Outrage spreads over Hegseth plan for Religious Affairs office at the Pentagon

What the coverage shows

All three outlets focus on Pete Hegseth’s proposed Office of Religious Affairs at the Pentagon, but they frame it differently. CNN presents it as part of a broader Pentagon overhaul and emphasizes his religious messaging and chaplaincy reforms, while The Independent leads with outrage and quotes religious freedom advocates calling the move unconstitutional. The Hill is the only one here to foreground an opinion segment, with Chuck Todd blasting Hegseth over the idea.
