AP, NPR and PBS team up to block Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense

Most people don't recognize professional propaganda.  It's that good.  But once you've been taught how to recognize it, you see how the Media pushes brazen propaganda pieces every day, to get you to see things the way they want.  Tariffs, for example.  

SO...after Trump announced he would nominate combat veteran Pete Hegseth as Sec of Defense, the Lying Mainstream Media went into full attack mode, seeking to discredit Hegseth so just five RINO senators would vote no on confirming him.

Three dipshit propagandists at the leftist Associated Press (AP) promptly wrote a hit-piece.  But since half the country no longer believes a thing the AP prints, to reach a few million more voters the AP hit- piece was pasted by PBS and NPR.

Just for the official record, the rat-bastard liars at the AP were Tara Copp, Michelle Smith and Jason Dearen.  Watch for those names, as they'll pop up again and again in the next four years.

NPR headline: 

Trump’s Pentagon pick was flagged as a possible ‘Insider Threat’ in the National Guard

Nov 16, 2024
Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran and Fox News host nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense, was flagged as a possible “Insider Threat” by a fellow service member due to a tattoo on his bicep that’s associated with white supremacist groups.

Notice the caps on "Insider Threat."  That's telling you this is a "term of art" among the Leftist "cool kids" in D.C.

Hegseth, who has downplayed the role of military members and veterans in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack and railed against the Pentagon’s subsequent efforts to address extremism in the ranks, has said he was pulled by his DC National Guard unit from guarding Joe Biden’s January 2021 inauguration. He’s said he was unfairly identified as an extremist due to a cross tattoo on his chest.

SEE, citizen??  Duh guy had a cross tattooed on hiz chest!  How much more proof do ya need?!!  Dis proves he a "white Christian extremist" and an "insurrectionist" and an "election denier"!

See, if you dispute the results of an election, you're an "election denier," which is the same as an "insurrectionist," which means...well, you know.  But when Democrats like Hilliary (pbuh) pressure presidential electors to vote for her instead of how their state voted, it isn't EITHER of those things, but is merely "defending ouah precious democracy."
   Counting mail-in ballots that magically appear up to a month after election day is merely "seeking to ensure that every vote beez counted!"  An' surely you want ebry vote to be counted, right?"

But this week a fellow Guard member who was the unit’s security manager and on an anti-terrorism team at the time, gave The Associated Press a copy of an email he'd sent to the unit’s leadership flagging a different tattoo!
  This one read “Deus Vult,” and it’s been used by white supremacists.  So the "fellow Guard member" was concerned it was an indication that Hegseth was an “Insider Threat."

Say, citizen, know what else the rat-bastards in the "terror watch" branches of gummint have DECREED shows that someone is an "Insider Threat"?  If you're "openly Christian."

If Hegseth assumes office, it would mean that someone who has said it’s a sham that extremism is a problem in the military would oversee a sprawling department...

Translation from the "gobblespeak:"  "We at the AP (and NPR) know dat anyone who claims "extremism in duh military is NOT an 'Insider Threat' is a Putin stooge."
   Wait...the black wacko who's the current SecDef said there was no threat of "extremism" in the Armed Forces.  Funny, not a single Media outlet said Lloyd Austin was a "Putin stooge," eh?

NPR and the AP make sure you read that the pipo who "stormed up the Capitol steps were dressed in "tactical gear" and used a "military-style stack formation."
    Ahhh, a "miitary-style stack formation," y'say?  Well dat proves it, eh?  Dey musta been members of duh military!  Say, AP and NPR: without looking it up, can any of you explain what a "stack formation" is, and why it's unique to the military instead of including cops and FBI?

This piece of shit hit-piece goes on for another 2,000 words, all in the same vein.  The Deep State clearly doesn't want Hegseth as SecDef.  They want a "woke" lackey like Austin.  Gee, wonder why.
