Hold This L: Judge curb-stomps the GOP's pathetic pentagon press ban

[Conservative from Georgia]

Federal judge rules against restrictive Pentagon press policy

The policy sought to bar news outlets from reporting information not officially sanctioned for release by agency heads.

Watching the GOP get legally pantsed again is my favorite genre of comedy. A federal judge just nuked your authoritarian Pentagon press ban because…surprise!…the First Amendment actually exists.

You hypocrites scream about "freedom" non-stop, then try to lock out journalists because your egos are too soft to handle tough questions. Absolute clown behavior.
Hegseth allowed only right wing ass kissing outlets like the Gateway Pundit to pitch the softballs. The real press corps is laughing:

Hegseth tried to legally bully the press, then got relentlessly body-slammed by a judge, the New York Times and others are laughing.

The policy was to protect national security..


Liberal judge says “nope! Report it all!”

I guess the pentagon can just stop having press briefings

You’re lying. Show us where the judge said they can report it “All”.

Another win/win then.

Well, Butthole, my guess is that all countries restrict informational releases that might compromise their own national security, so in light of this new butthole judge, I would guess the Pentagon will either tell the butthole to go pound sand or they will simply now stop releasing information to untrustworthy media.

Then you can piss your pants that the Chinese are not getting the flow of leaked info to them they are used to getting...

It was a paraphrase. The judge admitted that troop and war plan information was important but it was more important for the public to have transparency so he ordered that the press could release things not deemed “official statements”

"National security"... imagine what you could impose under the name of "national security".

Take away all rights, I mean, they're just a pain for national security, right? Who needs the right to vote? No, you vote if you're going to vote "the right way", voting left wing is just a threat to "national security".

Freedom of speech, great if you're talking about sucking off Trump, but if you criticize him, well.... "national security".

And where would Trump get such things? Well, where does he get most of his ideas from? Russia and China.

Can you cite the national security information that you claim these reporters released, causing them to get banned?

That isn't what this was about and you know it.

 

[JLW]

This was a win for the forces of democracy over autocracy. The Pentagon can not allow only sycophants into its offices or press conferences or deny the media press credentials access based on vague and arbitrary rules. It was a win for those that prize the 1st amendment.

Not so!! It's creeping fascism.

I don't "claim" anything, butthole, the DOD does. And what difference would it make if I could or couldn't? Why would I know, butthole? Especially as it is sensitive information. The judge is the one who should have asked that of the DOD before making her decision.

Time was, everyone in this country was on the same team. We could share info then tell people: Loose lips sink ships, or, Mums the word. Now, buttholes like you sue to force the government to leak damaging info to our enemies while you think it funny.

Maybe the next terror attack will be right in Atlanta then you can laugh your ass off.

The judge should try educating themself on the separation of powers. Freedom of the press is freedom to print a story, it's not unfettered access to the executive branch. I hope they appeal this, the ruling should be reversed.

You’re making progress. You dropped the “national security” BS and switched it to “sensitive information” or “damaging info”. You thought about using “classified information.” But you woke

I'm beginning to think some of these judges - a lot of them, actually - need to be "disappeared" in the middle of the night.
This isn't a g.d. 1st Amendment issue at all.
It's a matter of national security.
And outright lying, as well.

Funny thing, I can't find corporate media, the MSM, in the Constitution. This "judge" seems to think the MSM is the source of the First Amendment.

Biden refused press passes to alternative media all the time.

We will ignore this idiot judge, kick Democrats in the nut sack and carry on.
