@CynicalPublius Yes, Google is misinterpreting the rules

“. . . information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified."

This quote was fed into google.

- Image
I fed in the longer, complete quote

“. . . information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released by any military member, DoW civilian employee or contract employee, even if it is unclassified.”

- still misinterpreted

Image
@CynicalPublius I believe that Google interprets this from an authoritative perspective. The authority is the mainstream press.

The press is using Google, and Google is parroting their thinking in answer.

Pentagon access is a privilege, not a right. So, here is @DeptofWar press credentialing FOR DUMMIES:

- Press no longer roams free
- Press must wear visible badge
- Credentialed press no longer permitted to solicit criminal acts

Done

- Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War

The secretary and his staff know this, but:

- Journalists have never been able to roam free in the Pentagon.

- Journalists have always worn visible badges.

- Paul McLeary
- National Security for @politico.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just CRACKED DOWN on leaks and fake news reporters roaming the Pentagon whenever they want.
