Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has imposed draconian new rules on reporters covering the Pentagon requiring them to use only information approved by him for release.
There's a whole bunch of problems with this:
- Hegseth is a nut who has spewed all kinds of BS since taking office. There's no way in hell his version of reality can be accepted as actual reality.
- F*** this, we still have a first amendment, and this wacko doesn't get to repeal it.
- There's a long history of people like him doing some really nasty stuff, and we need a strong, engaged media to shine a light on it before it mushrooms into World War 3.
Reporters walked out en masse to protest this, and we salute them. But we also need them there. And we need a Defense Department that defends the Constitution, not tears it apart.
Sign on, and demand the new rules by dropped IMMEDIATELY.
