Headline: “As Trump Floods the Zone, the Media Must Focus on What He’s Doing to Our National Security”
“During Wednesday’s White House press briefing, the assembled reporters did not ask Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt a single question about the CIA, despite the alarming reports about agency personnel being gutted and the potential mishandling of classified information.
“Instead, the majority of the questions focused on President Donald Trump’s scatterbrained remarks the night before about the U.S. “owning” Gaza. Reporters also drilled down on Elon Musk’s crusade against federal spending and his potential conflicts of interest as he guts federal agencies, like the U.S. Agency for International Development.”
