"Is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. service members?" Collins asked.
"No," Leavitt responded. "It's the position of this administration that the press in this room and the press across the country should accurately report on the success of Operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing to the rogue Iranian regime that has threatened the lives of every single American in this room."
