President Donald Trump said Thursday on Truth Social that the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will not be streamed.
Why it matters: The reversal undoes a plan Hegseth announced last week. It drew criticism from both parties and the Catholic Church.
Where they split: Coverage differs on whether the story is a policy reversal prompted by public opposition or a rebuke of Hegseth personally.
Center coverage, 3 sources: The center presents it as a walk-back of Hegseth's idea after broad condemnation.
Left coverage, 4 sources: The left frames the decision as a retreat forced by bipartisan backlash and a setback for Hegseth.
Right coverage, 4 sources: The right leads with Trump's announcement and his account of Hasan's crimes, with the execution still on schedule.
What’s next: Hasan is scheduled to die by firing squad at Fort Hood on Dec. 3.
