A very important omission, isn’t it? It makes their reporting a complete lie, repeated by almost every outfit, except OANN. Even Newsmax and Fox went along with it. Publius continues:​

1. 1. In the media’s distorted, untrue quote, the language suggests that any news story requires pre-approval by the DoW. If this were true, it would be a clear First Amendment violation.

But it’s not true.

1. 1. The ACTUAL quote merely says that people who work in the Department of War are not allowed to provide important defense-related information to the media without the appropriate national security approval party in the DoW authorizing that DoW employee to share such information first.

THIS IS NOT A FIRST AMENDMENT VIOLATION. THIS IS NOT PRIOR RESTRAINT. The press is still allowed to write whatever it wants. The limitation is on DoW employees, military and civilian, and NO ONE ELSE.

THERE ARE NO LIMITS ON THE PRESS IN THIS MATTER, and the press is purposely and deliberately lying to you about this issue—lying by omission.

With AI and our national legacy media, we can't believe a damn thing about what we see and hear these days.

The Pentagon new "rules" are shit.

The number of bipartisan outlets who have rejected it say all that is needed to be said.

More abuse of power from this autocracy.

The DoW has a public relations department trained at dealing with the press. This new policy is about holding media platforms accountable for print.

No it isn't.

There's a reason this administration spends so much of our taxpayer dollars on marketing. (Hint: it's not to be transparent or provide any sense of the truth)

What is transparency? The policy is to restrict access to individuals that are not vetted, not authorized to talk to the media. During my service in the military we weren't allowed to engage with the media. Wasn't our job. We had public relations experts to deal with media and answer questions.

What is transparency?

Allowing the press to pursue stories.

No it's not. It's about government controlling the press. You guys don't like that...right?

They were never allowed to wander the balls without their badges. They have never been allowed nor were they in classified areas.

Here's how the Independent covered it:

. . . Status News founder Oliver Darcy, meanwhile, mockingly described the new press rules as Hegseth creating his own “safe space” within the department. “Hegseth, the former Fox News host who once endlessly mocked the idea of ‘safe spaces,’ is now constructing the largest one in Washington,” Darcy wrote this week. “It turns out he is a snowflake all along who seems quite triggered by reporting into what he is up to at the Pentagon.” . . .

From Axios:

. . . Most news organizations view soliciting tips as part of standard newsgathering. It's also very typical in reporting — particularly on national security issues — to ask for and receive information from officials that has not been explicitly cleared for release by their superiors. The language around penalties for soliciting such information for both reporters themselves and their sources was a cause of concern for many outlets that declined to sign. . . .
