This is historic. Nearly the entire legacy media had to turn in their press badges today, and were denied entry to the Pentagon. Bye now!
One exception I know of is One America News Network (OANN). They signed the agreement. We can get all our Pentagon news from them.
“Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution,” the Pentagon Press Association said.
The Pentagon is restoring security and proper decorum.They aren’t criminalizing anything that wasn’t already criminalized, like leaks and giving away secret information.
Pete Hegseth just did something HISTORIC:
He made the media stop infiltrating the Pentagon VOLUNTARILY… BYE BYE

Potato is upset. Will anyone miss these people who smear, slime and lie?
Butt hurt Pentagon journalists are turning in their press passes because they don’t like Pete Hegseth’s new rules.
I think this is actually a great idea.
Sweep out the fake news and bring
in real journalists who will report truth.— Farm Girl Carrie (@FarmGirlCarrie) October 15, 2025
This has to be one of the funniest stories ever, “Pete we are going to protest your rules by doing exactly what you want us to do, leaving! So there!!!” Loved the portly guy who looked like a lost puppy wondering “What’s going on?” …and the lemmings head for the sea.
The same snakes will come slithering back.
They do really think they’re American royalty…..Good riddance. Will be nice to get information not filtered through their bias and anti-Americanism.
Good! I like OANN news and watch them frequently. When they get all the breaking news their ratings will skyrocket leaving the lame stream media in the dust.
I would not grant a press pass, nor even a confidential level security clearance to 95% of the media. But then, I would not grant any level of security clearance to any Democrat or even most Republicans in congress.
China just lost some of their favorite spies.
