This from Daily Kos….

The invisible Pete Hegseth

Sit through five combined hours of Sunday morning cable news shows (like I did) and you’ll quickly realize there’s something missing. From “Fox & Friends” to “Meet the Press” and “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” absolutely no one is talking about Pete Hegseth anymore. Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, has been a ghost since damaging stories about his workplace and personal conduct hit the headlines early last month.

Cable news outlets may not be curious about Hegseth’s vanishing act, but Daily Kos’ own Oliver Willis sure is. In a great New Year’s Eve piece, Willis cast light on the Trump campaign’s aggressive effort to silence their own nominees. That includes declining media interview requests and avoiding all social media ahead of confirmation hearings later this month.

That’s a rule made especially for Hegseth, who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. “Hegseth has taken to social media to complain about “anti-Christian bigotry” in the media, the “lying press” and the “Left Wing hack group” ProPublica,” Willis writes. No wonder Trump enforcer Susie Wiles is ordering nominees to clam up. But that also means the press won’t have any opportunity to get clear answers from Hegseth about his history of bizarre Jan. 6 conspiracy theories or his alleged sexual assault.

All that cable news silence has been a huge benefit for Hegseth. Senate Majority Leader John Thune reportedly told Trump recently that he believes Hegseth has the votes needed to be confirmed as defense secretary. That certainly wasn’t the case when Hegseth was the center of media attention a month ago. Seems Hegseth’s numbers improved as he faded from Americans’ short-term memory, and now the Republicans who once planned to oppose him are falling in line with Trump’s wishes.

With just eight days until Hegseth faces Senate confirmation hearings, corporate media outlets have decided to avert their eyes. The result will be a disaster for American national security, enabled by corporate media silence….
