Part of an old Jewish (Hillel) saying goes, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” Last night, the most visible part of our national press corps showed they won’t stand up for each other. And they undermined not just themselves, but every local news reporter who must put up with far worse.

Bill KristolThe reporting by NBC News on our depletion of weapons and by the Times on the selection of a CNO is more evidence that Hegseth—with his firing of competent general officers, politicized promotions, and a culture where truth-telling is punished—has done real damage to our military.
