After the recent departure of Pentagon reporters due to their refusal to agree to a new set of restrictive policies, the defense department has announced a “next generation of the Pentagon press corps” featuring 60 journalists from far-right outlets, many of which have promoted conspiracy theories.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell posted the news on X but did not provide any names.

The Washington Post, however, obtained a draft of the announcement, which stated that the new reporters, who agreed to the department’s new policies, were from outlets such as Lindell TV, started by Trump ally Mike Lindell; the Gateway Pundit; the Post Millennial; Human Events; and the National Pulse.

The list also includes Turning Point USA’s media brand Frontlines, influencer Tim Pool’s Timcast and a Substack-based newsletter called Washington Reporter, the Post reported.

Just what Kegbreath wants, a right-wing circle jerk.

1. Pete always lies. RW media always lie.

Trump always lies. Why do reporters even show up? By reporting, they spread lies.

Analysis is what's needed, but it requires factual information to be more than a parrot.

And where does one get that?

3. This was their plan all along. They just needed to make them quit so they asked for the unaskable.

They were planning on getting rid of all non regime media like in Russia and Hungary. Even Fox and NewsMax are still independent of the regime. Can't allow that.
