Newsmax has declined to sign the Pentagon’s revised media credentialing agreement, becoming the first major outlet to publicly reject the Defense Department’s new restrictions on press access, CBS News’ Jim LaPorta reports.
The Pentagon Press Association confirmed Wednesday that negotiations over the policy have stalled, warning that the rules could undermine press freedom and expose journalists to legal risk.
Okay I re-read it and I still don’t understand why you made a point about security clearance in reference to press credentialing. How many more times should I re read it before it’s okay to ask you to explain it further?
Assume that I am frustratingly stupid.
I didn’t make a point about security clearances regarding the press?
I was referencing security clearances for military personnel.
Security clearances aren’t a joke, you can go break big rocks into little rocks at Leavenworth for violating what you agreed to.
Okay, so as I suspected you made a point about security clearance for no coherent reason since it has precisely fuck all to do with this story. But you know they aren’t a joke so that is pretty cool. Glad I pursued this.
Nope, I literally was consistent from the start, you just didn’t understand my argument.
Military personnel arr expected, and obligated by law, to not “leak shit”.
There’s nothing about this order that’s crazy. Pretty common sense shit.
You have been consistent from the start but that isn’t something I would brag about if I were you. You haven’t made any kind of argument - even at this late and belabored stage - because you likely are not capable of forming one. It’s how I know to block you after this, because parsing your ‘arguments’ is literally not worth the calories.
The press are not military personnel. I wish you the best of luck in stringing two thoughts together in the future but I won’t be checking in.
“Press are not military personnel”
Correct and I’ve never said otherwise.
