Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth complained last week that reporting on troop deaths is intended to make the president look bad, and this week loudly demanded positive coverage from a patriotic press corps.
When you're thinking about a major decision like this, the way the President makes these decisions is he talks to a lot of people. Obviously, we're thinking of various ins and outs, various options—what this looks like, how to accomplish our goals, what our goals should be. And I think it's important for the President of the United States to be able to have that conversation with his team without his team running their mouths to the American media.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth lashed out at the press to start the presser, singling out CNN and saying, 'The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better!' As Hegseth left the podium at the end of the presser, the tail end of a laugh could be heard on Friday's edition of CNN News Central.
To the media outlets and political left screaming 'endless wars,' stop. This is not Iraq. This is not endless. Our generation knows better and so does this president. Despite claiming the war on Iran would not be endless, Hegseth belittled journalists at the presser for asking how long the war would last.

We wanted to be the most talked about brand during Sleep Month, and Kazoo's Sleep WellnessTM PR campaign more than delivered. In fact, it outperformed all previous PR campaigns with a huge 52% share of voice.

The only question we need to ask is when can we do more?
The UK PR Industry is always transforming itself and that means that it looks much different in 2026 than it did even a couple of years ago, so if you are looking for a company to represent you and come up with campaigns that actually bring results this year, you are going to have to choose wisely. Not only that, but journalists are under more pressure than ever, news cycles move at breakneck speed, and generic press releases simply don't cut through anymore, and you're going to find it much more difficult to make an impression if you do not have the right PR agency on your side.
No, I kept going because I kept being asked questions about it. We were on the Champions League [coverage] and Liverpool were playing that night and there was the big story about Mo not travelling. You couldn't get away from it, it was the biggest story in town, wasn't it for seven to 10 days, so no I would not take anything back.

Which is why President Donald Trump's recent outburstssnapping Quiet! Piggy! at Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey aboard Air Force One, then calling ABC's Mary Bruce a terrible person in the Oval Officeended up revealing more than he meant to. The questions were entirely predictable and reasonable, which made the eruptions seem impossibly worse. And that mismatch in tone is the story.
Every public relations (PR) professional's dream is to get their brand or client featured in a national publication with a high readership. In the digital PR world, getting a link back to your company's website is even better. Unfortunately, it's not always that simple, as you might not have news to share every month that interests the press. So, how can you still earn media coverage, and links back to your website?
"Even before the game, I'm terrified of what the media is about to ask," she told Rooks. "It could be the nicest question, but it's going to get flipped or put into a different light or a different perspective. It's like, are you here intentionally to start mess or are you intentionally here to ask a question?"
Sometimes presidents are press averse; Trump embraced the media, Collins said. He did it for decades as like this New York mogul, and so he just had a different approach to the press, and always has. Collins also said that, because Trump likes to take questions from the media, events that were once considered bland are now must-attend spectacles for the press.
Last week, Sanders caused a stir in the sports world when he expressed his belief that he's good enough to be a starting quarterback in the league. The rookie QB added that if you see the quarterback play in the league right now, I know I'm capable of doing better than that. At the time of writing, Sanders was third on the Browns' depth chart behind starting QB Dillon Gabriel and backup Joe Flacco.
Berube: Well, there is familiarity, right? You spend a year here, so you know the guys, and you know the organization and how things work. For sure, there is a little bit of familiarity, which helps. I am excited and ready to go. That feeling hasn't changed for me over the years. You come into camp, and you see all of the guys skating and preparing. It is a really exciting time for me.
