Cross-source trail

• AP check: Hegseth gets bipartisan grilling on rising costs of the Iran war and Trump’s end game (AP News, reported-source check)
• Reuters check: Trump says stopping Iran's nuclear program outweighs Americans' economic pain (Reuters, reported-source check)
• NBC check: China and U.S. agree Hormuz shouldn’t be ‘militarized,’ Marco Rubio says (NBC News, reported-source check)
• Politico check: Why Kevin Warsh is likely to run afoul of Trump at the Fed (Politico, reported-source check)

BadPD treats wire reports, official releases, foreign state-media frames, social-first leads, and local reports as separate lanes. The useful truth usually lives where those lanes agree, conflict, or leave an obvious public-record gap.

Why it matters

Fast news gets sloppy when nobody keeps the source trail attached. BadPD keeps the public link visible, names the source, and treats every first-cycle claim as unfinished until the record gets stronger.

What to watch next

Watch official statements, congressional notice, military or diplomatic paperwork, oil-market effects, civilian-impact reporting, and corrections from first-cycle coverage.
