LOADING ERROR LOADINGA federal judge questioned the Pentagon’s new press restrictions during a hearing on Monday. Earlier this month, Judge Paul Friedman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia blocked the Pentagon’s latest press restrictions. However, according to a complaint from The New York Times, the Pentagon did not simply follow the order. Instead, it limited reporter access by shutting down the Correspondents’ Corridor and granting journalists access to another area that the press cannot reach without being escorted. After Friedman’s ruling, a New York Times spokesperson said that it “reaffirms the right of The Times and other independent media to continue to ask questions on the public’s behalf.”Advertisement
