Exactly! “[Journalists] ask hard questions, show up unannounced, and press for details a commander may not be ready to provide. But that’s their job, and soldiers ought to understand that.”

Inside the legal defense of Georgia Fort and Don Lemon. “You can look back at this last year and see that the administration’s attacks on the media are very much content-oriented,” Lemon’s lawyer said.

The case against Don Lemon and Georgia Fort suggests that if they had done their reporting differently, they might not face legal liability. This notion that anyone accused of bias is not entitled to First Amendment protections is chilling. Read @joelsimonsays.bsky.social www.cjr.org/analysis/ins...

Lindsey Graham’s Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran Few others in the president’s ear argued for the attack as effectively as South Carolina’s senior senator.

Extraordinary. Reporting by @wsj.com :

"The senator said he was already talking with Trump about further military interventions in Lebanon and potentially Cuba, which he said would happen soon. He wasn’t particularly concerned about what was next in Iran, he said."

The press faces a Pentagon ‘black box’ on the Iran war | CNN Business As Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the US is “accelerating” its Iran strikes, Pentagon beat reporters say they’re not getting answers to key questions about the ongoing military operations.

"Nearly $1 trillion in taxpayer money flows into the department, and decisions being made by the secretary are literally life and death decisions about putting American troops in harm’s way — the public deserves to know what their military is doing, especially in times of war."

Lessons: "Bukele’s conception of power is based on controlling media platforms. El Faro already had a certain prestige back then. ....When I refused to sell it to him, Bukele started a television channel." #PressFreedom is your freedom. 👇

How Journalists Are Reporting From Iran With No Internet After strikes killed senior Iranian officials, Iran cut off internet access. Journalists are relying on satellite links, encrypted apps and smuggled footage to report from inside the country.

"The right of information is always the first casualty when the government [prioritises] its security objectives."

Lebanon/Israel: Civilians at Grave Risk of Abuse Civilians are at grave risk of abuse as the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah escalates.

“When war crimes and other grave abuses take place with complete impunity, they are likely to happen again, with civilians paying the price.

Allied countries need to put pressure on Israel and Hezbollah to abide by the laws of war and minimize civilian harm.”
