Going forward, journalists must sign a pledge not to gather any information, including unclassified reports, that hasn’t been authorized for release.
Why even bother allowing journalists to come at all when they are just told what to ask/report? It’s like a tv show where the crowd is fed questions to ask the host beforehand.
It’s amazing what passes for journalism these days.
It’s like this in every part of journalism. People just parrot whatever the police chief says, the tech CEO says, and the press release says. It’s getting to the point now where you cannot even get an honest journalistic review of any product, and each major product launch is reported on the national news and sometimes repeated on the local news as if that’s anything but just free marketing for the corporation releasing the product.
We blurred all the lines together to the point where now the media is just a marketing and propaganda arm of whatever they are covering.
That’s called censorship

And Geedubz for 8 more. And Bush the 1. And Ronnie Raygun.
Shit, they got so thouroughly pwned after 9/11, I noped out then.
I mean, it’s all you get in a small town, but it hasn’t been really left in forever and a day.

hahahahaha
Most journalists get into the profession to be investigative journalists and break open huge stories like Watergate. They don’t get into the field to be secretaries and take dictation, now replacable with AI speech to text.
If they comply to this request, they might as well quit their jobs.
