In the editor: “(Defense Secretary Pete) Hegseth … spent most of his time spreading the media scope and personally insulted the reporters who asked him” (“The Pentagon leaders sparked military tactics to show disruption from US attacks in Iran,” June 26).
Maybe, at 84, I’m getting old, and I probably didn’t keep moving in times, but I wanted long days of press conferences giving real information through civil questions and answers.
Why can’t President Trump, his press secretary or his heads in the Cabinet answered the questions, even the unwillingness, without attacking the question? Each presence has occasional relations with the enemy of the press and Congress, just because each group that makes their job. It is worth noting that “polite enemies” is not an oxymoron in this context.
I actually get nostalgic thinking in times to the contrary now, if “alternative facts” are the answers to instability questions, or lack of self-esteem.
