It looks like a number of self confessed spies working at The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, The Atlantic, Politico, The Hill, The Guardian, Reuters, the Associated Press, NPR, HuffPost, Breaking Defense and some other spy agencies have declared their total dissatisfaction with the War Department requiring them to sign a piece of paper that declares that they will not spy while in the Pentagon and are refusing to play ball. I'm not sure if they understand how amusing they are. I'm sure that's not their intent.
They appear to conflate being allowed access to a building with their First Amendment Rights and are prepared to wage war to continue their "right" to enter the Headquarters of the United States War Department. Of course, nothing actually says that they have some sort of God given right to enter or work in the Pentagon but they hope that you won't notice that sticky little point.
On the whole, I approve of what the War Department is trying to accomplish here and I'm kind of surprised at the media meltdown. All the badges and free entry mean is that the total fake and bogus "reporters" can get into the building and schmooze with their "friends and natural communist allies." That's all the credential means.
We know that the only real reporting comes when actual reporters and investigators dig deep into the things that others are trying to hide and even then only when their editors and publishers have the guts to publish it. In looking at the long list of the nazgulpetters I don't see any that have actually been of much use in busting loose with the real facts and presenting them to the public. A few may think some are resting on their laurels but too many times those laurels were won by dipshits posing as journalists who reported that there was no famine in Ukraine.
Credentialed media are nothing more than press secretaries and mostly unpaid shills for whoever badged them. We can do better. This is what investigative journalists really imagine themselves to be and the better ones are.

A LOT of evil people are busily outing themselves as open traitors. Unfortunately the gutless eunuchs that comprise almost ALL of the GOP won't do the needful. So these traitors will remain openly traitorous...and free.
Stupid request. If you find that someone publishes something of which you do not approve, then prevent them from ever returning.
The levels of classification in our Security System are Confidential, Secret and Top Secret. The release of each category of information to unauthorized people would cause, damage, serious damage or grave damage to national security. That's all it is. The Pentagon has very rarely gone after any media outlet that leaks classified information and I think that was largely because the unspoken and no doubt TS agreement was that the Pentagon would sometimes leak data deliberately via the free press so that those outside would know something that was needful for them to know. It is my own belief now that there are parties at the very top who knew fell well that Task Group Orestes was compromised by the Walkers for many years and took no action because they thought it was in the long term interest of the USA for the USSR to know just what we really thought was going on and what we were capable of doing. I suspect we had a similar insight into their TS comms channels and that they knew it too. Nobody really wanted a war between us.
In the long term, ending this idiotic special relationship with favored press minions in the Pentagon is long overdue. It is time for those SLFs to get off their ass and start doing their jobs again and not wait around for hand outs and press releases. They never mention that side of it though, do they?
