You can still have leaks without reporters in the building itself.![]()
New York Times, AP, Newsmax among news outlets who say they won’t sign new Pentagon rules
News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a U.S. Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon.www.ctvnews.ca

Now, if ALL reporters covering U.S. politics had to sign NDA's - but how likely is that, right? Not on my bingo card, but a lot of what's happened since inauguration weren't, either, so ...![]()
Me neither, but I agree. I think that's part of the point the Pentagon press saying "no, thanks" is trying to make.I'm no expert but isn't a 'free press' hindered by signing NDAs?
You can't blame people for thinking that when we see this kind of stuff, for sure.I guess that's the idea though, of course...
When you view your JAG lawyers with significant experience within DoD and relevant legislation as 'roadblocks to progress', odds are good you are going something really stupid and ignoring people trying to keep you from breaking the law.A worrisome state of affairs

So you are saying this is Fake News? Because it is critical of the current regime?Meh, I've seen JAG lawyers RTU'd from theatre due to performance - obviously not the same scale as the above. There are probably divided legal opinions on the subject conveniently omitted. CNN does negatively sensationalize everything the 47 administration does.
Did you actually read the story, or just decide to chuck stones at a whole profession based on your isolated incidents? Lots of people get RTUd, and sometimes doing your job properly by giving an honest opinion makes you unpopular with operators.Meh, I've seen JAG lawyers RTU'd from theatre due to performance - obviously not the same scale as the above.
