Dept. of War announces next generation of Pentagon press corps

Make it happen.

Good news.

War is the biggest driver of news. The MSM will be hurt by the loss of access.

That's good news!

It was funny watching the old reporters thinking their "stand" was going to accomplish something.

As they come slinking back, relegate them to the back of the room and never call on them again. Make the new reporters the heroes

Today our glorious president inspired the troops by running a 4 minute mile and bench pressing his own body weight of 190 pounds.

Funny, because this is exactly what the MSM did with Biden.

That poster voted for Biden.

You don't even realize how hard you nailed the legacy media and their "reporting."

Or do you still believe Biden was sharp as a tack and the smartest man in every room?

You guys and gals can say Great! screw the MSM all you want...this is not good news . Any form of corruption that is or was taking place at the pentagon will be much harder to investigate. You all say you want to drain the swamp.....but really you just want it filled with your "side's" swamp creatures.

Because new media & independent journalists aren’t ‘real’ journalists

We must be spoon fed by the MSM

Here's a balancing post to this emotional vomit. Let's pick these requirements apart.

Key Requirements for Journalists

Credentialing and Acknowledgment: Journalists must read and sign an in-brief form affirming understanding of DoW policies on information security, physical controls, safety, and security compliance. The signature indicates acknowledgment, not agreement, with the policies. New PFACs, including an "Additional Press Identifier Badge," will be issued starting September 30, 2025, for resident media, and October 1, 2025, for non-resident media.

Publication Rules: DoW information, even if unclassified, must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before disclosure. Journalists are not required to submit writings for pre-approval but acknowledge that publishing unauthorized information may lead to credential revocation if deemed a security risk.

Solicitation Prohibition: Journalists must not solicit DoW personnel (service members or civilians) to disclose unauthorized information, including classified material or sensitive unclassified data. This includes calls for tips that could encourage violations of disclosure laws.

Constitutional Protections: The policy explicitly states it does not require waiving constitutional rights, prohibit investigating/reporting/publishing, or mandate submission of materials for review. It describes DoW policies without imposing new reporting restrictions beyond acknowledgment.

Physical Access Measures

Movement Restrictions: Previously unrestricted access to much of the Pentagon is now limited. Journalists require escorts in sensitive areas, aligning with protocols at other U.S. military bases.

Badge Visibility: Credentials must be worn above the waist at all times (except during designated press events) for identification.

Compliance Consequences: Violations, such as unauthorized access or solicitation, may result in being classified as a security risk, leading to badge revocation and facility expulsion.
