I am laughing. Bwa ha ha! Journalists aka The Media are crying. Boo hoo hoo. Let me laugh some more. Bwa ha ha! The crybabies have been petulant ever since Donald Trump was elected. The Pentagon/Department of War has fixed them. Cry to a judge some more and see if Secretary of War can’t find you more to cry about. This is one of the days that is so good for the soul.

We NEED the media or we would never know what or how to think. They tell us that constantly. When the Pentagon laid out rules for the journos, they pounded their little fists and kicked their little feet. Our Nina wrote a stellar article “Media To Pentagon: We Demand Right To Leak Classified Intel!”. If you didn’t read it then, read it now. I will wait. Not leaking classified intelligence seems basic to me for citizens of the United States.

The New York Times states that my form of “news gathering is ostensibly prohibited by Pentagon policy”

LIES.

Pentagon press-policy does not ban recording or interviewing a Pentagon employee or official outside the Pentagon. (e.g. in a restaurant). https://t.co/x4c1mKY97I

Even more adorably funny were the conniption fits the journalists threw when The Pentagon under Secretary of War invited in new media and didn’t give the old media their coveted Front Row Seats. For instance, Jennifer Griffin:

Jennifer Griffin was visibly salty this morning on Fox—mad she got stuck in the back row at the Pentagon briefing, wasn’t called on, and cameras hid the press corps. She whined about it on air, then aired her snarky “questions she would’ve asked” to undermine Hegseth and the Iran… pic.twitter.com/Rbam2jQWEq

The media and their on call attorneys filed suit kvetching about the {{outrageous}} new rules. The Jens and other Pentagon correspondents were super happy when a Judge found in their favor regarding the new journo rules at the Department of War. From the AP:

The U.S. Defense Department will issue new press credentials but remove media offices from the Pentagon after a judge sided with The New York Times in a lawsuit regarding limits on reporters’ access to the building, a department official announced Monday.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the agency disagrees with the ruling and will appeal. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C., last week sided with the newspaper and ruled that the Pentagon’s new policy illegally restricts the press credentials of reporters who walked out of the building rather than agree to the new rules.

The writer, Jonathan Cooper, will not call it the Department of War. He is holding on to the Department of Defense. In the meantime:

More from the AP:

Parnell said the reporters will be able to work from an “annex” that will be on the Pentagon grounds but outside the building. He said the new facility “will be available when ready” but did not say how long that would take.

Journalists will still have access to the Pentagon for press conferences and interviews arranged through the department’s public affairs team, but they will have to be escorted, Parnell wrote on X.

The Times sued the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in December, claiming the credentialing policy violates the journalists’ constitutional rights to free speech and due process.

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C., last week sided with the newspaper. He ordered the Pentagon to reinstate the press credentials of seven Times journalists and struck down some of the agency’s restrictions on news reporting.

Friedman said the “undisputed evidence” shows that the policy is designed to weed out “disfavored journalists” and replace them with those who are “on board and willing to serve” the government, a clear instance of illegal viewpoint discrimination.

Or the rules were meant to protect the lives of our troops. Not that the judge would care about them. Lying Jen Psaki blathered on last night:

Speaking of free and fair access by the media to our newsmakers:

I love, love, love putting journalists outside of The Pentagon and escorting them into where they need to go. More of this please, Secretary of War Hegseth.
