The Pentagon has told the press corps that covers it, there are some new rules to follow - that is, if they want to keep their official credentials that allow them to report from inside the building. It is worth noting, the move came at the end of a week where the Trump administration took aim at First Amendment rights on several fronts.
President Trump tried to sue The New York Times. ABC took late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off the airwaves after the chairman of the FCC threatened the network's stations unless they acted against the longtime Trump critic. Trump also warned that broadcasters who air the voices of critics like Kimmel should lose their licenses.
