Trump says he will ‘make a decision’ on Hegseth plan to live-stream execution
The Pentagon has said a firing squad for the Fort Hood shooter is scheduled for Dec. 3. “By showing it, maybe other people won’t be doing what he did,” the president said.
What the coverage shows
CBS News and CNN both frame the story around the Pentagon’s plan for a livestreamed firing-squad execution, with CBS foregrounding the backlash in its headline and CNN stressing the “public livestream” aspect. 60 Minutes is the only outlet here that centers legal scrutiny, with its extract highlighting humanitarian law concerns. CBS’s extract is also the only one to quote Sen. Thom Tillis directly.
