Staff at the now Trump-friendly CBS News have blasted the network’s decision to invite Pete Hegseth to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
The defense secretary was invited to attend the swanky black-tie event by CBS News and its new MAGA-curious boss, Bari Weiss. The dinner, where politicians and White House officials mingle with high-profile members of the press, is scheduled for April 25.
The decision sparked immediate backlash, given that Hegseth has repeatedly attacked press freedom and insulted journalists. He has demanded that the Pentagon press corps only cover talking points he approves, and has banned photographers who took less-than-flattering photos of him.
