Pentagon Policy Sparks Outcry

Journalists from The Washington Post, New York Times, and Newsmax refused to sign the Department of Defense's new press policy.
The policy requires credentialed reporters to pledge not to solicit or publish unclassified information without explicit authorization.
Conservative network Newsmax, aligned with President Donald Trump, refused to sign and confirmed CEO Chris Ruddy's stance.
Outlets like The Washington Post and New York Times called the policy unnecessary and onerous.
Online commentators, including Mike Rothschild, labeled the policy too authoritarian.
