President Trump continues to say that Iran wants to make a deal to end the war and that the U.S. has control over the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the president downplayed concerns about the conditions aboard the USS Lincoln. MS NOW Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde and New York Times Chief White House Correspondent Peter Baker join Stephanie Ruhle with more details and analysis.

Even more fun, this sentence is grammatically vague [I removed the end clause, because it’s irrelevant to this point and adds another comma]:

The reporting available shows Hegseth and the Navy publicly pushing back, calling media descriptions “completely misrepresented,” and declining to confirm specific supply shortfall details in some interviews

That could be an Oxford comma, but it’s probably not. I assume the “calling…misrepresented“ clause qualifies the first point and the second comma is because they’ve ended a quote.

See, they could’ve reworded it for the sake of clarity, but no… they’re just lazy. Not to mention that the responsibility for published articles like this don’t just fall on the writer; there are editors who review this as well. At least three sets of eyes looked over this, and they all decided that this was the best version.

Sometimes I wonder if crap like this gets published just to prove that it wasn’t generated by AI.

The first thing I thought after skimming the numbered headings was that it was AI generated
