Barbara Starr: Trump Accusing Media of Treasonous War Coverage “Can Essentially Paint a Target on the Back of a Journalist” for Those Who “Want to Go after Reporters”

Howard Kurtz is joined by former CNN Pentagon correspondent & USC senior fellow Barbara Starr to discuss the intensifying media friction during the Iran War. They discuss President Trump’s “treason” rhetoric, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s accusations of “intentional” negative headlines, and the strategic challenge of defining victory while asymmetric drone warfare cripples the Strait of Hormuz. Barbara also addresses the rising physical dangers journalists face in a highly charged domestic and global climate.
