Today on Media Miss Minute, the father of a service member killed in the Iran war
0:04
is pushing back on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after he claimed families told him to
0:10
finish the job. And as the war continues, the U.S. is issuing a warning for all Americans traveling abroad

I'm Craig DeGrelli. In today's Media Miss Minute, we're looking at two stories getting
0:24
little attention from partisan outlets, starting with what the right is missing
0:29
The father of a U.S. service member killed in the Iran war is directly disputing a claim from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
0:37
After a private meeting with families of six service members who died when a refueling plane crashed in Iraq
0:43
Hegseth said they told him to, quote, finish the job. Charles Simmons, whose 28-year-old son
0:50
Tech Sergeant Tyler Simmons, was among those killed, says he never said that and didn't hear anyone else say it either
0:57
Now to what the left is missing. The State Department has issued a worldwide security alert for Americans abroad
1:03
with a focus on the Middle East. Officials are urging travelers to use extra caution
1:08
and follow guidance from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. The alert follows attacks on several U.S. diplomatic facilities in recent weeks
1:17
including some outside the Middle East. For more stories missed or minimized by partisan media
