Stand with America’s Journalists:
Reject Pentagon Press Censorship
Common Cause
(October 15, 2025) — Pete Hegseth demanded a loyalty pledge from every single journalist covering his so-called “Department of War” – asking them to only report on what the Trump Administration wants them to. [Source]
Obviously, nearly all of them refused to comply – because journalists are supposed to hold the powerful accountable… NOT do their P.R. work for them. [Source]
So this week, hundreds of journalists lost their press credentials – not just at mainstream outlets like the New York Times and CNN, but even ordinarily pro-Trump outlets like Fox News, Newsmax, and the Daily Caller!
These brave journalists deserve our support for holding firm – and Hegseth deserves every American’s condemnation for trying to turn our free press into another mouthpiece for Trump’s agenda.
