Part 7/10:
An example discussed is the mischaracterization of hearings scheduled or requested by Congress. Axios reported that certain hearings were canceled or not scheduled, leading to claims that the legislative branch is being sidelined. However, the transcript clarifies that the Chairman of relevant committees had simply indicated no hearings were currently planned, emphasizing that scheduling is within congressional authority.
This discrepancy points to a larger debate about accountability and transparency, with many emphasizing that public hearings are essential for informed debate and democratic oversight of military engagements abroad.
