Hegseth fires Pentagon's top military planner over alleged leaks

What the coverage shows

All six outlets center on Hegseth removing a top Army or Pentagon planner and connect the move to alleged leaks. CBS News, CNBC and The Atlantic keep the focus on the firing itself, while Fox News and Al Jazeera foreground the leak investigation and classified-information angle. The New York Times alone frames the dismissal as part of a broader campaign to punish senior officers who speak to reporters.
