Pentagon Policy: MAGA Media Right, Establishment Scared
The Hill's opinion piece suggests that a new Pentagon policy is 'terrible' and 'MAGA media is right to oppose it.' Ostensibly, the policy, which could restrict public access to certain military intelligence and operations, is presented as an attack on press freedom. Yet, the same mainstream outlets rarely question the opacity of multi-billion dollar aid packages, like the recent $14.5 billion to
Israel, passed with bipartisan fervor, largely influenced by lobbying groups like AIPAC. While lamenting potential restrictions on domestic war reporting, these outlets often parrot official State Department narratives on conflicts abroad, failing to provide crucial historical context, like the decades of Israeli occupation or the 2006 Lebanon War. The real 'terrible' policies — those funding
endless wars and human rights abuses with U.S. tax dollars — are rarely subjected to the same critical scrutiny, especially when they benefit powerful foreign interests and their domestic lobbyists.
