Trump’s brand of heavy-handed American imperialism that has dropped even the pretense of following international law. After launching overt operations to topple regimes in Venezuela and Iran, he casually floated the idea of “taking” Cuba as well.
