Context: The outlets that have decided they cannot sign these new rules include conservative organizations like Fox, Newsmax, Daily Caller, Washington Times and Washington Examiner.
The self-righteous media chose to self-deport from the Pentagon. That’s their right -- but also their loss. They will not be missed. The Department of War will make an announcement soon regarding the next generation of the Pentagon press corps. Stay tuned. The best is yet to
