And so it begins - Trump's attacks on the media - Poynter
Briefly

Following Donald Trump's election for a second term, there are growing concerns over his administration's intentions towards the media. The Pentagon recently announced an annual media rotation program, which resulted in several critical news organizations—NBC News, The New York Times, NPR, and Politico—being removed from their dedicated spaces, while pro-Trump outlets like OAN and Breitbart were allowed access. This action, led by new Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, appears to reflect an effort to control media narratives and silence dissent in the press, rather than a commitment to fairness in press representation.
The Pentagon's annual media rotation program is seen as an attempt to control the narrative by favoring pro-Trump outlets while sidelining traditional, critical media.
This isn't about fairness; it's about the administration wanting media that supports their agenda, reflecting a broader intent to stifle dissenting voices.
