Senate Democrats Introduce Bill to Roll Back Press Restrictions at Pentagon The Senate Democrats' introduction of a bill to curb press restrictions at the Pentagon is long overdue.
The Defense Secretary's efforts to muzzle journalists have been met with growing criticism from within and outside the Department of Defense (DoD).
These restrictions not only pose an affront to press freedom but also betray the Pentagon's own values. A prime example of this suppression is the Pentagon's new media relations guidance, issued in February.
