Pentagon reporters have now turned in their badges – but plan to keep reporting https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/oct/15/pentagon-press-reporting-policy #Newspapers&magazines #Trumpadministration #Pressregulation #Pressfreedom #PeteHegseth #TheAtlantic #TheGuardian #USmilitary #USpolitics #Newspapers #USnews #Media #CNN

“It’s sad, but I’m also really proud of the #PressCorps that we stuck together,” said Nancy Youssef, a reporter for #TheAtlantic who has had a desk at the #Pentagon since 2007. She took a map of the Middle East out to her car.

It is unclear what practical impact the new rules will have, though news organizations vowed they’d continue robust coverage of the #military no matter the vantage point.

Netanyahu's got an "8th front" going - he's looking to do #ReputationLaundering and convince folk that it wasn't genocide but instead that the slaughter and starvation of innocents was legal.

People pay an aweful lot to get their reputation laundered. Countries who've done genocide probably a whole lot more.
#TomNicols might not even know that he's doing $Hasbara
Here's #AnneApplebaum, also at #TheAtlantic. Maybe also unaware.

@JamesWNeal

This'd be the second reported shut-off by #Musk?

Wonder if what looked exactly like a #ReputationLaundering campaign will kick in again and have respected journalists and publications like #AnneApplebaum and #TheAtlantic putting out more exonerations of Musk shutting off data based on very flimsy evidence?

Amazing what billions of dollars can buy.

And is Musk a RU asset? Or is there a more #QuidProQuo relationship?

Good explainer from #TheAtlantic about the coming end to all financial regulation in the US via #crypto.

> "If #Congress passes #FIT21 it would invent a novel asset class called 'digital commodities' - in essence, any financial asset managed on a blockchain. Digital commodities would be exempted from #SEC oversight. In the FIT21 bill any firm or person can self-certify a financial product as a digital commodity. The SEC would have only 60 days to object. This is a loophole big enough to fit an investment bank through"

> "Wall St is talking up "tokenization" meaning putting assets on a digital ledger. The putative justification is capital efficiency. [The real] justification is regulatory arbitrage: Investments on a blockchain would move out of the SEC’s purview & be subject to fewer disclosure, reporting, consumer protection, [#moneylaundering etc. rules]"

Oh come on - The Onion is meant to be satire.

"Elon throws tantrum, fires folks" is expected behaviour, not satire.

Is this categorising of Musk' s expected behaviour as being somehow "different and remarkable" part of some ongoing #ReputationLaundering campaign?

If so then sorry to see #TheOnion has been corrupted just like #TheGuardian and the #TheAtlantic.

We thank Ned Hamson for sharing this story from #DianeRavitch's blog which was originally published at #TheAtlantic, not normally a place we would frequent.

We have wondered why the #twitterBuyer is so #elevated in the press.
