Only one news outlet has signed on to Hegseth's media loyalty oath - even Trump-mouthpiece Newsmax balked

In fact, amid the continued backlash against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new rules - which the Pentagon Press Association called an "unprecedented message of intimidation" - only one media organization has agreed to sign the letter: Trump-boosting channel One America News.

Late last month, the Department of Defense - which the Trump administration recently rebranded as the War Department - announced that it was imposing severe restrictions on reporters covering the Pentagon, including requiring them to cease gathering any information that the department hadn't already cleared. Hegseth declared that any journalist who didn't sign the pledge would have their press credentials revoked.

Following intense outrage from free press advocacy groups and media outlets, with the National Press Club saying the new policy "should alarm every American," the Pentagon released a revised agreement last week.

It is absolutely insane. WHAT THE FUCK?

It was fun while it lasted.

...right-wing cable channel Newsmax surprisingly declared that it would also refuse to sign the new agreement, calling the policy "unnecessary and onerous."


Man, when even "newsmax" says no...

Chalk up another fail for Pete Hairline.

We have certain things in common Jeffrey..

Faux is expected to refuse. I think OAN is the only one's stupid enough to go along with this BULLSHIT.

It was fun while it lasted.

You can bet OAN will jump on this bandwagon once it's becomes very clear that it requires no courage or spine. That will happen once everyone else pushes back. Fox must be careful not to anger their former employee.
