Pentagon Spokesperson Admits There’s a Secret Blacklist of Journalists
A CENTCOM public affairs official revealed that U.S. Central Command maintains a secret blacklist of journalists, stating that reporters who call the command too often could be added to it. This disclosure occurs amid scrutiny regarding a failed war in Iran, casualty cover-ups, and repeated refusals by CENTCOM to address questions about civilian deaths. Critics argue these actions are part of a broader assault on press freedom, including filing SLAPPs and restricting journalist access.
