Major media outlets, including Fox News, CNN, ABC, and NBC, have declined to sign new Pentagon reporting rules. Fox News, which previously employed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, joined other networks in refusing the agreement. The new Pentagon reporting rules, aimed at regulating the media’s access to classified information and military operations, have faced resistance from several major news organizations. The decision by these outlets to not sign the agreement has raised questions about the potential impact on press freedom and transparency in military reporting.
