‘New York Times’ sues Pentagon over media restrictions
The fundamental struggle between a free press and government control is playing out right now at the Pentagon. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently implemented a policy demanding that credentialed journalists pledge not to report any unauthorized information, even if it’s unclassified. Seeing this as an unconstitutional gag order, The New York Times is now suing the Pentagon, arguing that the policy violates the First Amendment. This move is part of a broader pattern of restricting independent journalism, leading to a press corps shake-up that favors outlets willing to align with the administration’s views. David Folkenflik with NPR has the full story.
