In Washington today, the Pentagon revealed it has formed a revamped press corps made up of more than 60 journalists who have agreed to a new access policy, marking a major shift in how the military covers itself.
The change follows the departure of many legacy media outlets – including The New York Times, CNN and The Washington Post – that refused to sign on to stricter rules limiting the pursuit of information, even unclassified.
In the Pentagon’s announcement, spokesman Sean Parnell described the new group as a “broad spectrum of new media outlets and independent journalists,” and singled out some familiar names, including: LindellTV (founded by MyPillow’s Mike Lindell), Gateway Pundit, Human Events, National Pulse and influencer Tim Pool’s Timcast.
Critics say this overhaul undermines press freedom and reduces transparency. Media groups warn the new access rules could stifle reporting—they argue that the policy limits what journalists can ask or cover.
In plain terms: the Pentagon is changing who gets to ask questions—and how—inside its walls. Whether this marks a fresh start or a further narrowing of press access is now part of a broader national debate.
