NextImg:BREAKING: Conservative News outlet joins two Garbage Medias to oppose new Hegseth policy – The Right Scoop

A conservative news outlet has just joined two garbage media outlets to oppose Pete Hegseth’s new Pentagon policy prohibiting reporters from roaming the halls without an escort.

Since Newsmax, the AP and the New York Times won’t sign onto the new policy, it may mean they get kicked out of the Pentagon.

Here’s more from the AP:

News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon.

Those outlets say the policy threatens to punish them for routine news gathering protected by the First Amendment. The Washington Post and The Atlantic on Monday also publicly joined the group that says it will not be signing.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reacted by posting the Times’ statement on X and adding a hand-waving emoji. His team has said that reporters who don’t acknowledge the policy in writing by Tuesday must turn in badges admitting them to the Pentagon and clear out their workspaces the next day.

The new rules bar journalist access to large swaths of the Pentagon without an escort and say Hegseth can revoke press access to reporters who ask anyone in the Defense Department for information — classified or otherwise — that he has not approved for release.

Newsmax, whose on-air journalists are generally supportive of President Donald Trump’s administration, said that “we believe the requirements are unnecessary and onerous and hope that the Pentagon will review the matter further.”
