Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host and Army Reserve officer, is facing growing criticism for his involvement in the war with Iran.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
