Department of Defense loses! The "fake journalists" of the New York Times can now resume their jobs!
Last year, the Department of Defense issued new regulations requiring media reporters stationed at the Pentagon to sign a "consent form":
Prohibiting the release of unauthorized information,
No entry into the Pentagon area without military escort,
The Secretary of Defense can unilaterally revoke press credentials.
As a result, more than 30 mainstream media outlets (including the New York Times, CNN, Associated Press, Reuters, etc.) collectively refused to sign, and more than 70 journalists were expelled from the Pentagon.
The New York Times then sued the Pentagon, and the verdict was released on March 20:
1. Unconstitutional in entirety: The Pentagon's new regulations violate the First and Fifth Amendments, and are permanently prohibited from implementation.
2. Immediate restoration: The press credentials of seven New York Times journalists at the Pentagon will be restored immediately.
3. No discrimination: The Department of Defense may not discriminate or revoke any media's press credentials based on reporting positions.
4. Due process: In the future, revoking press credentials must have written reasons, a hearing, and the right to appeal.
Trump's "fake journalists" can now officially return to work!
