We may be seeing a subtle change in the media approach to the DOGE train.
Since it’s clear that it’s very popular to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, it looks like some in the media like CNN’s Pam Brown are restructuring their objections to “well, we’re just objecting to the process” or “the way you are doing it is wrong.” But of course, that isn’t all the Democrats and media have been saying — they’d been objecting to the whole thing, with Democrats even claiming this is about Elon Musk trying to steal your grandpa’s social security. That acknowledgement is a win.
On Tuesday, Brown asked Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) about nuclear weapon employees whom the government had fired but wanted to bring back; in her set-up question, the anchor claimed the employees supervised nuclear weapons. Burchett completely rejected what she was trying to sell.
