Pentagon press corps gets a right-wing makeover

Well, for some of the president's, you know, strongest fans, these might be familiar names and people to whom they tune for information. For others, they may know them only through headlines and lawsuits. If you take a couple of them, think of Gateway Pundit or Lindell TV, founded by the MyPillow guy, Mike Lindell. Both Lindell and Gateway Pundit were successfully sued for defamation over claims they made supporting President Trump's lies about the 2020 race. Tim Pool is a podcaster. His outlet is among those credentialed. He was found to have - he said unknowingly, but nonetheless - accepted money on behalf of Russian state media. These aren't paragons of independent, hard-hitting journalism from at least a conventional standpoint. Others include The Federalist, Just The News, One America News Network - resolute supporters of the president in what they put out.
