At least one piece of woke news per week. Don't know that they could pick a more beta sounding anchor, either. Unsubsidized.

Not sure what a lengthy monologue about Kyle Rittenhouse has to do with Defense News. The tied in story about Penny was at best a stretch as he is a former Marine, but has very little to do with the DoD and Rittenhouse has nothing to do with Defense News. Stick with your point or cut the story short.
