They called for the removal of executive producer Bill Owens, citing a pattern of poor editorial decisions.

The Federalist: Dems More Panicked About DOGE Than Chinese Hackers
Democrats have recently held multiple press conferences criticizing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for its oversight role over the Treasury Department, claiming it poses a threat to sensitive data. This contrasts sharply with their silence on Chinese cyberattacks that have compromised U.S. systems and stolen sensitive information.
Despite repeated breaches by Chinese hackers, including a major incident in December 2024, Democrats have not publicly addressed these security failures. Critics argue that if the party had shown the same urgency in confronting foreign cyber threats as they do toward domestic oversight, the risks to American data could be mitigated.
