Laura Loomer is now credentialed to cover the Pentagon

[Zincwarrior]

Laura Looney Tunes could not cover a rubber duck in a bathtub.

Now I have the Kermit the Frog rubber duckie song in my head.

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

She's not "far right." She's an establishment shill.

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

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.

FINALLY! A journalist we can all trust!!

The Pentagony is full of Cold War fossils who believe that terrorism is only a "Jew problem"

 

[Delldude]

It’s obvious to any rational person.

You're not a rational person.

 

[Frankenstein]

The 1st amendment defines who the free press includes?

They only like that when it benefits them somehow

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

She has no credentials. She is not part of any media agency.

Jurinalists Give Us Trickle-Down Information

The way brown-noses or Ivy Plants get credentials now is neither meritorious nor productive.

Not only Loomer, so is the Gateway Pundit and other deeply depraved outlets.

Those media outlets with even a shred of self-esteem and respect would agree to go along with Alky Pete's censorship.

Get this. Not even FOX NEWS would agree to his terms!

So...yeah. Scraping the bottom of the barrel, Hegseth is. Expect Goebbels-level reportage going forward.

Just the ongoing humiliation of America.

Just the ongoing humiliation of the left

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

Do you consider Daily Kos, HuffPo, and Salon credible sources of journalism?

Stop whining

Geez man…you voted for censorship, I am happy to see more reporters and more points of view

DOD says to endless gotcha questions trying to undermine the administration......

"This is the Gateway Pundit, live from the Pentagon."

Nope.

Hegseth is a chickenshit who does not like being unable to control the narrative.

Even his own Fox News pals won't go along with his bullshit.

That's pretty revealing. And pathetic.

Stopping anonymous sources leaking.
Old boy network at DOD.
Is why so many people have been let go......

'Loose lips sink ships'

Another stupid narrative.

You think some Pentagon source doesn't know how to reach out to a reporter?

Old boy network at DOD.

New boi over his head.

And he's feeling it.
