Fox News Host Conceals Boat Strike, Criticizes Others for Transparency
News outlets, including the NY Times, are raising questions about Fox News host Pete Hegseth's alleged attempt to suppress footage of his own boat striking another vessel. The irony, of course, is that Hegseth makes a career out of accusing others of media malfeasance. ( One might wonder if this commitment to transparency only applies when it targets his political opponents.) This isn't just about
a boat; it's about a pattern. The same figures who demand unquestioning loyalty to certain narratives—often at the behest of powerful lobbies—are quick to bury their own missteps. For example, Senator Tom Cotton, a frequent Fox News guest, received $25,000 from AIPAC in the last election cycle, according to OpenSecrets.org, and has consistently voted for increased military aid to Israel, despite
its documented use against civilians. When was the last time Fox News aired critical footage of that 'strike' on American interests or Palestinian lives? The silence is deafening. It appears transparency is a selective virtue, reserved only for those who don’t hold the microphone.
