On February 3rd, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about changes being made in the Pentagon office space designated for news organizations.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has ordered four left-leaning news organizations including the New York Times<\/a> and NBC News to vacate<\/a> their dedicated office space at the Pentagon, making room for new media outlets such as The Post and the right-leaning Breitbart News and One America News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The decision was announced late Friday in a Department of Defense memo issued by spokesman John Ullyot, who wrote that the Times, NBC News, NPR and Politico must relinquish their Pentagon office space by Feb. 14.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Ullyot, the move is part of a new annual media rotation program designed to allow access by \u201ca new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon press corps.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of this reshuffle, The Post will replace the Times <\/a>as a print outlet, OAN will take NBC News\u2019 spot as a cable network, Breitbart News will assume NPR\u2019s role as a radio outlet and HuffPost, owned by BuzzFeed, will take Politico\u2019s space.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reaction is predictable:<\/p>\n

She urged the Pentagon to expand media office space to ensure equal access for all news organizations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other affected outlets voiced similar concerns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Politico\u2019s senior managing editor Anita Kumar called the decision \u201ctroubling,\u201d while an NBC News spokesman expressed disappointment over losing a broadcasting booth <\/a>that had been in use for decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where were the complaints when the organizations now given space didn’t have space?<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The reshuffling of Pentagon media access marks another chapter in the Trump administration\u2019s strained relationship with the press.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With accusations of press favoritism and concerns over media transparency mounting, the decision is likely to fuel further debate over the role of independent journalism in government reporting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the reporting of the news organizations that lost their space had been accurate, they would still have their space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
