New analysis from the Media Research Center has found that coverage of Pete Hegseth by the major news networks during Trump’s first 100 days has been 100 percent negative. This goes beyond media bias. It’s the weaponization of media.
From the moment Trump nominated Hegseth to be Defense Secretary, you could tell that Democrats and their media allies wanted his scalp. Democrats turned the Hegseth hearing in the Senate into a clown show.
The fact that the media is still gunning for him shows that they are still obsessed with the idea of bringing him down.
The Daily Wire reported:
‘PERFECT SCORE!’: Pete Hegseth Obliterates Legacy Media Over New Study On Bias
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth laid into legacy media outlets after data compiled by The Media Research Center (MRC) revealed that he had received 100% negative coverage from the three major networks: ABC News, CBS News, and NBC News.
Hegseth responded to the report with a post on X showing the tone of his coverage compared to that of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) adviser Elon Musk — who received 89% negative coverage and 96% negative coverage, respectively.
“In case you wonder what we — and President Trump — are up against. 100% NEGATIVE coverage from so-call[ed] ‘mainstream’ press in the first 100 days. PERFECT SCORE,” Hegseth quipped. “(Come on @RobertKennedyJr & @elonmusk, you guys can do better!)”
Hegseth offered a guess as to why the coverage was so overwhelmingly negative when he spoke at Wednesday’s cabinet meeting, where he told the president and other members of the administration, “We’re controversial because we’re OVER the target!”
To his credit, Hegseth has a sense of humor about this.
In case you wonder what we — and President Trump — are up against.
100% NEGATIVE coverage from so-call “mainstream” press in the first 100 days. PERFECT SCORE.

Hegseth is doing a great job and recruitment in the military is already going up on his watch. This is one of the reasons that the left keeps going after him. They don’t want him to be successful.
