PPA Oct.15, 2025 STATEMENT

Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution. The Pentagon Press Association’s members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

What figures did the NYT research with the Israeli authorities reveal ?(journalism basics)

“More than 300 of Gaza’s health workers are in Israeli detention, the enclave’s health ministry says, while others have been detained for a time and then released. And according to the World Health Organization, 500 have been killed in the war, out of a prewar total of about 20,000.“

Rebecca Solnit:

"The GOP ticket of JD Vance and Donald Trump, from ‘menstrual surveillance’ to sexual assault, has made itself clear"

"The Republican party of the United States remains the party of denying women fundamental human rights. The US press as a whole remains the instrument of softening up or ignoring this reality."

Just so we're clear, #WSJ, who sees fit to run a piece on how old & problematic Joe Biden is as if it's a major issue & revelation, has seemingly NEVER published a single article about TFG being problematic in any way.

This is not journalism - it's propaganda. Deliberate or not, doesn't really matter, does it?
