Pentagon Press Permutations
The Trump administration is throwing more Pentagon reporters out of their workspaces
By DAVID BAUDER
NEW YORK (AP) — 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.
CNN, The Washington Post, the Hill and War Zone will be asked to leave their spaces, with Newsmax, the Washington Examiner, the Daily Caller and the Free Press moving in, according to a memo from John Ullyot, acting assistant to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The decision, which the Pentagon Press Association called “unreasonable,” continues a pattern of hostility toward journalists by the administration, which this week said it was looking to cancel media subscriptions paid for by agencies of the federal government.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Pentagon announced its new rotation policy a week ago, saying that NBC News, the New York Times, NPR and Politico would be required to vacate. Their spaces are to be taken by One America News Network, the New York Post, Breitbart News and Huffpost.
Hostile ‘news’ organizations who are losing prime time audience to The Food Channel are asked to vacate spaces that are provided as a courtesy, go figure. Even less surprising is replacing them with more popular outlets. Including HuffPo is brilliant, preemptively deflecting accusations of favoritism. Of course the Mainstream Media will cry foul, write articles like this one and nobody cares.

WOW, FIRST
America’s favorite newspaper never got a desk in the Pentagon, and you don’t hear them bitching.
Many of us would happily reach for Grit, over the NYT or WaPo.
Talk about losing viewers, RuPaul has beaten CNN lately!
It’s the transition. 😉
Nicely played
According to Lt. Raine:
I watch varied news sources between Fox, MSNBC and the gauntlet and also read from more obscure sources. I was watching Morning Joe freak out this morning about what the vice president said about legitimate execute power. I have to be honest, I kind of enjoy the freakouts but I do agree with JD Vance. I think if the president himself went to these offices to get the data instead of duly appointed deputies there would still be absolute freakouts. I am happy they are changing out the regular barking shrills. Could you imagine what they would say if President Trump himself just showed up at these offices. I would LOVE it. This experiment has long since been overrun by the beaureacrats, lawyers and career politicians. I hope we get the “WE” back in we the people. I am pessimistic.
Legitimate EXECUTE power, WTF!!!! Talk about an autocorrect… executive, lol
We may yet get to that, depending on what we find next.
I suspect “Epsteins list” is going to be minor in comparison.
Would still like to see it released. It would be so much fun watching them try to defend themselves from any and all angles.
Popcorn anybody?
The liberal butthurt is exquisitely executed.
The Babylon Bee needs a desk for sure
Their satire and parody has been wayyy too predictive lately. Awesome and scary at the same time.
That would be an epic burn.
CNN’s desk!
Tomorrow, the Pentagon/DOD
Grinning over the winning. Payback (and Karma) is a cast iron bitch. I personally don’t think that ANY news organization should be slanted one way or the other. They should just “We report…you decide”. Like others here, I look at a whole bunch of different news feeds, blogs, and opinion places…every day. A whole lot of WTF goes on. And who do you believe, when you weren’t there? And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done interviews that the end result was NOT what I had said. There were reasons why military leaders in the past (Patton, Sherman, et al) distrusted/despised the press…just as there were reasons some sucked up to the press (Custer. Sickles, et al).
Wonder how many of these that were run off had received a chunk of that USAID $ that is reported the news groups were getting? Hmmm
