Hegseth attacks media at Pentagon
The Secretary's remarks have drawn sharp criticism from journalism advocacy groups and some members of Congress.
During the briefing, Hegseth used a quote that appeared to be taken from the film 'Pulp Fiction' rather than the actual Bible.
He argued that negative reporting is undermining the military's mission and aiding the Iranian regime.
The incident is the latest in a series of public confrontations between the Trump administration and the press corps.
