5. What I'm talking about are the two reports

here in DU that are usually posted ASAP. Were their posts original or based on other original posts.

My reference to Kegsbreath was about the new policy concerning the press and the Pentagon. The policy is new and is currently implemented against a Judges order. The Pentagon at the behest of Kegsbreath is trying to rewrite and implement new policies as of this last week. To which the lawyer Ted Bhutros and the Judge have said, not so fast. The Pentagon end run is not fooling anybody.

Breaking news does not mean originally sourced. NYT, CNN and MS Now may have broken the news to their viewers but it doesn't mean they didn't have to rely on original sourcing. I honestly don't know who got the story first. My post was written based on my observation here on DU and my previous knowledge of the Pentagon Press policy.
If I had to guess, Fox or one of this Administration's favored news sources was imbeded with a source close to the operation to get first hand knowledge.
My gripe, is the bad treatment of news outlets not associated with FOX or any of the other MAGA cheerleaders.
