With Congress returning from their election recess, the Elitist Media Evening News have honed in on a key legislative item for this lame duck session: the impeachment of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. This, as they make interesting omissions and stuff their newscasts with a dizzying array of national non-stories.
For a representative sample, watch the item put forth by CBS Evening News in its entirety, as aired on Monday, November 9th, 2026:

Correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns helps Massie advance the leftist talking point of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro being kidnapped, along with the other reasons for the punitive impeachment of Hegseth. The item includes a soundbite from Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon, who says “Hegseth was not the right choice,” and a soundbite from an incoming Democrat freshman saying it’s not a matter of if but when.
CBS’s was the most concise of the reports, focusing solely on Hegseth. ABC did a more extensive report featuring soundbites from President Donald Trump, House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries, in addition to the obligatory Don Bacon quote. The report closed out with a recap of Trump’s immigration quote from his 60 Minutes interview, his clarification that policy has not changed, and a contrast with Stephen Miller taking over as White House Chief of Staff.
