Laura Loomer, the far-right political activist and former congressional candidate in Florida, has been credentialed to cover the Defense Department, according to one person familiar with the matter, joining a new cohort of right-wing media that have agreed to the Pentagon’s new press policy.


Loomer, 32, has forged a close alliance with President Donald Trump, routinely meeting with the president in the Oval Office during his second term. She has frustrated some in the administration with her proximity to Trump and public criticisms of high-ranking defense and national security officials who she argues are disloyal to Trump — some of whom have been dismissed soon after her rebukes.

Loomer’s addition to the Pentagon’s press corps comes as the department has overhauled its media policies. Journalists covering the Pentagon walked out of the building en masse last month, in response to a new department press policy that prohibited them from soliciting any information not made available by the government.

Dozens of news outlets, including The Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN and Fox News, refused to sign the policy that many called a threat to press freedom. Out of the outlets that made up the day-to-day Pentagon press corps, only One America News, a right-wing cable network, agreed to sign.

The Pentagon unveiled a new press corps last month, consisting largely of far-right media publications, including the Gateway Pundit, the Post Millennial, and LindellTV — MyPillow founder Mike Lindell’s streaming service — along with independent journalists and online influencers. These publications, which have signed or signaled they will sign the agreement, have not previously covered the Pentagon in person on a regular basis.
Loomer and the Defense Department did not immediately respond to request for comment. The White House declined to comment.

Loomer’s social media posts have presaged the firings of several Trump officials, and she has often bragged that she “Loomered” them, using her slang term for such conquests. But some in the administration have suggested Loomer overplays her influence by only offering a preview of actions that were already imminent.

So what?

And any article that has to repeat "far right" over and over just shows its implicit bias.

Just the ongoing humiliation of America.

 

[Lockback]

Isn't it beautiful?
Now instead of hearing CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC and CNN lie to us, we can get a different point of view!
I call that a win/win.

It’s a factual statement. She’s far right.

 

[martybegan]

It’s a factual statement. She’s far right.

It's an opinion, not a fact.

 

[Marener]

It's an opinion, not a fact.

It’s obvious to any rational person.

 

[MarcATL]

It's an opinion, not a fact.

You believe she's not far rightwing?

 

[martybegan]

You believe she's not far rightwing?

I believe things like that are opinions, especially when you use terms like "far"

 

[Zincwarrior]

You believe she's not far rightwing?

She's beyond rightwing in dead center of crazy town. Also she's not media. what the hell?

The 1st amendment defines who the free press includes?

Yep. The other networks refused to comply and then ***** about it. The policy never dictate what they can or cannot report.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Minimal standards of competence and decency. What media agency does she belong to? Its media credentials remember?

Nope, don't see that in the Constitution.

"decency". LOL talk about a wide open descriptor that can be used to stifle opinions you don't like.

She’s a hell of a lot more accurate in her reporting than CNN or MSDNC.

Have fun with your meltdown.

Hence the problem with this country. You prefer to get spoon-fed by the same old media without a shred of honestly because of the person they hate. When these media companies take that route, they are no longer doing honest reporting but spreading propaganda.

 

[theHawk]

It’s a factual statement. She’s far right.

So what?

“Far right” is now just a normal person that accepts there are only two genders.

They used to let Jim Acosta in there!

Paranoia and stupidity have always been what Trump is about, and he has been making it official since day one. This is another step towards the new normal.

The Great Leap Backwards.
