Pete Hegseth: Trump's Controversial Defense Pick and Fox News Influence

President-elect Trump has selected Fox News host and U.S. Army veteran Pete Hegseth as his choice for Defense Secretary. Hegseth, known for his right-wing views and lack of government leadership experience, has criticized the military for being 'woke' and opposes women in combat roles. He has previously encouraged Trump to pardon servicemen accused of war crimes and has called for the removal of military leaders involved in diversity and inclusion initiatives. Hegseth's appointment is seen as a controversial choice due to his media background and outspoken opinions.
