Steve Bannon, Jack Posobiec, and Captain Jim Fanell didn’t just deliver political analysis; they delivered a takedown of Fox News. Reacting to a Thursday press briefing, former Fox News contributor turned Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth publicly rebuked his old network in a moment that should help Americans identify reliable news from Israeli First propaganda from now on.

During a pointed discussion, the three-man WarRoom panel zeroed in on Hegseth’s defense of President Trump’s press briefing announcing that the so-called “12-Day War” with Iran is over. Hegseth, now in Trump’s inner circle, echoed the Commander-in-Chief’s position: the mission is complete, objectives achieved, no boots on the ground needed. But it wasn’t just support for the mission that caught attention; it was his brutal callout of his former employer.

BANNON: Trump declares the 12-day war over. He's moving on, even signaling openness to economic peace.

As Bannon pointed out, Hegseth was loaded for maximum discomfort- and called Fox News "the worst”  labeling the network as the loudest cheerleader for forever wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and now, Iran. That indictment speaks volumes from someone who once sat behind their cameras.

War Room vs. Fox: America First vs. Israel First

Bannon and Posobiec took it further, drawing a stark contrast between War Room’s America First message and what they called Fox News’ "Israel First” orientation. They argued that Fox’s coverage is heavily shaped by the defense industry and a globalist agenda, not the interests of everyday Americans.

“You don’t see Lockheed Martin or Raytheon ads on War Room,” Bannon said. “They’re everywhere on Fox. They’re paid by the weapons industry.”

Indeed, the trio pointed out that many of the journalists attending press briefings are from defense-focused outlets backed by arms manufacturers. These aren’t objective analysts, they argued — they’re salesmen for war, posing as press.

And what was crushing for Fox News, they noted, was that President Trump’s clarity on the operation — "one and done,” "total obliteration,” "moving on” — left no room for the upsell. There would be no boots on the ground, regime change, or extended entanglement. That’s not good for ratings—or weapons contracts.

Fox’s talking heads, particularly neocon stalwarts like Mark Levin, have been angling for more. More war. More chaos. More Americans live and more dollars are committed to endless foreign conflicts. The disappointment in their coverage since the announcement is palpable. Trump’s definitive statement was a death knell for those banking on escalation.

Media Warfare: The Real Battlefront

Captain Fanell, a retired Naval Intelligence officer, added crucial context. He explained the rigorous targeting and battle damage assessment that went into the operation, declaring the strike a strategic success. But as Posobiec pointed out, that reality didn’t align with the media’s narrative. Mainstream coverage — particularly from Fox — has been mired in doubt, insinuating that the operation was ineffective and unfinished.

Why? Because they want more war. That’s the business model.

Bannon summed it up best: "They got called out today in brutal fashion.”

Call to Action: Stop Watching Fox News

The takeaway is clear: if you’re tired of being manipulated by networks that masquerade as conservative but push endless globalist wars, it’s time to cut the cord.

Fox News isn’t on your side. They’re not pushing America First. They’re pushing Raytheon First. Israel First. Pharma First. War First.

Pete Hegseth saw it from the inside and chose to speak out. The War Room crew has been warning about this for years. The media’s credibility is crumbling, and now even their own are turning against them.

Turn them off.

Stop feeding the machine. Stop funding the narrative. And start tuning into voices that put America first — not the military-industrial complex.

As President Trump declares victory and moves on, so should we.

No more neocon lies. No more corporate war propaganda.

Dump Fox News. Embrace truth. Choose America First.
