"A spokesperson for the New York Times said the move to expel the paper and other independent news outlets from the Pentagon's press spaces was "a concerning development".
"The Department of Defense has the largest discretionary budget in the government, millions of Americans in uniform under its direction and control of a vast arsenal funded by taxpayers.
The Times is committed to covering the Pentagon fully and fairly. Steps designed to impede access are clearly not in the public interest," the paper added in an email statement.
"Kevin Baron, a former vice-president of the Pentagon Press Association, called the changes "the erasure of journalism at the Pentagon" in a series of posts on X.
Baron said the existing outlets were being
"replaced with fake news partisans like Breitbart, OANN, and NY Post.
And HuffPo (they still exist?) for fake balance. Trump/MAGA's fascist takeover of media coverage of the regime continues."

We should only get Trump's version of the news, and from the outlets that he approves of.
Trump always made it clear what kind of government he was going to deliver. And that's what our voters selected.

Censoring the media.
You really should read the articles before p*****g in the wind. Rotating office space in the Pentagon is not censorship. As the article states: "The moves are largely symbolic as outlets are not losing access to Pentagon briefings, but are in keeping with the Trump administration's plans to mix the access of traditional news outlets with a cohort of non-traditional news outlets, including podcasters, bloggers and TikTokers."

Good news is that they didn't lose their press passes. Bad news is that their reporting will be less timely due to office space availability being cut .

Living in the NYC media area, I heard about [citizen] Trump back in the late 1980's.
But it wasn't until the 1990's that I started to develop an opinion on him.
In search of, requiring?, unfettered adulation?
Yeah, the opinion of him I formed in the 1990's still holds.
There are other aspects of my opinion besides that one, fwiw.
That aside, is this latest move by him "nothing?"
I remain to be convinced of that.
It may not be censorship but imo, it definitely is not "nothing."

The media purposely eliminated and minimized all public comment from their " news" when Trump came on the scene in the . All news organizations not that long ago encouraged and offered direct public comment. Huffington and NYT and WAPO etc allowed the public to comment on news. Then they started censoring as did TWITTER. Censorship wrongly gave the media and left political and biased power.

"Almost all "news" sources were left leaning." Who's fault is it that republicans have gone so far to the "right" that reality now has a "left leaning bias". Attacking the Free Press or prohibiting the free exercise of it is not the answer you are looking for. In fact it's unconstitutional.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The news media cratered their own credibility and it is 100% on them.
I don't know why you are turning to make excuses for it. I guess it's a lefty thing of refusing to take ownership and responsibility for one's own actions.
My guess is the root of the problem starts with journalism schools. What we are seeing isn't traditional journalism. And that's why trust is at all time low. They sacrificed standards and their own credibility to pursue a broad political and cultural agenda. Legacy media is dying and it's become a long, drawn-out suicide.

The root of the problem is russian/fascist propaganda - intended to erode trust in the press so that fascists can commit crimes and atrocities and have people dismiss it as fake news.
The first thing trump did in his first term was to attack the press. In sports its called "working the refs".

" Biden was flying in 100,000 illegal immigrants." - Clownshart
Um ... .
" WASHINGTON, D.C. " Today, the House Committee on Homeland Security revealed documents obtained through a subpoena of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that identified over 50 airport locations, including our nation's capital, used by DHS to help process into the country more than 400,000 inadmissible aliens through the administration's unlawful Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan (CHNV) mass-parole program. The program was officially launched in January 2023, and the documents obtained by the Committee cover the period from January-August 2023"accounting for roughly 200,000 of these individuals."

" BullBringer gets his news from sources that tell him Biden's presidency was Obama's 3rd term and Biden was flying in 100,000 illegal immigrants."
It's become increasingly clear as more and more trickles out that Biden wasn't calling the shots. On a day to day basis it must have been a small cadre of his inner circle. From a broader policy perspective my guess is Obama was setting the agenda and was using someone like Susan Rice to communicate it. Once his kids were off to college he bucked tradition and maintained his DC residence for a reason.

Check your sources, Laura Mohr.
"T he Trump administration is preparing to revoke the legal status of many of the migrants who were allowed to come to the U.S. legally from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela under former President Joe Biden, according to internal government documents reviewed by CBS News.
The proposal by the Department of Homeland Security, spelled out in an unpublished notice, would fully terminate a Biden administration program that allowed more than 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to fly to the U.S. if American sponsors agreed to help them financially.
The Biden administration argued the policy, known as CHNV, discouraged illegal immigration by people from these four Latin American countries by offering them legal means to come to the U.S., but President Trump froze the initiative hours after being inaugurated. Trump officials have specifically argued the program was a misuse of immigration parole, the legal authority which the Biden administration used to admit those under the sponsorship initiative, and to allow them to apply for work permits."
