Washington Post, NYT and More Reject Trump’s Revised Pentagon Press Policy, Citing First Amendment Rights

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Not sure what brought this on with the Pentagon. But, as long as there isn't any shenanigans being
played by the media, they should have their right in reporting and investigating, even if it's
uncomfortable for the Pentagon.

"Not sure", simp? Of course you're not.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

So that means they should be able to roam around wherever they want? Without badges? Ridiculous.

They don't simp. There are lots of SCIFs in the Pentagon. The media does not go in those SCIFs.

And why the **** do you care? The dumb **** Hegseth shares war plans on ******* Signal. Nothing is secret with that dipshit.

"Not sure", simp? Of course you're not.

Not what?

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Not what?

Sure....of anything.

You don't know why Nazis like Trump and Hegseth don't want the media reporting the truth about anything. Of course you don't get it.

 

[Blisterfinger]

MAGA is losing on all fronts on every issue.

Actually that would be you LOL

News outlets refuse to sign Pentagon’s new press policy as deadline looms​

Most of the nation’s leading news organizations have said they will not sign a policy severely restricting journalists’ access to the Pentagon ahead of a Tuesday deadline set by the Trump administration.

Outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, The Associated Press, The Hill and NewsNation will not sign the policy, which limits access for reporters who are credentialed to work in the massive Arlington, Va., building.

The Pentagon Press Association (PPA) said in a forceful statement last week Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his department are trying to “stifle a free press” with the new policy, which it said, “conveys an unprecedented message of intimidation to everyone within the DoD, warning against any unapproved interactions with the press and even suggesting it’s criminal to speak without express permission — which plainly, it is not.”

Only one media outlet, pro-Trump conservative network One America News, has said it will sign the Pentagon’s new policy. Conservative cable channel Newsmax has said it will not sign, calling the restrictions “unnecessary.”

Should OAN even be referred to as a news outlet?

Is this more embarrassing for the unqualified, former weekend anchor on Faux or was it his comical performance in front of the military brass? It's a tossup.

Then they will be thrown out of the Pentagon.

But they do, Nazi.

Sorry name calling fake but Pentagon higher up the food chain than couple if news outlets

Oh, I get it, you're just trolling.

Good evening, troll

I haven’t read the policy but the Pentagon nor any government agency is obliged to cooperate or oblige the press. Them not doing so isn’t a violation of the 1st amendment or restricting a free press. The press having the level of access to the DOD and its personnel is Avery recent development.

Then they can do their jobs and develop credible sources. They never minded reporting press releases from the Autopen Administration as if they were the gospel.

The virtual unanimity of the press's reaction to Pete's paranoia, “convey(ing) an unprecedented message of intimidation to everyone within the DoD, warning against any unapproved interactions with the press and even suggesting it’s criminal to speak without express permission — which plainly, it is not.” tells us all we need to know.

Yet there you defending the indefensible once again. Just like you've been told.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Trump is up to what, 5 wars he stopped.

TDS DONT CARE.

27 wars! All the best wars!

I am sure turning the press against the Pentagon will be just fine for Botox Hegseth.

 

[Lisa558]

Trump is up to what, 5 wars he stopped.

TDS DONT CARE.

It’s more like 8.

 

[Zincwarrior]

It’s more like 8.

52 wars! 16 this week alone!

 

[Clipper]

The TDS media wouldn't sign a Trump cure for cancer if it happened. What else is new?

Even if he promised not to take it?

The press has been virtually unanimous about hating all things Trump for coming up on ten years now.

How is this any different?

You libs resort to sarcasm when you want to hide Trump’s accomplishments.

He’s been amazing.

 

[berg80]

Then they will be thrown out of the Pentagon.

You say that as if it's a good thing. Oh.........wait........for enemies of the unvarnished truth I guess it is.

 

[berg80]

You libs resort to sarcasm when you want to hide Trump’s accomplishments.

He’s been amazing.

Amazing at raising the unemployment rate, not slowing inflation, causing grocery prices to rise, breaking the law, corruptly making money for himself, violating norms and traditions, alienating allies, failing to end the war in Ukraine, lying, ordering the illegal killing of people in international waters, weakening the country's security, making climate change worse, and on............
