AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptorPentagon bans press photographers over ‘unflattering’ photos of Hegseth: report
This is a lot more serious than the headline…
Photographs from the briefings are immediately released online for the public and press to use. If that hurts the business model for certain news outlets, then they should consider applying for a Pentagon press credential,” Wilson wrote.
Last year, the Pentagon implemented a new rule for media that required credentialed outlets to agree to a new policy that states reporters cannot gather or publish information from the Defense Department that is not explicitly authorized.
That includes declassified information or off-the-record conversations, no matter where the information was obtained.
Many mainstream media outlets refused to sign the agreement, finding the new rules oppressive. As a result, major broadcasters such as Fox News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News; legacy newspapers such as the Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal; and other outlets lost their Pentagon press credentials.

MarshezezzAnother first amendment violation!
radix“It’s been 0 days since this administration violated someone’s rights.”
The “0” is just written in ink. It has not changed, and never will.
They know, and they don’t care and furthermore they ask you the people “what are you gonna do about it?”
This regime is just WAITING for citizens to step up. They are itching to initiate martial law and the insurrection act now more than ever.
Trump is a deep cover leftist. He’s trying to get people and the system as a whole to stand up and tighten the system and show why right wing policies and authoritarian policies are bad. But no one is stepping up!
I really want to start planting this idea in conservative spaces.
That is not a question you should ask with this administration, because the answer is always yes.
There is always a bigger cunt. They invented the male camel toe.
The problem with taking good photos of Pete Hegseth is that, no matter what, it’s still a photo of Pete Hegseth.
paraphrandThe vanity fair photos are still the best worst photos of the current admin.
DarkFutureWhen preteens run a nation with the most powerful military on the planet.
Thanks conservatives. You really do vote for people you identify with.
You heard the secretary, plaster unflattering photos of him all around meatspace
Sundray
SkullgridOh wonderful, that means we will never see photos of him again!
Next up, Hegseth’s mother makes a scene and calls the principal because some mean journalist did their job
AHAHAHAHA
Now they’ll have no choice but to reuse all the unflattering photos they already took.
5D chess…
Yes. Streisand the fuck out of this.
Unflattering photos in the press is part of being a public servant douchebag.
he should be thrilled they took pictures of his, standing, clothed and not face first in a puddle of his own piss, spilled booze and vomit.
It probably is just a matter of time before he gets the Jenna Bush treatment.
xerxes
DevolutionWhat a snowflake pussy.
What a pussy
kurmudgeonWhat a collosal pussy. All armed service members should be absolutely ashamed to be following such a shallow, childish, vain, poor excuse of a man. You would sacrifice your life on the whims of this douchebag?
I feel ashamed about signing up 20 years ago, and every one of us who’ve done so should be sighting in rifle sights again.
WesDym@kurmudgeon I'm going to need to see these photos, in order to weight my own assessment.
DeuxChevauxYou can put lipstick on a pig. However, in the end it’s still lipstick.
ordnance_qf_17_pounderIs this the “warrior ethos”? Lmao
Possibly linuxSounds kind of woke
You know the internet is now gonna be flooded with a ton of ugly photos of him.
He’s an evil Nazi looking pos.
This is what peak male performance looks like
@Avicenna That's taking a gentle hand to him. The man is clearly unwell, mentally and emotionally, and probably needs professional help. Just the way he stands is weird and suggests he's got a screw loose. Being insecure and obsessed with image are the least of his many personal problems.
lechekaflanStreisand that REMF.
