Pentagon Announces ‘Next Generation’ Press Corps That Includes Gateway Pundit and LindellTV
"Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell introduced the “next generation of the Pentagon press corps” on Wednesday, referencing those media outlets that have accepted the Pentagon’s new controversial press policy.
“Today, the Department of War is announcing the next generation of the Pentagon press corps,” Parnell announced. “We are excited to announce over 60 journalists, representing a broad spectrum of new media outlets and independent journalists, have signed the Pentagon’s media access policy and will be joining the new Pentagon press corps. Twenty-six journalists across 18 outlets were among the former Pentagon press corps who chose to sign the DOW media access policy.”
The new agreement limits reporting freedom for journalists, barring them from releasing information the Pentagon has not approved. The new rule has received bipartisan backlash. Fox News and other major outlets rejected the pledge, leading to the credentials of numerous reporters being pulled."
