The X post reports a joint statement from ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, and NBC News rejecting Pentagon rules that end free roaming, mandate visible badges, and prohibit soliciting unauthorized information, citing risks to press freedom and public oversight of national security.
Announced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on October 13, 2025, the policy aligns Pentagon access with other U.S. military sites but breaks decades of precedent, aiming to curb leaks amid heightened scrutiny of "fake news" in the Trump administration.
This rare bipartisan media pushback—uniting even conservative Fox with liberal outlets, while only Newsmax complies—highlights tensions between operational security and First Amendment protections, with over 20 organizations declining per Reuters reporting.
