Federal Judge Blocks Pentagons Restrictive Press Policy
A federal judge in Washington has struck down key parts of the Pentagons policy limiting reporters access to the building, siding with The New York Times in their lawsuit against the Defense Department. The policy, which targeted journalists who refused to agree to new credential rules, was found to violate First Amendment free speech rights and Fifth Amendment due process. The judge called the policy vague and discriminatory, rejecting the Pentagons request to pause the ruling for an appeal. The decision applies to all affected journalists, ensuring open access for the press during wartime.
