Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

They lost in court and are appealing. I doubt they'll win, but still ignore. The cross-post has a lot more info.
A judge last week struck down the Pentagon’s restrictions on journalists seeking “unauthorized” information, siding with the New York Times in its lawsuit against the government. In response, the Pentagon on Monday added some meaningless window dressing and essentially reissued the same restrictions. The administration pledged to “immediately” appeal the decision on the original policy, and on Tuesday, the Times filed a motion to compel the administration to comply with the judge’s order.
"Do you have a plan for the war in Iran, sir?"
"TAKE HER STRAIGHT TO JAIL!"
America, everyone. The place I was born... Without choosing, to be clear.
Is this the so called "Land of the free"?
You're missing the asterisk with a footnote saying, "If you're a rich white male."
Yes, it is the country with the 5th highest incarceration rate on the planet, and the ~~second~~ highest total prison population

"They're Free to ask the right questions!!!"
The first amendment doesn't allow this.
The first amendment is just (on) a piece of paper. Will it be enforced against a constitution breaking executive? That is the question.
I'm sure they'll send a strongly worded letter.
Checkmate, fascists!
All fine and dendy, but they just won't invite you to the next press conference anymore.
To be frank, I wasn't being invited before.
Probably because you're to frank.
It also says that Congress must declare war. And yet three thousand people are already dead. And 50,000 are injured.
Freedom ~~of speech~~ to write what we tell you.
This isn't even about what they write. They're trying to stop press from even asking questions they don't want asked. They could just refuse to answer, but apparently that's not enough.
but they will glady have RT news crew, oan, fox, NEWSMAX there.
The whole Trump admin should be sentenced to execution for high treason
Can you imagine how long the line would be of people volunteering for that job?
Would cross the Atlantic

You’re pretty lucky that didn’t have a question mark at the end or you’d be in big trouble.
The fact that we are unsure whether the highest court in the land will defend the constitution from these fragrantly illegal policies, is insane.
There is a guy at work that was trying to say that the west defeated fascism. That it was no longer a thing. A regime by any other name would smell just as rancid. Useful traitors for the regime.
Edit: Leaving the typo, it’s a funny joke.
Flagrantly
They stink too.

Yeah, I’m gonna leave it as is 😬
There is a guy at work that was trying to say that the west defeated fascism.
You should remind him that the west literally invented fascism, and that it never went away.
It's OK to kill a fascist.
its a duty to.
Goddamn snowflakes can’t actually answer a difficult or uncomfortable question because it might hurt their feefees.
They have a press corp that could hardly be any more compliant as it is.
Not really related to this article but I absolutely despise the penchant for the right to refuse to allow journalists they don't like to attend press conferences.
The snowflakes were the fascists we made along the way.
It's not just a penchant. It's a play book move in converting a democratic state to a fascist one. Don't be fooled into thinking this is all just social anxiety and tantrums.
"Why is your boss being a paedophile not a problem for you? Is it something you admire?"
I miss so much democracy in America.
You never had it. You had one party system with two parties.
Not only are these dumb fucks villains they don't even understand how cartoonishly villainous they look
Maybe they do - which is why W and Trump got re-elected.

Doesn’t matter, we don’t have a true fourth estate.
First amendment authorizes all questions.

"Please submit all questions for authorisation 24 hours prior to the press conference.
Any person asking a non-approved question will be subject to extraordinary rendition."
This isn't how mainstream media works. Not just any reporter can get in the White House press briefing and ask questions. They've been filtered long before they got there. This isn't new to the Trump regime.
Nazis should have no rights.
