Laura Loomer is now credentialed to cover the Pentagon

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.
He is exposing the paranoia and stupidity of the radicalize left.
 
Minimal standards of competence and decency. What media agency does she belong to? Its media credentials remember?
Who cares? Loomer is a meme

Informed folks know what she is.

. . . and they should know what this Defense Department policy is all about anywho.

Insults mean nothing. You did not answer the question. She has no credentials. She is not part of any media agency. She is so far right she is in conflict with half her own party.
credentials are not in the constitution as a standard to be a journalist,, neither is your opinion required,,

in this case there are limited accessible spots for the pentagon so its more of a hall pass than credentials to be a journalist,,

You didn't answer why she should be credentialed. She is a conspiracist loon.
 

Um, what? Laura Loomer, is now a credentialed reporter for the Pentagon. We have truly fallen into the Loony bin.​

?? Are you arguing that press credentials need to be issued on political ideology?

Laura Loomer is now credentialed to cover the Pentagon​



The far-right activist and former congressional candidate has repeatedly criticized defense officials on her website and social media accounts while boasting of her close ties to President Donald Trump.

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.
And this is a problem how?

It could be easily argued that at least half of the MSM credentialed "reporters" would not meet that standard.
At least half of Trump’s cabinet doesn’t meet the standard.
