It’s a move that’s sure to upset ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats. The Pentagon is expanding media access but workspace is limited. What’s the solution? The military citadel is starting a rotation program that swaps out four media outlets every year from the workspace at the building. So, shift four out while shifting four in every year. It was announced Friday night that NBC News, NPR, The New York Times, and Politico would be soon leaving with Breitbart, The New York Post, OANN, and The Huffington Post replacing them.
Take a look at the press release, it lays out all the new rules.

The Pentagon is shaking up its press access, kicking out four major outlets—The New York Times, Politico, National Public Radio, and NBC News.
In their place, the Pentagon is granting access to OANN, Breitbart, HuffPost, and the New York Post.
Officials say it’s part of a new "media rotation program" to give different outlets a chance at in-house reporting.
With these changes, expect a very different tone in Pentagon press coverage. Source: @bnodesk

More like "bitch and moan about this for the next 4 years." Awww, the poor lil' tykes!
All press members will still have the same access and privileges, all that’s changing is which outlets can occupy the physical workspace at the building.
This seems fair, but entitled outlets will surely write persecution sob stories about it.
Legacy media outlets are always mad about ‘something’ that’s nothing.
The organizations, except one, are decidedly right-leaning. That’s sure to upset the Democrat-supporting ones they just replaced.
