The Associated Press, Reuters and Getty Images were among the media groups that sent photographers to the briefing with Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"But after they published photos — which have broad reach because they are licensed by publications globally — members of Hegseth’s staff told colleagues that they did not like the way that the secretary looked," two people who were familiar with the decision told The Post. They asked to speak under the condition of anonymity, citing concerns over potential retaliation.

Hegseth's aides then barred photographers from joining two other briefings at the Pentagon on March 4 and March 10.

“In order to use space in the Pentagon Briefing Room effectively, we are allowing one representative per news outlet if uncredentialed, excluding pool," Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson said in a written statement. "Photographs from the briefings are immediately released online for the public and press to use. If that hurts the business model for certain news outlets, then they should consider applying for a Pentagon press credential.”

1. Dear Kingsley, Freedom of the press is not a "business model".

It is a It is an essential part of our democracy. There is no such thing as freedom of the press under Trump though. Or any of the other freedoms guaranteed to us by the constitution that matter. And these guys do not own the White House dammit

2. Where are these "unflattering" photos? The one in the article made him look ugly as ever.

3. This is why I hate Raw Story

They post clickbait digests and don't have clear links to follow up.

5. the wapo link in the story has a pic of him looking like "what?"

not sure if that’s the pic in question. it’s not that bad.

[mr715]

7. Yeah, I feel that can't be the photo

But who knows? He's had much more unflattering photos than that.

9. like, all of them?

photographers cant help it that he’s just ugly inside and out.

[mr715]

10. This is true.

How do you hide ugly when it is oozing out from inside?

I have the same issue with Melania who is a technically attractive person yet nonetheless elicits nothing but revulsion from me because she just exudes coldness.

It was very funny when she dressed as a ghost to the reception with King Charles. The only photo of her I ever liked was the one where she was dressed like a horror film creature.

8. NYC is such a beautiful city

And the 9/11 memorial is awesome in the truest sense of the word.

13. Truly wonderful town. And the GZ memorial is a most heartbreaking place.

Seeing the image of Whiskey Pete reminds me he may have the physique of a body NAZI, he is not of sound mind.

12. Why is he half naked at the 9/11 memorial?

[Kid Berwyn]

14. He is reported to have swimmed (or swam or swum...) across the Hudson....

... with Navy Seals and others participating in a fundraiser for veterans. Perhaps the Fox TV personality mistook the flag for his towel.

I remember Ollie North went nuts and ran around DC naked before the MPs got to him.

11. For shame.
