Honestly very impressed by Newsmax, the Washington Times, and the Washington Examiner.

They deserve credit precisely because they’re standing up for journalistic principle notwithstanding their ideological inclination.

4. so... for those of us not tuned in...

What they signing / not signing?

5. I had to look it up (I wasn't sure either)

According to the Independent it's the new Pentagon restrictions on reporters and reporting

6. Policies?

More like a wish list by Hegsmut to stay out of trouble for his stupid management, if you want to call it that.

Look at this concluding paragraph from the above story:

Hegseth took it even further on Monday, responding to the condemnations from several news publications – notably the New York Times, the Post and the Atlantic – with a hand-waving emoji, as if saying goodbye to the outlets.

Think how funny it will look for him to have only one news source at his press conferences.

P.s. thank you, rpannier, for looking that up. I was one of many readers who was baffled by the lack of context.

8. Thank you!

10. Whoops. I see in retrospect that I didn't say what was not being signed.

Thanks to rpannier for clarifying that.

And good morning, all.
