reminder that in time of major war, the US Government has taken away press credentials from major news outlets. And the rubes laugh when we call them authoritarians. Even now they won't let the nation's most important newspaper into press conferences.

The Associated Press, The Washington Post and the major broadcast networks (ABC News, CBS News and NBC News) were among the legacy outlets in attendance, even though all have lost their credentials. Absent from the briefing was The New York Times, which in December filed suit against the Pentagon over the media restrictions.
A Times spokesman said, “Reporters from The Times were not invited to the press conference in person, nor granted access when one of them asked to attend.”
