Pointless having journalists there at all if everything they are allowed to publish has first to be signed off by the pentagon's press office. Anything embarrassing for the DoW will just be refused permission. I'm not surprised that they threw in the towel.

I actually think this is counter productive - journalists are supposed to be independent uncontrolled sources of truth. Of course they brought this on themselves with years of not being independent and merely parrotting deep state talking points.
