The Pentagon fired top Stars and Stripes journalists after they publicly resisted Defense Department interference in the military newspaper. Apparently “support the troops” now comes with an editor’s note: shut the hell up.

Freedom of the press was always illusory here in the "U.S."
From the article: Erik Slavin, editor-in-chief of the military newspaper that is partly funded by the Pentagon, told The Associated Press he was dismissed for insubordination after an interview he gave that objected to censorship by the US military on conditions facing US soldiers aboard USS Abraham Lincoln.

Who gets to judge the press? Soon an AI — if you can pay for it.
Peter Thiel, who secretly bankrupted Gawker in 2016, is now backing "Objection.ai": for $2,000–15,000, an AI jury "rates" press claims — with a public score for journalists. First targets: NYT, WSJ, individual reporters.
No court. No right to reply. Just money and an algorithm.
Cui bono?

"America has imprisoned journalists before. It has even killed them…"
https://theintercept.com/2026/08/16/ricardo-parias-ice-detention-journalist-los-angeles/
"But what has happened to [Carlitos Ricardo] Parias is something different: [The] journalist was injured while documenting government power, shot during an attempt to arrest him, prosecuted, repeatedly denied medical care —and then left in immigration detention, where he has continued documenting the conditions around him." #ice #pressfreedom -
Jason Arday’s death has already been folded into a story of racist media persecution.
But the documented timeline is messier: academic concerns dating back to 2023, a Times Higher Education investigation killed after legal pressure, a journalist reported to police, and the Met later admitting its intervention risked frustrating legitimate journalism.

@Wen This, so much this: "The essence of a free #press is that #journalists can use verified information from sources without being forced to reveal who they are. This betrays a failure to understand how important that principle is to #journalism.”

Four days later the Senate confirmed the man Sullivan had already found in violation of that same Act.
One reporter. One statute. One filing cabinet the entire federal government would rather she had left alone. When did one person last make this government open a drawer it had already decided to keep shut?

An attorney with a license to protect, a byline, and a working client list filed the first lawsuit anyone has ever brought to enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Against the Justice Department. Alone.
Judge Emmet Sullivan sided with her. Ordered the department to unredact key documents and publish a redaction log, and then declined to pause his own order so the government could appeal. #Epstein #Journalism #PressFreedom #Accountability #Law #Courts #News #USPolitics #FOIA
