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.

    “I’m not the one being deported, sure, I feel bad but it’s not like one voice will make a difference”
