The New York Times sued the Defense Department on Monday for the second time in five months, arguing that a requirement that journalists be escorted while on Pentagon grounds violates the First Amendment.
The escort policy is “an unconstitutional attempt by the Pentagon to prevent independent reporting on military affairs,” a Times spokesman, Charlie Stadtlander, said in an email to The Associated Press.
“As we have said before: Americans deserve visibility into how their government is being run, and the actions the military is taking in their name and with their tax dollars.”
The Capitalist media doesn’t like the fascism it did nothing to stop, and encouraged forms of most of its existence.
NYT: Why we can only ever trust neoliberal Capitalism and the meritocracy of the billionaire ruling class (eg. Our owners).
