Pentagon demands journalists pledge to not obtain unauthorized material Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is imposing strict new rules that would severely limit the ability of journalists to report on the Pentagon.

The Trump administration said it will require journalists at the Pentagon to pledge they won’t gather any information that hasn’t been authorized for release.

Under the policy, the Pentagon may revoke press passes for anyone it deems a security threat.

The Book of Guilt is a sinister, chilling story. It is set in England in 1979 and centres on 3 boys who eventually find out they are "copies" of an infamous serial killer.

As an expert on media’s role in democracy, my prognosis of current state of mainstream news in America (and elsewhere) is that media is either cowed by or deliberately complicit in Trump’s authoritarian attack on American democracy. News media has one job - to serve democracy - and they’re failing.
