Newsmax Joins Major Media Outlets In Refusing to Sign Onto Pete Hegseth’s Press Restrictions
"Pro-Trump cable news outlet Newsmax refused to sign Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s updated press policy on Monday, joining legacy media outlets that condemned Hegseth’s policy as press intimidation and a violation of the First Amendment.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, put out a statement on Monday saying, “The Atlantic’s journalists will not sign the Pentagon’s press policy. We fundamentally oppose the restrictions that the Trump administration is imposing on journalists who are reporting on matters of defense and national security.”
He added, “The requirements violate our First Amendment rights, and the rights of Americans who seek to know how taxpayer- funded military resources and personnel are being deployed. We will continue to cover matters of defense, war, and national security independently and fairly.”"
