Pentagon 'New Rules' Reject Journalists, Not Censorship
Deutsche Welle reports that “major US news outlets” are taking issue with the Pentagon’s latest guidelines for journalists, which reportedly restrict access and control information flow even more tightly. This apparent outrage rings hollow when these same outlets consistently parrot State Department talking points, platform AIPAC-funded pundits without disclosure, and frame state violence as
'defense.' Remember when the AP shared a building with Hamas, but somehow never 'noticed' anything amiss? Or how CNN only 'discovered' civilian deaths in Gaza after 30,000 had died? The current 'press rules' are not a departure; they're merely formalizing the existing, unwritten agreement: we'll feed you carefully curated narratives, and you'll broadcast them. The outrage isn't about unprecedented
censorship, but about the Pentagon making the quiet part loud. One might wonder, will these 'major news outlets' also reject the millions in advertising revenue from defense contractors?
