NY Times Sues Pentagon Over Press Access Restrictions

The New York Times has sued the Pentagon, challenging new rules that bar mainstream media from the building, arguing they violate freedom of speech and due process. The rules, implemented by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have led to a walkout by many news organizations. The Times claims the policy is an attempt to control reporting the government dislikes, while the Pentagon defends it as common sense rules to protect the military. The lawsuit names the Defense Department, Secretary Hegseth, and chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell as defendants. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
