Silencing the Messenger

As the Trump administration continues to try and silence journalism, they got a bit of some blowback, even from the Trump-friendly media.

Pentagon beat reporters turned in their press badges as they refused to sign Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new policy that criminalizes routine reporting.

The policy would basically not allow journalists to report on anything that was not first cleared by the Pentagon.

The news media was told to sign the policy, or lose access to the Pentagon.

Trump-friendly Fox News, Newsmax, and The Daily Caller all rejected the policy, along with ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and many newspapers.

In fact, the only one which we know that did sign the policy was One America News, which tells you everything you need to know about OAN.
