Summary

The Pentagon announced a new annual media rotation program, removing established outlets like NBC News, The New York Times, NPR, and Politico from dedicated workspaces.

The memo orders these organizations to vacate their offices in two weeks, while replacing them with outlets such as OANN, New York Post, Breitbart, and HuffPost.

NBC News expressed disappointment over losing long-held technical capabilities essential for timely reporting.

The move follows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s narrow confirmation and signals a broader effort to reshape Pentagon media access, transforming U.S. government communications permanently.

    This is terrible no matter how you look at it, but the current group occupying those offices are not particularly looked at as non biased non politically motivated agencies either.

    They are better than what’s moving in, but they lost their way a while ago IMHO.

    Since they cater to their shareholders instead of the unbiased truth, they won’t get universal or even the majority of public support.
