The Trump Administration Is Throwing More Pentagon Reporters Out Of Their Workspaces
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING NEW YORK — The Trump administration on Friday doubled the number of news organizations it is evicting from their workspaces at the Pentagon in order to rotate in more friendly outlets. 1/6 “The National Press Club is deeply concerned by the Defense Department’s decision to remove certain media organizations from their dedicated spaces in the Pentagon. “Instead of reconsidering its approach after good faith outreach this week from more than 20 news organizations, the Defense Department appears to be doubling down on an unreasonable policy toward news outlets that have covered the U.S. military for decades,” the association said. The association said it does not believe there are space constraints at the Pentagon, and its offer to find room for everyone “was discarded.” Many news outlets with Pentagon workspaces have invested heavily in them, to get reliable Internet access or, in the case of television networks, wiring that enables them to instantly deliver live reports during urgent news stories.
