Norah O’Donnell of CBS News is the latest legacy media hack to try to smear Trump DoD pick Pete Hegseth with ridiculous allegations. NBC News has been doing the same.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because it is. This is the same playbook that Democrats and the media used against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings. They think nothing of dragging people through the mud and ruining lives in the process.
They simply don’t want the changes that the American people voted for and they’ll do or say anything to prevent Trump from having the team he wants.
Partial transcript by Curtis Houck on Twitter/X:
“We begin with new reporting by CBS News. The highest priority of the president of the United States is the safety and security of the American people. As the commander-in-chief, presidents rely on their defense secretaries to help carry out that solemn task. President-Elect Donald Trump wanted a Fox News weekend host to hold that post. The 44-year-old combat veteran, Pete Hegseth.
Tonight, that nomination appears to be on the rocks. Hegseth is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct and excessive drinking. Tonight, CBS News has learned Hegseth may not have the support of enough Republican senators to be confirmed for the job, meaning his nomination is in serious jeopardy.”
Here’s the video:

The Federalist points out that CBS News spent the last year turning themselves into a laughingstock:
In an election where Americans finally began to tune out legacy media, CBS drove the decline.
A new Gallup poll from October found Americans’ trust in mass media hit a new low with just less than a third maintaining a “great deal” or a “fair amount” of confidence in newspapers, television networks, and radio to report on events “fully, accurately and fairly.” The survey results were published about two weeks after CBS moderated the vice-presidential debate that gave Americans good reason to stop believing corporate media was the appropriate medium for facilitating U.S. elections.
If CBS executives believed they could rehabilitate the media’s image as a trusted avenue of fair and balanced information to guide voters in an election year, they have been proven wrong by their own network.
There’s a reason why trust in media is at a historic low. This is it.
