The Trump administration program to shake up media representation during official information and press calls to Washington should affect the Pentagon, the accredited media being filmed by the workspaces allocated for new arrivals from the media.
The American news network, the curator, should replace NBC News, Breitbart will receive a space organized by national public radio, the New York Post has been offered to the New York Times, the workspace and the HuffPost will replace politico.
The changes should take place on February 14 in what the Pentagon calls a new “annual media rotation program”, according to an internal note seen by CNN.
The movements are largely symbolic because the points of sale do not lose access to the briefings of the Pentagon, but comply with the plans of the Trump administration to mix the access of the traditional media with a cohort of non -traditional media, including podcasters, bloggers and tiktkers.
Friday, the white house press secretary Karoline Leavitt asked the question of opening to John Ashbrook, animator of the ruthless podcast, whom Leavitt described as one of the most influential podcasts in the United States.
The press secretary said that the White House had been flooded with more than 10,000 requests for the new “new media” headquarters in the Blanche Importu.
Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Ulyot said in a note from the Pentagon Press Association memo that the change at the headquarters of the Defense Department “would expand access to the limited space of the correspondents corridor to the points of Sale which had not previously played the privileges and journalistic value of work of work of work of work of work of work of work of work of the physical office space in the Pentagon ”.
However, one of the newly favored points of sale, HuffPost, formerly Huffington Post, has no Pentagon correspondent.
“If the Trump administration and the Secretary Hegseth are interested in a more impactful coverage of their stewardship from the Ministry of Defense from Huffpost, we are ready to deliver,” said a spokesperson for the point of sale in CNN.
NBC News said it was “disappointed by the decision to refuse us access to a Pentagon broadcasting stand that we have used for many decades” and said it would continue to report to the same integrity And the same rigor “as always.
The NPR NPR of the national radio partially funded said that it would continue to relate to Vigorat and integrity on the transformation that this administration had promised to deliver “and urged the Pentagon” to extend the offices available to put pressure in the Building so that all points of sale covering the points covering the points covering the points covering the points The Pentagon receives equal access ”.
Kevin Baron, a former vice-president of the Pentagon Press Association, called the changes “the erasure of journalism at the Pentagon” in a series of messages on X.
Baron said that existing outlets were “replaced by false supporters like Breitbart, Oann and Ny Post. And Huffpo (are they still?) For a false balance. Trump / Maga fascist control of the media coverage of the diet continues. »»
