To the editor: Who would have thought, of all of the influential establishments being attacked by the Trump administration — white-shoe legislation corporations, prestigious universities, legacy media/information organizations and huge companies — it could be the comedians who would have the braveness to stay collectively, assist one another and stand tall in defiance, even because the highly effective grovel and capitulate?
Credentialed Pentagon journalists and their bosses ought to study a lesson from these courageous humorous males within the face of President Trump and Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth’s latest assault on the first Modification, requiring them to solely report data that the federal government desires launched (“Pentagon steps up media restrictions, requiring approval earlier than reporting even unclassified information,” Sept. 21). Even unclassified data can’t be launched with out approval.
Think about if the entire journalists from legacy and different respected retailers had been united and refused to attend press conferences, presidential interviews, Cupboard conferences, seats on Air Power One or some other alternative Trump has to talk until and till full independence to write down in regards to the Pentagon is restored. How lengthy would it not take for that to occur?
I’d guess much less time than it took for Jimmy Kimmel to be again on the air.
