Trump administration 2024-2028


So news orgs wont be going along…
You can still have leaks without reporters in the building itself.

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 ... 🍿

I'm no expert but isn't a 'free press' hindered by signing NDAs?

I guess that's the idea though, of course...

Me neither, but I agree. I think that's part of the point the Pentagon press saying "no, thanks" is trying to make.

You can't blame people for thinking that when we see this kind of stuff, for sure.
 
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.

So you are saying this is Fake News? Because it is critical of the current regime?

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.

They aren't taking their opinion and going another way (which is fine) they are straight up bypassing them and ignoring them, despite it being right in their wheelhouse as the lawyers that would actually have to defend any lawsuits.

Most US senior officers I've met have been very conservative people (with a small 'c'), and they are hardly the lone voice saying a lot of these things could be illegal and leave them open to lawsuits. Listening to them and maybe adjusting the approach could help actually do what they want, but all indications are that they want to stick with echo chamber syncophants. Works out great for Trump, when you see how many of his lawyers need lawyers and have gotten disbarred and sued into oblivion.
