To the editor: Who would have thought, of all of the influential establishments being attacked by the Trump administration — white-shoe legislation companies, prestigious universities, legacy media/information organizations and huge firms — it might be the comedians who would have the braveness to stay collectively, help 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 current assault on the first Modification, requiring them to solely report info that the federal government needs launched (“Pentagon steps up media restrictions, requiring approval earlier than reporting even unclassified information,” Sept. 21). Even unclassified info can’t be launched with out approval.
Think about if all the journalists from legacy and different respected shops have been united and refused to attend press conferences, presidential interviews, Cupboard conferences, seats on Air Power One or another alternative Trump has to talk until and till full independence to write down concerning the Pentagon is restored. How lengthy wouldn’t it take for that to occur?
I’d guess much less time than it took for Jimmy Kimmel to be again on the air.
