The Department of Defense ordered a handful of news media outlets to vacate their offices inside the Pentagon so that they may be replaced by some conservative press organizations.

In a memo issued on Friday, Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense John Ullyot said the Pentagon wanted to “broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents Corridor to outlets that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon.”

It was not clear what if any role Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth played in the decision.

The department’s “new Annual Media Rotation Program” will begin on Feb. 14, and will require The New York Times, NBC News, National Public Radio, and Politico to vacate “their physical office space effective” on that date.

The Post, OAN, and Breitbart are all extremely pro-Trump organizations, though the inclusion of HuffPost – a historically liberal website – is curious. The president has long railed against legacy media outlets such as The New York Times and NBC News. On Thursday, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr sent a letter to NPR and PBS to inform them that the agency is investigating them for airing sponsorships.

“I am concerned that NPR and PBS broadcasts could be violating federal law by airing commercials,” Carr wrote of the standard practice. “In particular, it is possible that NPR and PBS member stations are broadcasting underwriting announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements.”

It's not just curious, it's bizarre - HuffPost is as left-wing as it gets, it's owned by BuzzFeed, which published the Steele dossier of disgusting lies about Trump, and no one reads HuffPost anymore.

Which aide screwed up and invited HuffPost?

Huffpost is the liberal “beard”. They can’t say it’s all far right media.

It wasn’t a screw-up, how else will people become aware that what they’ve been told for years is “mainstream media” is actually, as you say, as far left as it can get.

As the good teachers used to say, “Compare and contrast”..

Huffpost is the liberal media representative

there are 2 options for there seat position:

1. At the very back

2. At the very front

I like the 2nd option:

Front and center in the first row..surrounded by Trump media supporters

And only occasionally acknowledged for a question.

Dont’t mind rotating, but people are delusional if they think Breitbart is anything but a propaganda factory as well.

This was a huge mistake...They were operatives and point men working for Nancy Pelosi when she went after the defense company I worked for.

This has some of my more liberal friends on Facebook aghast. They simply can’t believe that NBC is being kicked off and Breitbart brought on instead.

Never been to Nirvana, but I’ve been through Peculiar Missouri. If they have butter , beer, and popcorn, it’ll hurt but suffering builds character. I’ll just have to tough it out. 😂
