"Over at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared that you should only know what he wants you to know about the military. So he demanded that press people sign a document limiting their reporting to only the news the Defense Department hands out. If reporters refused? Their press credentials were revoked, and they were kicked out of the Pentagon building. Just one signed - One America News Network, which happens to be a fan of Donald Trump. Even Fox and Newsmax."
"Even Fox and Newsmax. Then there's the news coming out of the Oval Office. A lot of it is pretty twisted, and when the press reports something the commander-in-chief doesn't like, it's labeled "fake news." And lest we forget, the Associated Press is barred from the White House briefing room because editors there wouldn't call the Gulf of Mexico Trump's Gulf of America."
Government officials and agencies are restricting information flow by limiting press access and encrypting local police radio transmissions. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth required journalists to sign agreements to report only Defense Department releases, revoking press credentials and excluding outlets that refused. The White House has labeled unfavorable reporting "fake news" and barred the Associated Press from briefings over naming disputes. New York City officials encrypted Staten Island and citywide NYPD radio channels, cutting off public police scanner access to curb criminal monitoring. Local reporters relied on radio chatter to report neighborhood crime, and the shutdown diminished public awareness of local safety incidents.
