Media outlets, including Fox News and CNN, refuse to sign Pentagon's press access rules | CNN Business The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign.

This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

Corruption and grift at every turn. 🇺🇸

Trump: "The numbers are worse than they ever -- don't let anyone tell you they're not. The whole statistical charts they made, the whole thing is a rigged deal. They got rid of the guy because he didn't want to do the numbers the way they wanted to and they put their own numbers out."
