I continue to believe that policing your own side is in many ways more important than policing your enemies. Dismissing and excusing repulsive behavior by your friends is a terrible way to keep the moral high ground.

Hegseth's 17 pages of new rules for media in the Pentagon are a mistake and upend over 80 years of American norms. The wide range of outlets refusing these rules - from the Washington Post to Newsmax and The Hill - show how indefensible these new rules are.

Virtually every news outlet rejects Hegseth’s Pentagon press rules https://t.co/xvmpBZNZna

Cannot wait to read the new one by @jaketapper!

ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox: “Today, we join virtually every other news organization in declining to agree to the Pentagon’s new requirements, which would restrict journalists’ ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues. The policy is

Virtually every news outlet is rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign the Pentagon's restrictive new press rules, including Newsmax, which said in a statement, “We believe the requirements are unnecessary and onerous and hope that the Pentagon with review the
