Hegseth's 'warrior ethos' vision targets First Amendment; courts expected to reject media crackdown
NegativeU.S News

The Pentagon's new rules for journalists, which require reporters to pledge not to disclose any 'unauthorized' information, are raising serious concerns about media freedom. This initiative, led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is seen as an attempt to impose a 'warrior ethos' that could stifle critical reporting. As courts are expected to reject this crackdown, the implications for First Amendment rights and the role of the press in holding power accountable are significant. This situation highlights the ongoing tension between national security and the public's right to know.
