🇺🇸 NEWSMAX DEFIES PENTAGON PRESS RULES UNDER SECRETARY HEGSETH Newsmax just broke ranks with Trump’s Pentagon, refusing to sign the new media access policy pushed by War Secretary Pete Hegseth. The rules would let Pentagon officials pre-screen stories and punish military insiders who talk without clearance. Newsmax called the plan “unnecessary and onerous,” while outlets like The Washington Post and The Atlantic warned it guts the First Amendment. The showdown is now the loudest test yet of how far the Pentagon will go to control defense coverage. Source: Newsweek
