Have the Media Surrendered to Iran Yet?

from The Ed Morrissey Show

Based on the coverage of the war in Iran so far, we're at Year 11 with no end in sight. Andrew Malcolm and I return to review the media's relentless pessimism, and how Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are pushing back – hard. We discuss Andrew's tribute to Mitch McConnell and how the GOP may miss him more than they think. We also wonder whether CNN is violating child labor laws in selecting panelists, and why Adam Mockler should be grateful that Scott Jennings didn't take a page out of Joe Biden's book last week.
