... The new rules forbid reporters from going into the hallway where Hegseth's office is located "without an official approval and escort from the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs" -- a job held by top Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.

If reporters wish to visit the public affairs offices of any of the other services, "they are required to be formally escorted to and from those respective offices," the memo adds. The Pentagon will also require reporters to sign a document pledging to protect "sensitive information," likely setting up situations where unfavorable reporting involving documents could be used as pretense to strip journalists of access to the building. ...

It looks like Sec Hegseth has said to Journalists: if you say something bad about me, you will no longer be able to report from the Pentagon.

Similar to what Pres Trump has done with the White House Press.

Transparency?

@#3

Yeah, there's that.

Has Sec Hegseth voluntarily submitted himself to medical tests to show he has not imbibed alcohol since he took office?

Or are we just to trust what he says?

Another view ...

@#5

Why are there leaks?

Are the leaks correct or incorrect?

@#7 ... NO THAT'S BS.

he's restricting access to anything a leftist leftover
can give to the media.....anonymously, of course. ...

Why is it BS?

And why does your current alias think that the only people in the Pentagon who talk with the media are leftists?

Is that an implication saying that you have to be in the Trump cult, professing adulation to Pres Trump instead of the Constitution, otherwise you are a leftist?

Serious question.
